TWiLight Menu++ by Robz8 - Play DS Games from SD Card on 3DS & more

Good program, been using it since last year.

 

It's been a heck of a journey watching this software grow and evolve over the years. Never would I have imagined it would go from being essentially a Mario Kart DS loader to what it is now. I'm super impressed by the work Rob and the others put into this (and also nds-bootstrap, of course!)

 

I love twilight menu and have been using it since it was TWLoader, but my god is TWiLight Menu++ a horrible and confusing name. I love the features though, it's probably got the most customization and functionality of any homebrew since the USB loaders for the Wii

 

Absolutely love TWiLightMenu ++ it plays every ds game I have tried perfectly except Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. Hopefully one day it will work and we will all get to play its awesomeness.

 

Great program. I first heard about it and needed to use it when the Ni No Kuni fan translation came out. Would probably have never experienced that game otherwise.

 

one of the best ds loaders for the 3ds IMO
i use this thing almost every day, 0 regrets, love it with all my heart
gr8 job @Robz8

 

Is this better than flash carts? I mean, Super DSTWO was kinda my most idolized flash cart I ever had despite playing over $40 for it. Having most of them break or just not work on me.

• acekard 2i
• ace 3DS
• some r4i

What if I just want to play my DS carts/roms, but with enhancements like cheats or save states. Is it good, or should I just buy another flashcart?

 

But can it run Golden Sun DD?

 

Probably no.
Not for as long as cloneboot isn't fixed.

 

And this cloneboot is for flash carts or 3DS?

 

One of the highlight Applications for the 3DS, in my opinion, with responsive troubleshooting in its GBATemp Thread; there are not a few of my own questions there being answered.

Aside from this I also recommend other Applications created by the same Developer, all of which I use in my own New 3DS XL USA:

• The 3DSBank, for creating new 3DS Menus to overcome the 300 Title Limit; I'm using this to get 600+ in.
  
• The NDS Forwarder to highlight some NDS titles running on TWiLight Menu++ on your 3DS Menu, with a maximum limit of 40 as they install as DSiWare.

I'll always be indebted to the great work put in as I continue to gain hours of fun on my Nintendo Handheld.

 

Great project, super useful.

 

Nice, but still many games not boot

 

Flashcards are still the golden standard if you want a "it just works" experience. Compatibility isn't as good with nds-bootstrap yet and you can make some features (TWL clock speed + sound/mic frequency to 48khz) work with flashcards too (Using one of Apache Thunder's launchers). If nds-bootstrap ever get a working DSi mode, then it might be worth messing with it. Otherwise, if you already have a flashcard then you don't need this IMO.

 

It's about time this makes the front page! This project is incredible, and easily one of the best I've ever seen and used from this site. @Robz8 is the man!

 

Thanks, that clears up a lot of stuff besides the things you was naming. (Since I don't know much about Apache thunder or bootstrap.) Though my next question would be where to find a good flash cart for my 3DS. All the ones I gotten seam to either stop working, don't fit in the cart slot properly (I had to use folded paper in line with the cart to get it to work) or just seem to break easily. Which is why I kinda gave up buying them years ago.

As much as I still want a Super DSTWO for all those features, I don't know if is still the most expensive one. $40 was high compared to other options.

 

Love TWiLight Menu. Love Robz8. always online supporting people & helping out!

 

For downloadplay.

It doesn't work with ndsbootstrap yet.
So no mariokart ds downloadplay for example.

Flashcards support it.
Twilightmenu / ndsbootstrap not.
