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

[.Darky]

Does async prefetch turned off fix it?

How am I supposed to do that?

EDIT: The problem is that after starting a new game it will just loop endlessly to the title screen.

Press select on the game in DSiMenu++, then scroll 'til you see the option.

Sounds like an AP issue. Try checking if there's an AP patch in the AP patch preservation thread.

Hello, its me again. Recently updated to version 6.0.0, and here's the results of my tests with the ROMs i played. Remember i'm using an Old 3DS and Class 10 Ultra SanDisk Micro SD 32GB.
-Pokémon Platinum (U) still works flawlessly. Got to the first Galactic Admin battle, and the "pixel" effect on the "G" in the battle transition works on DSiMenu++ v6.0.0. I remember emulators like DeSmuME couldn't display this visual effect. Didn't tested Diamond or Pearl, but i guess its safe to say they also work flawlessly.
-Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver (U) - both work. DSiMenu++ can bypass the initial black screen at the introdution on Clean ROMs, but my SoulSilver ROM crashed in an Wild Battle (black screen after transiction, but music still playing). I'm trying the HG (Xenophobia) ROM now, still early in the game, just finished first rival battle, still no crashes. But here's something: HG and SS have the same behavior of BW1 and BW2, so they just lang a little to load new graphics. This happens while transition to another area of the map, when the game starts a new wild battle, when the grass animation appears (it should appear alongside of the black bar, but it appear before, like in D/P games), and when trainers release they Pokémon in battle.
I'll talk about the VRAM Boost function later...
-Generation 5 Pokémon are still the same. With AP patch and prefetch off, they work, but hang to load the graphics. Same thing as in v5.5.1.
-Bug found in v6.0.0-
After soft-reseting to go back to DSi Menu, icons are wrong or glitched. Normal NDS icons will all be the same icon (like Pokémon HG with Platinum's icon too), and Pokémon White 2 always having a glitched icon animation, like it was corrupted. Moving the cursor to the end of the list will quickly fix it, but its something that never happened in v5.5.1.

-About the VRAM Boost feature-
*On Pokémon HeartGold: Default, of On, it didn't do anything, still hangs to load graphics. Changing the clock speed also doesn't do anything.
*On Pokémon White 1 and White 2: VRAM Boost ON + TWL clock speed actually made the lag even worse. VRAM Boost ON + Default clock speed seens to be the best option. Maybe its me, but its slightly faster to load the graphics, its a very small increase.

Does this VRAM Boost consumes more batery life? How does this work?
Anyway. These are the results of my tests. I hope you find these info useful.

I tried PortalDS and DSCraft with the latest hb-bootstrap, booting with unlaunch. As expected the game works, but no touchscreen is enabled. To enable it I need to start DSiMenu++ with DSiWareHax.

Hello. I was trying to find maybe a .bmp or .png image to change the wallpaper of the DSi but I haven't had any success.
I found these pictures so you can understand what I'm talking about.
Default wallpaper: (www deskgram org/p/1811097487742999967_1635806373)
Custom wallpaper: (www deskgram org/p/1829437858650510498_7130765569)
May you help me? Thanks

Sure. In the path \_nds\dsimenuplusplus, replace photo.bmp with a bmp image of the same resolution. 208x156. If that image file doesn't already exist, create it.

Is there a patch that can fix multiplayer problems with DSiMenu++?
Like, If "New Super Mario Bros" doesn't work with multiplayer can a patch just, fix the problem?

No. The issue is on nds-bootstrap's side.
Also, card-to-card multiplayer should still work.

Thanks a lot! It worked! That image file didn't exist btw.
(That wallpaper kills me lmao)

Very nice I like it a lot.

 

[Der_Blockbuster]

Let me ask here aswell, does someone know about the issue with local multiplayer ? Aka DS Download Play.
Doesn't work with the current iteration.

The dev of the app quite literally just answered your question 4 posts above yours lol.

 

[t0w3l]

sometimes the sound glitches with me, either rapidly going to max volume out of nowhere (in Gen 5 Pokemon) or turning the sound off (Pokemon HGSS)

 

[Raulix]

Huh, let me guess. Card-to-card multiplayer works if both persons have DSiMenu++? I tested that with my brothers DSi and It doesn't work.

Club Penguin Elite Penguin Force freezes when trying to Host/Join.
Super Mario 64 DS just softlocks.
Kirby Super Star Ultra doesn't work either.
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 says "Communication Error"

Also I have other things to say:
Some games have glitched audio or the audio glitch when lowering down the volume.
Games Icons repeat themselves when rebooting.
I hope that DS Download Play is going to be a thing in DSiMenu++
And well, other games softlock when trying to host card-to-card multiplayer or ds download.

Card-to-Card multiplayer does not involve DS Download Play. It involves both people running the same ROM or cart.

Seems like it. It sucks since I can't patch the translated rom with the AP nor the AP patched rom with the translation.

What do you mean?
Why should you not be able to?
