Gaming Installing roms on DSi Menu?

[Wooaw2005]

I have got TWiLight Menu++ but I would like to install my roms on the main DSi menu for convenience

Could anyone tell me how (if possible)?

Not Possible.
TWiLight Menu++ was made for this purpose so it does indeed have this ability.
Not the DSi menu though

If by that you mean commercial games, the issue is still the same as ever - you need a virtualizer like nds-bootstrap to translate slot-1 reads to a file on SD (not to mention any reasonable selection commercial games wouldn't really fit in twlnand)

It may be possible to run physical SD game roms thorugh forwarders, but you wouldn't be "installing roms" then

Use edo9300’s DS Forwarder maker.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ds-rom-forwarders-for-hiyacfw.520128/

It uses a special homebrew app that allows itself to be changed by the “forwarder creator”. Simply use any DS rom on this app, the new title & icon will be changed, select the nds-bootstrap & rom location, and you’re good to go.
It will also save some loading time, considering TWiLight can take a while to load on some SD cards.

Yeah, that's really cool!
But will it load my .SAVs?
It would be really cool if it could!

Yeah, it will. It's just a forwarder that forwards to a .nds rom.

ight sry for the amount of updates but apparently when i use nds-bootstrap-hb-release it doesnt freeze (or something idk what its doing oof). it just says "creating save file" and then "done" followed by a white screen. i assume its done and press the power button, but it still aint on the dsi menu... is there something im doing wrongly? sorry and thanks
