Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

• Flashcard
• DSi
• 3DS

What's new?

• With a video player (tuna-viDS) being bundled, TWLMenu++ now has a feature to view image files as well!

  • .bmp, .gif, and .png files are supported.
  • Trying to load an image containing a width larger than 256px and/or height larger than 192px will be displayed as a black screen instead.
  • Listen to the menu music from Nintendo DSi Camera while viewing the image!

  • The BL2CK loader is now used.

• DSi-based themes: A non-ADPCM .wav file contained in a custom skin should now be read properly.
• Fixed not booting via hiyaCFW, depending on the SysNAND Region/Launcher settings.
• Other minor fixes.

Known bugs

• Trying to launch a title stored on an Acekard 2(i) with Slot-1 microSD access enabled will still crash on white screens.

• Flashcard
• DSi
• 3DS

What's new?

• Added AP-fixes for Inazuma Eleven 3 and Ni no Kuni (Spanish translations).
• nds-bootstrap-hb's bootloader is now directly loaded, eliminating the middleman, so booting old DS homebrew is now 2 seconds faster!
  • Currently only applies to DSi-based themes and the DS Classic Menu, the latter of which pre-loads the homebrew's ARM9 binary for a slightly faster boot.
• The Direct boot setting has been removed for console SD users.
  • Pre-2009 DS homebrew will now always use nds-bootstrap, and 2009 or later homebrew will use nds-bootstrap if either DS mode or a RAM disk is set.
• For homebrew with large ARM9 binaries (ex. SM64DSi), all per-game settings except Language and Region are now hidden.
• With FastVideoDS still to come in the future, an old obscure video player, tuna-viDS (by @chishm), has been added for Xvid (.avi) video playback!
  • See this guide for how to convert a video, starting from Step 2.
• SNEmulDS has been reverted to the legacy pre-TGDS build to work around a few bugs.
  • As the TGDS build is still bundled, you can switch to it by setting NEW_SNES_EMU_VER to 1 in sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/settings.ini.
• The VRAM mode setting can now be changed for when running NTR games in DSi mode.

v24.9.1 (hotfix)

Includes nds-bootstrap v0.58.1

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

• Flashcard
• DSi
• 3DS

Bug fix

• Fixed TWLMenu++ not starting via hiyaCFW, by having Unlaunch start it instead. (For real, this time.)
  • It is still not recommended to have hiyaCFW autostart TWLMenu++, as it takes more time than usual. If you're looking to autoboot TWLMenu++, then set NO BUTTON to TWiLight Menu++ (boot.nds) in Unlaunch options.

Improvement

• @Epicpkmn11 and various: Improved translations.

Bug fixes

  • This is achieved by implementing a custom sleep mode handler, as the one in libnds is bugged.
• Fixed another long-standing bug where a certain area of RAM gets cleared while using Memory Pit.
  • This allows the complete font set to be loaded without issues in Memory Pit.
• @lifehackerhansol: The flashcard kernel (Wood, in this case) now uses the correct save file extension (being .sav instead of .nds.sav).
• The brightness level on DS lite no longer self-changes while using the flashcard kernel (Wood, in this case) to run games!
• Fixed AP warning not shown for Mario & Luigi RPG: Siganui Partner (Korea), if AP-fix doesn't exist.
