TwilightMenu++ old homebrew not working

[anyzunstudios]

Hello everyone!

I’m trying to boot an old homebrew made with DS Game Maker on my DSi using twilight menu++, but it hangs once I try to load it. Is there any way to make it work? Running the homebrew through hb-menu using unlaunch on my DSi doesn’t work either. It only works on my R4 clone flashcard.

Thanks in advance!

If it works with the r4 that you already own, what's the point of getting so upset because it doesn't work from the SD slot of the DSi? "Enough is as good as a feast."

You need to set the game loader to Unlaunch to load games made with DSGM.

Try to launch your homebrew with the 0.4.1 version of hbmenu through TWL++, you'll fint it here in the download archive :

Hey, I'm having a problem with twilight menu ++ on my DSI, whenever I boot it up, the top screen just turns off, the top screen works fine when I am not using twilight menu ++, and suggestions?

Oldest release on github is 0.5.0, will it work too? Thanks!

Press Y button to open the per-game settings menu, and you'll see the option.

There’s only 2 options: language and region settings

You need to use your DSi, not your flashcard.
Make sure you selected your homebrew before pressing Y as well.

Yeah! I can confirm that others homebrew apps made with newer devkitpro releases, TwilightMenu++ shows all the options, but on old homebrews, there’s only 2 options available (like this one).

I’m booting TwilightMenu++ from Unlaunch (I have a shortcut: holding B while DSi powers up to boot it)

Please post a link to the homebrew.

You can find the 0.4.1 on gamebrew (the link I left in my last post) for the 0.5.0, I can't say, I don't use this version

Here it is:
NDS FILE

It's an example from DSGameMaker that loads backgrounds and sprites from NitroFS

BTW it seems to work with TwilightMenu++ on a flashcard, but not from DSi SD card.

So maybe you need to create a ram disk :
