Having issues with getting box art to show. It shows up on the Quick Start menu in the top screen, but it doesn't show up in the actual menu (black box with a ? mark). Is that like, normal? Or am I missing something?

It's possible the "dsimenu.srldr" file is out of date.
Try getting the latest one from the TWLMenu+ 7z file, in "/_nds/TWiLightMenu/", and put it in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/".

Did that, still doesn't work. Enabling the setting to cache them in memory gets them to work, but disabling it causes the black box/? again.

The Boot.NDS file in the SDHC card of my DSi XL looks like a corrupted mess on the Unlauch menu. What do I do?
What is the correct way to put the GBA BIOS in my SD Card?
When I turned on my DSI XL without pressing any buttons, I got a message that said stuff along the lines of "DLDI not found".

You have to put in the "boot.nds" file for SD card users.

Put "bios.bin" in the SD root, "sd:/gba/", or "sd:/_gba/".

So I'm now getting it just sitting on a white screen after the DS splash screen. I have to hit home and close it. If I try it again it'll be fine. This is happening quite regularly.
Don't think it's the SD card, I did an hwtest on it and it's fine everywhere else?

Try closing the lid and opening it again, when it's stuck on white screens.

Try reformatting your SD card using SDFormatter.

Hello.:)

Did you use an regular SD Card or a microSD with Adapter or an SD Card bigger than 32 GB please ?
And of course your SD Card is formatted with FAT32.:D

Thank you.:)

Thank you both for your help! Ordering a regular 2GB SD card solved all of my problems.
Unlaunch runs fine now and so do all the Pokemon ROMs.
Have a nice day you 2 :)

Hi. I've been trying to paste the _nds/ folder to the root of my SD card (16GB), but it keeps calculating forever, staying on 0%. If I try to cancel, it stops responding. I tried using an older version, and, while it did manage to go up to 4%, it completely froze again on a file called dsimenu.srldr. I really wanted to play some DS games on it, but I can't seem to make it work! Help, please?

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?
    :rofl2:
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017
  • Metoroid0 @ Metoroid0:
    mabe where you live
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The NES launched at like 250 and the rob and light gun kit was like 350 or something
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I was near the test market for the NES and man did it make my 2600 look like ass lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    There has to be some mutual agreement with them all anything over $600 is just pc territory

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The 3DO and Neo Geo where like 700 bucks hmm the PS3 was stupid expensive at launch lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just played some Micheal Jackson Moonwalker.... Those poor parents trying desperately to protect their children
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    400 is a decent sweet spot if we get enough out of it
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's not like how it was when we were locked down to a few options and that's it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
