Anyone else experiencing any issues with the updater? I've been unable to download any updates. The only option that works is downloading box art, but I have to be lucky for everything else to work.

I got a "WARNING: Unlaunch installed on the NAND dump" when redoing the process. Should I be worried about anything?

haha - yeah so how... one folder will just overwrite the other... EDIT - I have figured out what to do, I have the app running now. Thank you.
Glad you got it figured out. If I were on when you posted this I would've quickly corrected you there - almost all OSes (including all versions of Windows) merge folders when you copy folders with the same name and don't overwrite anything except individual files.

Hi there,

Before installing Twilight Menu, I would like to know it the games played through it are registered as regular games in the activity log, or if only the Twilight Menu appears there and summarize all hours played regardless the game.

That's because I like to keep track of my gameplays and time spent in each game.

Only TWLMenu++ will appear in the Activity Log.
If you want the individual games to appear, then use this.

So I set this up with an R4i Gold Pro on an original DS, but a couple things aren't working right:
-The DSi theme for the menu causes the ds to power off when i go to find a game
-With bootstrap set to release, I get error 1
-With bootstrap set to nightly, it starts to load and then crashes

When i got the nds-bootstrap-release.nds and put it where it seemed like it was supposed to be (though it is not) I got a new error where I'd select the game and it would just reload Twilight Menu.

Am I doing something wrong?

B4DS (nds-bootstrap for flashcards) compatibility isn't great yet.
Also, the shutdown issue will be fixed in the next version.

Hi guys, 3 things:

1. I was wondering if anyone got Fire Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow (aka New Mystery of the Emblem) working? I'm using the English patched rom but I get a warning that it may need an AP patch. Then it's white screen and it freezes. Now, the problem is I can't apply both the English patch and the AP patch since they require a clean rom. Any solutions?

2. The same applies for Ni no Kuni with it's new translation.

Finally, and sorry if it's not the right thread for this, but I played and beat Orcs & Elves (US) and it can be added to the compatibility list in green with no issues.

Forgot to mention - New 2DS XL, all up to date, loading from SD card.

Make sure you run the game in DS mode, not DSi mode (regular or forced).

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
