A Donor ROM can be set using **TW**i**L**ight Menu++.
- **Flashcards in DS mode:** The few supported DSi-Exclusive/DSiWare titles will require a DSi-Enhanced ROM set as a Donor ROM
- **DSiWarehax:** As both DSi-Enhanced games and (most) DSi-Exclusive/DSiWare games contain different MBK settings from each other, DSi-Enhanced games will not boot in DSi mode without a Donor ROM. By setting a DSi-Exclusive/DSiWare title as a Donor ROM, DSi-Enhanced games will be able to run within the MBK settings set by the DSiWare title the exploit is used on
- On DSi, if **TW**i**L**ight Menu++ detects no Donor ROM is set, *Nintendo DSi Sound* and/or a valid exploited title you've launched will automatically be set as Donor ROM(s)
- **CycloDS iEvolution:** Same case with DSiWarehax, but DSi-Exclusive/DSiWare titles will require a DSi-Enhanced game set as a Donor ROM, instead of the other way around
#### What is the best Donor ROM?
There is no *best* one to use.
If you're a DSiWarehax user, it is preferred to set an SDK5 ROM containing a sub-version higher than 0. However, if you have no existing DSiWare ROM, you can dump a ROM of *Nintendo DSi Sound* (SDK5.0) using GodMode9**i**, and set DSi Sound as a Donor ROM.
If you own a 3DS console though, it is preferable to dump the DS WiFi Settings ROM (SDK5.5) using GodMode9, and instead, set DS WiFi Settings as a Donor ROM, as doing so allows sleep mode to be activated in DSiWare without waiting 9 seconds.
There is no *best* one to use. Most ROMs of TWL titles can be set as a Donor ROM.
Examples:
- **DSiWarehax on DSi:** *Nintendo DSi Sound* and/or a valid exploited title you've launched will automatically be set as Donor ROM(s), if one hasn't been set yet.
- **DSiWarehax on 3DS:** Dump the DS WiFi Settings ROM (SDK5.5) using GodMode9, and set it as a Donor ROM.
#### Why can't I set a Donor ROM?
If there's a title requiring a Donor ROM, and the ROM TWLMenu++ stated to find doesn't show the option to set it as one (provided you've scrolled down), then find another ROM to set as a donor.
