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

[Peeteris]

v25.0.1 (hotfix)

Bug fixes​

• Fixed music in `.raw` format from custom skins of DSi-based themes not playing.
• The image viewer now reads the SD removal detection setting.

Do you plan on fixing backlight bug?
It's really game breaking for flashcard users on DS lite ar games always start on lowest brightness, because it doesn't recognize 512, 1024 as brightness values in _wfwd\backligt.ini

I (currently) have no idea how to fix it.

 

[Peeteris]

This implies something weird is going on with the backlight math, because as per http://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm#dspowermanagementdevice it should indeed just be 0,1,2,3.

Dirty fix is to probably just do log2((x/128)), or fix whatever happened to that int at 0x02003000.

EDIT: this math is wrong. I based this with the assumption that the above values posted by @Peeteris is correct, however, the actual values set are the following:
3=1024, 2=768, 1=512, 0=256.
So the math should actually be (x/256)-1.

Hey, lifehackerhansol
Could you maybe help RocketRobz with the solution?
Maybe for some donations?

I don't take donations.

I'll be looking at it though. I am a member of the project after all. For now I've opened an issue: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/issues/1968

Been very long time since I have posted in this great thread, I hope you & your family are all doing well.
I have a question regarding soft reset on dsi xl when playing dsiware games does it work? On n3ds I think it works by pressing R,L,Down +Select but not on dsi xl.

Yes, it does work in DSiWare games. Also, to open the in-game menu (which does work on DSi XL) does not require the R button.

for me it only works on ds games not dsiware games!! What do you think might be the issue here?

You're either using an outdated TWLMenu++ & nds-bootstrap, or the DSiWare booter is set to Unlaunch in TWLMenu++ Settings, and needs to be changed to nds-bootstrap.

this is it, thanks very much

Fixed not booting via hiyaCFW, depending on the `SysNAND Region`/`Launcher` settings.

For some reason this still doesn't work fully as it's supposed to, i think..
On my DSi XL, with latest TWilightMenu version installed, changing the "sysnand region" to Auto (HiyaCFW only), and "sysnand launcher" to None. When pressing "b" when still in the R4 initial menu (using the R4 Original theme), with those settings it takes me to SDNAND. But when i reboot the system those 2 settings (sysnand region & launcher) they don't save & change back to the way they were before, for some reason..

Also from my tests, when using the DSi theme & with the aforementioned sysnand region & launcher settings, when pressing "select" and DSiMenu, it takes me to sysnand and not sdnand.
I hope i'm not missing something very obvious, but i have tried to make it work and the situation i described above is the only time it booted to SDNand for me.

 

[CoolMe]

Also, i didn't know TWilightMenu had a title limit (in a given folder), it's around 340 i think. Yesterday i transfered some nds files and when i booted the system they didn't show up. After some back and forth checking, to make sure they weren't hidden files, or some other sd card problem etc. Same result. Until i read somewhere online that there's a title limit. So i split the nds rom folder into 2, both with their saves folder. And then they appeared.

I get random crashes playing Blue Dragon Awakened Shadow in DSi mode, is this game blacklisted or should I change to DS mode? In DSi mode it feels less lag but I don't understand why it crashes constantly.

Sounds like the AP-patch isn't applied. Try DS mode with TWL clock speed enabled.

how do I edit a game name

Make a custom banner for the game. (Needs to be a full banner, not just an image)

 

[nemmixx]

unrelated to the question i asked before this one, but is it fine if i uninstall memory pit (i have unlaunch installed) so i can view sd card photos? or do i need it (also, i have a dsi and tell me how do i do uninstall)

 

[totakeke95]

@RocketRobz Doesn't work, it gets stuck on a black screen when pressing continue or new game. I 've been playing in DS mode and works fine but when I try to change it to DSi mode or 133 TWL speed it crashes.
I've the game already patched with APfix, game is european version (Spain)
EDIT

Strange case doing tests.
If I manually patch APfix the game starts normally at speed 133 TWL but after a while it crash. However if i dont apply APfix to it and it does it automatically via ndsbootstrap it also starts normally too but when I press continue or new game nothing happens, it permantly stays in main game menu. I dont really know where is the problem, if is the AP patch or is a matter of compatibility between NTR/TWL.

That's fine, recommended even. It's explained at the end of the installing Unlaunch page.

• Delete the sd:/private/ds/app/484E494A/pit.bin file from your SD card
  • If tip.bin still exists, then rename it back to pit.bin
• You can now restore the DCIM folder that was on the root of your SD card, if this folder existed

I don't see the rotating cubes in the 3ds theme for DSi and I have downloaded the latest version of twilight menu
