The white screen bug will be fixed in the next version, as it'll be able to boot TWL cartridges (only in DS mode).

No, this is not intended, otherwise, the screen wouldn't be in widescreen at all.

Widescreen actually works fine for me with cartridges.
What theme are you using?

I've tried all the themes and it doesn't seem to work right in any of them. In any case normally I launch the game from the DS Classic Menu.

Same here.
Also, try adding "SLOT1_CARDENGINE = 1" to "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/settings.ini", if there's no existing instance of "SLOT1_CARDENGINE".

That line was indeed missing and adding it solved the problem. It displays the widescreen correctly with the retail cartridge. Thank you so much for your help!

I just got a flashcart for DS games. I don't see the use of it anymore. Simple as that :)
You can still use both.
  • TWiLight Menu++ provides multi-save slots.
  • It'll boot DSi-Enhanced games, Exclusives, and DSiWare (from SD card) in DSi mode soon.
  • You can run games in widescreen.
  • You can improve performance with TWL clock speed and/or VRAM boost.

Yes. I always delete files in patchoffset cahe and saves before trying new nds-bootstrap revisions.
Those missing addresses are now found by nds-bootstrap but no change.

I did notice that commit 9ab164a fixed the screen flickering issue on the title screen of Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs (B3R/E/J/P) on my New 3DSXL but is present again with latest nightly.

EDIT : 9ab164a also fixes the screen flickering with Mario & Luigi Bowsers Inside story (CLJ/E/J/P) on my NEW 3DSXL[/COLOR]

How do you go to the rom selection menu on the latest version? In older builds you could just click on the yellow arrow on the bottom right side of the touchscreen on the DS main menu.

Edit: NVM just had to press B, I am dumb, also just a little question regarding DSi enhanced mode launching soon, for example Pokemon B/W & B2/W2 supported WPA encryption because of DSi enhanced features, will twilight menu allow B/W & B2/W2 to connect to the resurrected Pokemon trading/GTS functionality developed by the community without needing to use something like a WiFi hotspot with no security?

Nah, we've been getting that lately. :P
An indicator will be added in the next version.

    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
