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

[godreborn]

you need the base files for your flash cart first. I don't recall if it mentions that anywhere. then, you overwrite files and place twilight menu on that sd card. it should boot up by default without any sort of menu. I think the boot.nds is the autoboot file, so you don't have to select it.

You are saying that i need the base files like the kernel? I put the Twilight and the YSmenu files in the SD

 

[godreborn]

yes

@Robz8 Sorry for this being off-topic, but i am new here, and am trying to fix a DS Homebrew, and would like to know, how would someone go about editing a .nds file, or a .bin file (i was able to extract the nds file)? If you dont want to talk about it publicly, go ahead and try PM'ing me.

Which homebrew are you trying to fix?

Flashcard loader has been added for Acekard 2(i)!

Quick question: does this work with something that runs on Wood like the r4ids.cn card? If I'm not mistaken Wood is based on Acekard.

r4ids.cn cards have been supported for a while, afaik

My issue is that launching BOOT.NDS on my flashcard leads to a white screen and nothing else. I'm not sure what I'm missing, since I have the normal TWiLightMenu flashcard files and the Loader files as well.

Sounds like the DLDI driver is bugged.
Try inserting a DS Memory Expansion Pak.

Does that only work on the original DS? I've been using it with a 3DS.

Yes, the pak is designed for original DS consoles.

I'm sorry for not specifying, I meant the BOOT.NDS.

The boot.nds file is not console dependent.

I followed the instructions on another SD card and it worked. So I decided to delete and extract the _rpg, _nds, and _wfwd folders on the SD card I'm currently using and it works on that one too. I think the issue was the .ini file for global associations on my old _rpg folder that I was using for a GBA emulator was causing conflicts with TWiLightMenu. Sorry for causing any inconveniences.

Updater v4.4.0

Bug fix

• (@Pk11) "TWiLightMenu-3DS.7z" is now downloaded instead of the larger "TWiLightMenu.7z" file.

I think I possibly know the answer already but just to check - boxart makes this become unusably slow.

I have a 128GB SD card with hundreds of roms, so I am assuming that the sheer volume of boxart is making it slow. However, here's the thing:
-it still happens even if I put roms in folders with less than 40 files
-deleting the boxart doesn't fix the issue, I have to actually hide them in the settings.

Is this unavoidable?

The bigger the SD card, the slower the system will be. It doesn't matter how many boxart covers you have. You need a smaller SD card for the boot time to be faster.

 

[sj33]

It's not the boot time that's the issue. it's actually browsing through the menu. As I say, hiding boxart fixes the problem entirely.

Which homebrew are you trying to fix?

its a windows live messenger client, and some people want to patch it with a new revival server, im gonna load it on my 3ds and see if it has server settings, but i dont think so, all i really need to know is how to edit the code for it. This will also hopefully be helpful for any other homebrew, as well as experimenting.

Does someone know how to add a picture on the upper screen for gba games on a DSI ?
