### Installing
|
|
1. Download the latest [`TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z`](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases/latest/download/TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z)
|
|
- If it does not download, see the [release page](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases/latest)
|
|
1. Open or extract `TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z`
|
|
1. Drag and drop the `_nds` folder to your flashcard's microSD card root
|
|
1. Drag and drop the `BOOT.NDS` file to your flashcard's microSD card root
|
|
1. Drag and drop the `roms` folder to your flashcard's microSD card root
|
|
1. If you already have save data, move your `.sav` files, which are in your DS ROM location, to a new folder called `saves`, which also goes in the DS ROM location
|
|
1. **DS Phat/Lite users:** If booting `BOOT.NDS` causes a white screen lock-up, then follow the below steps for autobooting, and try again
|
|
|
|
### Autobooting TWiLight Menu++
|
|
1. Open or extract `TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z`
|
|
1. Open the `Autoboot` -> `(your flashcard)` folders
|
|
1. Drag and drop the contents of the folder to the root of the flashcard's microSD card
|
|
- Skip this, if you don't see your flashcard
|
|
1. **DS Phat/Lite users:** Go to settings in the DS menu, and turn on auto-start, so your flashcard will start on boot
|
|
|
|
### To run games using your flashcard firmware (optional)
|
|
|
|
**Please note:**
|
|
- This only works if your flashcard is set to autoboot TWiLight Menu++. See above section for how to do so.
|
|
- Not all flashcards support running games in this fashion. If the below steps do not apply to your flashcard, you can skip this section.
|
|
- You'll lose the ability to use cheats when running games in this fashion. If you want to retain cheat functionality, please skip this section.
|
|

|
{% capture tab-loader %}
|
|
|
|
If your flashcart does not have a compatible loader for this section, choose the "YSMenu" tab.
|
|
{:.alert .alert-info}
|
|
|
|
1. Open or extract `TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z`
|
|
1. Open the `Flashcart Loader` -> `(your flashcard)` folders
|
|
- A README.txt file is present in the `Flashcart Loader` folder, to help find which flashcart loader is appropriate for your flashcard.
|
|
1. Drag and drop the contents of the folder to the root of the flashcard's microSD card
|
|
1. Open TWLMenu++ Settings, switch to `Games and Apps settings` page, and set `Game Loader` to `Kernel`, so the flashcard firmware will be used instead of nds-bootstrap
|
|
- Alternatively you may do this as a per-game setting by pressing `Y` on a selected game and changing the `Game Loader` option there
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture tab-loader %}
|
|
{% assign tab-loader = tab-loader | split: "////////" %}
|
|
|
|
{% capture tab-ysmenu %}
|
|
|
|
1. Please confirm that you have one of the below flashcarts:
|
|
- R4i-SDHC (r4i-sdhc.com)
|
|
- r4isdhc.com 2014+ cards (**not** .hk or .com.cn)
|
|
- R4i SDHC Upgrade Revolution
|
|
- R4DSiXL3D
|
|
- R4i Advance
|
|
- R4-IIIi
|
|
- R4 SDHC Revolution
|
|
- R4(i) Pocket
|
|
- R4i Gold (v1.4.1) (3DS)
|
|
- R4 Gold 3DS RTS (r4i-gold.com)
|
|
- R4xDS
|
|
- DSTT(i)
|
|
- DSONE SDHC & DSONEi (non-SDHC models are ***not*** supported)
|
|
- M3 DS Real
|
|
- M3i Zero (non-GMP-Z003 model)
|
|
- iTouchDS and iTouch2 (use the M3Real_M3iZero YSMenu files)
|
|
- R4(i)RTS (r4rts.com) (use the M3Real_M3iZero YSMenu files)
|
|
- R4 SDHC RTS (black cartridge) (r4isdhc.com) (use the M3Real_M3iZero YSMenu files)
|
|
1. Download [RetroGameFan's YSMenu](https://gbatemp.net/download/35737/).
|
|
1. Extract it to a folder on your computer. Navigate to the folder required for your flashcart.
|
|
1. Inside the folder, rename `TTMenu.dat` to `YSMenu.nds` if a `YSMenu.nds` file does not already exist
|
|
1. Copy the `TTMenu` folder and `YSMenu.nds` file to the root of your MicroSD card. **Do not** copy `TTMenu.dat` directly; this will break autobooting and YSMenu's soft reset
|
|
1. Open TWLMenu++ Settings, switch to `Games and Apps settings` page, and set `Game Loader` to `Kernel`, so the flashcard firmware will be used instead of nds-bootstrap
|
|
- Alternatively you may do this as a per-game setting by pressing `Y` on a selected game and changing the `Game Loader` option there
|
|
|
|
{% endcapture tab-ysmenu %}
|
|
{% assign tab-ysmenu = tab-ysmenu | split: "////////" %}
|
|
|
|
### Running games with your flashcart firmware
|
|
{% assign tabs = tab-loader | concat: tab-ysmenu %}
|
|
{% include tabs.html index=0 tabs=tabs %}
