Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

What's new?

  • To fully restore the look of the DSi Menu, the default fallback skin for the DSi theme is now the light skin instead of the dark one.
    • This was done because of some users apparently having bad first impressions with TWLMenu++ on DSi, and in addition, would end up making forwarders for the original DSi Menu (along with optionally installing hiyaCFW, a DSi CFW which is not needed nowadays).
    • You can still download the dark skin here: https://skins.ds-homebrew.com/nintendo-dsi/default-dark
      • In the dark.7z file, put the dark folder in sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/dsimenu/themes/, then open TWLMenu++ Settings, select Theme (set to Nintendo DSi), press A, then select dark.

Improvement

  • @lifehackerhansol: Updated GMP-Z003 autoboot to flashcard-bootstrap v1.2.3, with an open-source DLDI.

Bug fix

  • Fixed the DS/DSi splash jingle not playing and either no or glitched sound playing in place.

Known bug (as of v25.9.5)

  • Autobooting does not work on timebombed flashcards, so you'll need to download v25.9.4, and get the autoboot files from there.

What's new?

You've asked, we listened, and we've finally implemented a feature thought to be impossible!
Previously, we've added support for running DSiWare on DS via nds-bootstrap, and now, we've added support for running 3DS games on DSi, via 3ds-bootstrap!

Please note that 3ds-bootstrap is not available separately, and is in a beta state, so very few games are known to work.
Because we can't do all the testing ourselves, we ask you, our community, to test out any 3DS games you have and let us know if they boot or not, in order for us to make any improvements!
Remember to enable Logging in the nds-bootstrap page of TWiLight Menu++ Settings, so we get a better idea of how to improve things!

Some games that are known to work are:

  • HarmoKnight
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
  • Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
  • Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
  • Mighty Switch Force
  • New Super Mario Bros. 2
  • Pokemon Rumble Blast
  • Super Mario 3D Land (pictured on the right)
  • Style Savvy: Trendsetters
  • Style Savvy: Styling Star (pictured on the left)
