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

[FanNintendo]

It should already be in "TWiLightMenu" folder.
both nds-bootstrap_hb-release and nds_bootstrap-release right?

 

[RocketRobz]

nds-bootstrap-gbar2-release.nds and nds-bootstrap-gbar2-nightly.nds

 

[FanNintendo]

nds-bootstrap-gbar2-release.nds and nds-bootstrap-gbar2-nightly.nds

it not showing in twilight menu

it not showing in twilight menu

Here's the path in the 7z file: DSi&3DS - SD card users/_nds

 

[FanNintendo]

Gbarunner2.nds and gbarunner2_fc.nds

 

[RocketRobz]

Gbarunner2.nds and gbarunner2_fc.nds

Oh yeah, those go in "sd:/_nds".
You also need "nds-bootstrap-gbar2-release.nds" and "nds-bootstrap-gbar2-nightly.nds", again, both in "DSi&3DS - SD card users/_nds" in the latest TWiLight Menu++ 7z file.
Put both said files in "sd:/_nds".

I'm unable to save RetroGame Challenge. Is this a known issue? Anything I can do to make it saves properly right now?

Enable logging in TWLMenu++ settings, launch the game, turn it off after it boots, then upload the nds-bootstrap .LOG file from the SD root.

Hello.

v8.1.1

Boot up time from hiya CFW Splashscreen into TWiLight Menu/DSi Theme (disabled Healthscreen/DS Classic Menu etc.):

12 seconds.


Compared with my R4 clone Flashcard with YS Menu from DSi Healthscreen over DSi Menu into YS Menu - 10 seconds.

Excellent work.

Hmm, nothing looks wrong.
Please open an issue on nds-bootstrap's GitHub.

EDIT: What region is your ROM?

@Robz8 hey do u know how to make pic in .bmp with ARGB or RGBA whatever they call it without color space to convert from .png to .bmp in 16 bit?

 

[Alexander1970]

Hello there, you can do this if you have already an existing PNG:
First, you need to have GIMP installed, once you have downloaded it, open it and press CTRL+N
This will open a new tab called "create a new image" enter the specifications Robz8 gave (208x156) and make sure that next to HEIGHT says PX (pixels).
Now, once the program has created the canvas, drag and drop your .PNG in the program and wait for it to process the image.
Once it has loaded up the image, adjust it to the canvas, (doesnt needs to be perfect) OPTIONAL: To avoid cropping press SHIFT while holding one of the image corners The square not the diamond.
When you feel the image is good as it is press CTRL+SHIFT+E or File>Export As... to export .
A tab will open up to confirm the exporting details, here click where it says "All export images" and select "Windows BMP Image" make sure the name also finishes in a .bmp extension
After this hit export, Do not Click Again on Export Yet, go to where it says "compartibility options" and make sure the option "Do not write color space information" Is Checked
Then click on "Advanced Options" and go to "16 Bit" then Select "A1 R5 G5 B5" and also make sure "Run Lenght Encoded" Is not checked
After you've done all of this, now you can click on Export again
And... there you go a freshly baked .bmp image ready to be used in the DSi theme

How do you Ajust it to canvas after drag and drop the .png in program??

 

[Gyurn]

Was Tales of Innocence broken during a release? It won't go past the white screen for me anymore?

 

[UnfortunateLoaf]

Simple just click and hold on the image to adjust it and move it around and also to avoid cropping as i said before click and hold on the squares in the corners of the image not the diamond.
