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

[satel]

You can try running it from the ROM menu.

ok i will do so after i have installed TWiLight Menu which i'm trying to do now. by the way how is the compatibility for booting DS games without Flash Card ? is Flash Card still the best option ? i have R4i 3DS

1. Extract the "_nds" folder, and the "boot_fc.nds" file, to the flashcard's microSD Card root. Also make a copy of "boot_fc.nds", and rename the copy to "boot.nds".

but the TWilightmenu.zip already contains a boot.nds do i still need to rename the boot_fc.nds ??

Yes. Delete the original "boot.nds" first.

2. 3DS/2DS: Put this in "fat:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini":

ok sorry for the noob question where exactly do you mean by fat:/ ? ? do you mean on the root of the n3d's micro sd card ?

That would be "sd:/".
"fat:/" is the root of the flashcard's microSD.

Yes.

mainmenu.srldr not found error

mainmenu.srldr not found error

You mean "main.srldr" not found.
Is "main.srldr" in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu"?
If you mean on the flashcard, is it in "fat:/_nds/TWiLightMenu".

Try booting "boot_fc.nds" using Moonshell2 (the middle icon in the flashcard menu).

does this mean i need to use Moonshill2 all the time instead of TWlightMenu ?

You're still going to use TWiLight Menu++. Just that if "boot_fc.nds" works properly through Moonshell2, then use that to boot it.

It's only asking for the GBA BIOS file for GBARunner2.
Place it in the flashcard root, as "bios.bin".
