TWiLight Menu++ v10.0.0 released, now includes B4DS for all DLDI-enabled cards

top-screen-twilight-alt2-colored-centered-png.174328

If you have ever been interested in running Nintendo DS games from your 3DS or DSi without a flashcard then you may have already heard about @Robz8's open-source menu replacement, emulator frontend and backup loader called TWiLight Menu++. However, it looks like the homebrew developer wants old and obsolete flashcard owners to enjoy a piece of the action too, as a new update released just today makes the tool able to launch itself and run commercial NDS ROMs on any DLDI-capable card, even those which never supported backup loading in the first place!

You've heard that right, TWiLight Menu++ v10.0.0 bumps its included nds-bootstrap version (aka the homebrew back-end used as a loader) to 0.25.2, which now also features B4DS - a variant of the said loader able to run on flashcards as well as homebrew-only devices. The requirements are simple: all your card needs is either a built-in DLDI driver or patch (and, unless yours is very archaic, it likely has one or the other!). This means you are now able to run NDS backups even on devices such as the Datel Games 'n Music, Action Replay DS Media Edition, MAX Media Dock and other similar cards which had no backup loading support whatsoever! But it doesn't stop there: TWiLight Menu++ has been able to autoboot on some cards for a while now, however, this update can make it behave effectively like a kernel replacement, also allowing it to bypass pesky timebombs in the process. B4DS lets you change your system's default language, nds-bootstrap build and different save slots on a per-game basis too, which can prove especially useful if you own an imported DS that doesn't let you select your preferred language or if a game only lets you use one save file and you share your console with somebody else.

However, there is a catch: B4DS is still rather new and doesn't support many commercial ROMs yet. Some popular games are known to work, like Mario Party DS, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Pokèmon DP/HGSS, Mario Kart DS, Chrono Trigger and Wario Ware D.I.Y., but do not expect every game to work out of the box yet.

Not a flashcard fan? No worries. This version also comes with fixes for three games (SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis, Ultimate Mortal Kombat and The World Ends With You) and widescreen improvements thanks to @Vague Rant's contributions. If you've been out of the loop, AP patches began being included since version 9.1.2 and, starting from v9.5.0, almost every AP-protected game has a built-in patch, with Kirby Mass Attack and Imagine Resort Owner being the only two exceptions.

For the curious, here is the official changelog and the list of widescreen-suppoted games:
Includes nds-bootstrap v0.25.2.

What's new?

  • B4DS (nds-bootstrap for flashcards) is now included!
    (May not work for Acekard theme.)
  • B4DS users can now change the language, save number, and nds-bootstrap build in per-game settings!
  • Removed temp file creation for B4DS, as it's no longer needed.
  • Settings: Page switch text is now shown on bottom screen.
  • Updated GBARunner2 to this build.
Improvement

  • (@vaguerant) Widescreen cheats now use the 199A value, instead of 1999.
    (All but GRID)
You no longer need to hold L for these games to work

  • Ultimate Mortal Kombat
  • The World Ends With You

If you want to get TWiLight Menu++ v10.0.0 follow the instructions in the official thread linked below. Be sure to update both TWiLight Menu++ and nds-bootstrap if you had already installed an earlier version on your console!

What do you think about B4DS? Will you be using it on a piece of hardware you considered useless or long dead? Will it be able to revive old, abandoned and unsupported cards? Feel free to leave a post in this thread with your thoughts!

UPDATE: Version 10.0.1 has been released to address some issues and add extra options for flashcard autoboot users.
