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

No dice. You might want to look into compatibility with cheats in your next nds-bootstrap update. I'll PM you more info on my setup.

Unfortunately, I never worked on the cheat handler, so I wouldn't know where to start.

The wierd thing is I have over 200 ds games on my 3ds using twighlight. I have tested round about 30 using cheats and the cheats work on all of them. So I have zero Idea why cheats aren't working for you.

I read online that DeadSkullzJr.'s cheat database doesn't work. If it helps, I deleted all games but the ones I'm playing in that database, and kept only the cheats I would be using. Is that a problem?

Use the twighlight menu updater on page one of this thread to download cheats for your games. Thats what I did and haven't had any issues so far.

This fixed 2 of my games, but the one I really need cheats for still isn't working.
The game is LostMagic (US) [AM9E]. @Robz8 can you test this game and find out what the problem is? You too, @AmandaRose.

I can give it a go for you in a few hours as not at home at the moment.

I’ve never had any trouble applying cheats provided I used a clean rom. I assume romhacks alter addresses.

I remember some Pokémon and Mario Kart Cheats are not working (correctly).
(and maybe only on the DSi)
But it was maybe fixed with the last Database Build.

Thank you.

@Robz8 @AmandaRose Well?

@Robz8 @AmandaRose Well?

Please wait for the results.

Thanks, as usual, @Robz8 !

I'm running TWLMenu++ 16.1 just using the flashcard, and it's only SMS games that have a problem. It behaves the same on my DSi and DS Lite.

I downgraded the flashcard to TWLMenu++ 16.0, and that fixed the issue. I played around a bit with the differences between 16.0 and 16.1, and I found that if I set up 16.1 (I verified the SMS games issue still existed), and then replaced the single file _nds/TWiLightMenu/dsimenu.srldr with the 16.0 version, the SMS issue is fixed. However, YSMenu support when B4DS is turned off is broken, which worked fine on 16.1 before I replaced that file - I get the error message "Error! Flashcard may not be supported. Flashcard name: DSTT DLDI(boyakkey ver.) Press B to return.".

I've got another make of flashcard on its way in the post. I'll see if get better SMS results with that. :-)

Thanks again for all your amazing work!

Just a quick update on the issue I was seeing (menu freezes on game launch) when starting Gamegear and SMS games, running TWLMenu++ 16.1 from a R4SDHC (R4iSDHC dot com card) flashcard. I've found that changing the TWLMenu++ refresh rate from 60hz fixes the issue, so now I have YSMenu support and SMS/GG games working. :-) Thanks again to @Robz8 !

@Robz8 @AmandaRose Well?

What is wrong with you? Have some manners. These people aren’t yours servants and even if they were you shouldn’t speak to them like that.

It's not possibvle to search through a thread here so I don't know if this was asked before, but why was the Acekard/Wood theme removed? That was my favorite UI to use

It contained bugs that would corrupt the SD card.

Is there a button combo to get back to the games selection screen using twilight menu from a flashcard i know holding d pad down B and L and R works when using twilight menu from sd but its not working from my flashcard?

The key combo is different, depending on your flashcard and kernel.

@Robz8 The codes just suddenly started working yesterday afternoon (EST). The only change I made was to use the Updater to install the latest release of nds-bootstrap, then switch to it in the game settings. This means 2 things: Firstly, that the 'latest' release available on the DS-Homebrew Github (linked to in the OP) isn't actually the latest, but the one at /RocketRobz/TwiLightMenu-update is newer. That, and that the latest nds-bootstrap nightly has broken cheat compatibility with LostMagic, can be drawn from this.

Edit: Also, it can be deduced that the version of nds-bootstrap hosted on DS-Homebrew also has broken cheat compatibility with most games, if not all.

I know 32x probably wont work but what about sega CD games?

I have no idea how to get those working in PicoDriveTWL.

Making a post here after being a long time user of your work gotta say I love the progress made since I last posted. However, I've been curious about a childhood game I used to play Surf's Up and noticed it was still in the testing queue. Is there a line for those games or is there anyway for me to get them working? I would play on an emulator but the original controls are so much better for touchscreen oriented games such as this one. If there is a way to get this game working as well as others in that list please let me know. Although I understand if not.
