Phone hotspots are very hit and miss sadly.

After trying to play GTA Chinatown Wars on widescreen now all of my DS games are in widescreen even when disabled. How can I fix this?

So ALL your games are in Widescreen, even those that aren't officially supported? Uh...
1) If it's possible to make EVERY game widescreen, why don't they just make them all officially supported?
2) How do I make this "error" occur intentionally?
You're not the first person who's said they've had this issue.

You're not the first person who's said they've had this issue.

1) For games to be officially supported in widescreen, a cheat that compresses the screen horizontally, needs to be created, so that it looks non-stretched in widescreen.
Problem is, it's not possible for every game, as some may use the 2D engine.
2) Just run TWPatch, and enable widescreen.

I am having trouble with my DSi, I can launch TwilightMenu from the camera ap via the memory pit method, but UNLAUNCH gives me a black screen. In the guide it said to use GodMode9 instead if I had the blackscreen error but couldn't figure out what to do there. Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: NVM I'm just stupid, I thought I had to use GodMode instead of UNLAUNCH, but no, I HAD TO LAUNCH UNLAUNCH VIA GODMODE. Sorry, old people moment here on my part, but I won't delete the comment in case someone is stupid like me and this helps.

Do other games have this issue?

I've tried mario kart ds and it works fine. The world ends with you's save is recognized but when the game is done loading the save isn't there.

Hello, I have a DSi XL and I installed Unlaunch, then I installed the TWL, everything was fine during the game, but the next night I turned on the console and it starts with the alarm menu and won't let me out, or do anything else, just that menu and also go to the settings when I go to options, turn it off and turn it on again and again and the same, what can I do?

Press POWER, hold A+B, go to OPTIONS, then set TWiLight Menu++ (boot.nds) for "NO BUTTON".

I'm having trouble running NeoDS from SD using Twilight Menu on my DSi XL. I've posted my problem here before, but I was redirected to this thread. Someone in the thread I just linked claimed it's possible, but whenever I try to run NeoDS, the menu lists my roms perfectly, but when I launch one, it gets stuck on "Loading banks into main RAM..." with a white screen at the top. There is one exception, which is the NeoGeo BIOS itself, which instead gets stuck on "No rom banks..."

As far as troubleshooting goes, I have tried both Twinkle Star Sprites and Pulstar. I am 100% sure my TSS rom works, as I've run it in MAME previously, when it was still in .zip format. Both roms are in .neo format, and I have stored them in both the root of my SD card and a folder titled "neods," since some NeoDS versions I have tried allow you to store your roms in a folder. Building off of that point, I have tried 4 versons of NeoDS: NeoDS 2.0 (the one labeled simply NeoDS), NeoDS 2.1, NeoDS 2.1b, and NeoDSEZ, a port for EZFlash 3 in 1s. I followed all directions in the ReadMe files of NeoDS 2.1 and 2.1b. My issue is independent of NeoDS versions, as each version produces the same result.

I have tried two ramdisks on NeoDS 2.0, one being 12 MB and the other being 28, but whenever I choose a ramdisk, no roms are shown in the menu, even though the menu shows roms when using no ramdisks.

I have attached a photo of the original issue, using NeoDS 2.1b and playing Twinkle Star Sprites.

Thank you so much! for the quick answer and for the excellent solution

Nope, it doesn't support it.

Hey I'm just realize this, but I think one or two years ago if I boot directly to TwilightMenu (well, that time the name was DSiMenu++) from Unlaunch without boot HiyaCFW first it will boot normally but DS Roms won't play now because lucky mistake I do the same and surprised that it can play DS rom, so is it safe to assume that I don't need HiyaCFW anymore and just fine with Unlaunch with TwilightMenu?

I had Ysmenu because my r4 has a timebomb, but I installed dsimenu++ to try it out. A few games don't work so I want to keep Ysmenu as well but when I select it from Dsimenu it just goes to an error screen. Any way to have both at the same time?

Have YSMenu start on boot first.
Also, DSiMenu++ is a prior name to TWiLight Menu++.
Are you on an old version, or the latest version?

Yes, hiyaCFW is no longer needed to run DS ROMs.

Hello, not sure if this is where to ask this or if this is a commonly known/unfixable problem but I've been trying to play a Soul Silver rom all day on a DSi running the latest version of TwilightMenu and every 10-15 minutes it freezes and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. When it does the music still plays, but it tends to when I enter a new loading zone or exit a menu and it locks up and I can't do anything. As far as I know that rom is fully compatible so idk why it's freezing so often and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software.

The freezing is a known issue. It is currently unknown how to fix this.

Does this issue also occur when trying to use the same rom on a 3DS?

I've heard that freezing occurs less on 3DS.

Hey @Robz8 ,

Is there any way to prevent the audio to cracle in Layton games with bootstrap?
Also, I installed Bootstrap and Twilight Menu. Both apps have settings for overclocking and higher audio frequency and stuff. Which settings are the important ones if I play via bootstrap? Do the twilight ones override the other ones?
Also, is there a way to show the dsi screen (or a white screen) instead of the bootstrap logo when loading a game (via 3ds forwarder)? I have nothing against the logo, but my sister might find it sketchy and think that there might be a virus or something. Thanks a bunch in advance!
