Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

[RocketRobz]

Just wanted to ask for some clarity, does this mean that twilight menu (or I guess technically nds-bootstrap) could be used to run a retail game nds rom on an action replay dsi? I'm asking since I recently tried to do this, however my attempts proved unsucessful, and I was wondering if it was because it's not possible to do this or if I simply made a mistake when trying.

Not all games work, so no, you did nothing wrong.

It is possible to run retail game nds roms on an action replay DSi. However, at the moment, not all games are compatible. Here is a link to the B4DS compatibility list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...dz_f7b5jiuyMv2x6e_jY_nyHSc/edit#gid=860616020

EDIT: Whoops, Robz posted something. Didn't see it for some reason

So, if I may, I'm still confused about that blurb on page 1, under "Set-up (Flashcard users, including DS Phat/DS lite)"

If you want to use TWL clock speed and/or VRAM boost on your flashcard games, launch your flashcard using TWiLight Menu++ on the console's SD card, with the "SCFG access in Slot-1" setting turned on.

Does this mean you can only run flashcards with TWL clock speed if you have either one of a 3DS with CFW and a DSi with HiyaCFW?

No.
It means you can set per-game settings for your DS ROMs while running TWLMenu++ your flashcard.

Okay. But how do you "launch your flashcard using TWiLight Menu++ on the console's SD card" if you're running TWLMenu++ from the flashcard, then?

You don't. You just do exactly that: Launch your flashcard using TWiLight Menu++ on the console's SD card.
It does not say: Launch your flashcard using TWiLight Menu++ on the console's flashcard.

I do apologize, I'm probably missing something brazenly obvious here.

Without CFW, the only way to start TWiLight Menu++ is from the flashcard, right? Is TWiLight Menu++ running from the flashcard then supposed to be able to access the SD card?

Hello.

1.YES
2.NO

I just installed this on my 3DS and I'm trying to get GBARunner working, but I'm getting the "BINF3DS sd card" error. I have the GBA Bios on the root of the SD. Whats going on? Thanks!

 

[SirNapkin1334]

this is a stupid question, but I can't find my games? it just shows a blank screen with no games, even though all my roms are in SD:/roms/nds

It's probably not the correct BIOS file, from what I heard.

Do they end in .nds?
If so, did you go to that folder in the app?

Yeah, they're .nds
I turned on "show folders" and realized that it actually put me at the root of the SD...maybe add an option that lets you specify the default roms directory like in TWLoader? Because I like clean menus without folders but I also don't like having files on the root when they don't have to be.

Is there a difference in performance running this in ds mode / dsi mode / dsi mode (forced)? Which should be used for a N3DS?

Also, the soft reset combo causes the app to crash and reset the system. Do I need to manually change a setting to get this feature to work? I am using the 3DS theme. I assume this allows you to return to the menu and select / load another game?

Most games run the same speed as on a flashcard.

Yes.
Turn on game patching in Luma settings to fix the crash.

Can anyone help me find the proper files for a fresh installation of DSiMenu++? All the github links I find return 404s, and the discord links are invalid.

TWiLight Menu++, you mean?
Links are in the first post.

It was to my understanding that DSiMenu++ replaced TWiLightMenu++.

I may have read incorrectly. I'll try this out now, thank you.

Thank you for the quick reply. Soft reset now works!

Reverse that and you'd be correct. TWiLightMenu++ is the newer name.

Is it possible to run the black 2 randomizer on this. I have just updated to the latest and AP patched my . nds, but it still hangs at white screen?
