---
### Installing
1. Download the latest [`TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z`](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases/latest/download/TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z)
1. Extract `TWiLightMenu-Flashcard.7z`
1. Copy the `_nds` folder to your flashcard's microSD card root
1. Copy the `BOOT.NDS` file to your flashcard's microSD card root
1. Copy 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, insert a DS Memory Expansion Pak, and try again
- **DSi / 3DS users:** Run TWLMenu++ on the console's SD card, and turn on `SCFG access in Slot-1` and set `Slot-1: Touch Mode` to `DSi Mode`
- This will let you use TWL clock speed and / or VRAM boost on your flashcard games, as well as both accessing the console's SD card, and running DSi-Enhanced / DSi-Exclusive / DSiWare games in DSi mode from your flashcard
### To run games using your flashcard firmware
1. Extract what's in `Flashcart Loader/(your flashcard)` to the root of the flashcard's microSD card
- If you done so, continue to step 3. If not, follow the steps below the flashcard list below
1. For these flashcards:

Install YSMenu from [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/)
- Make sure you have `YSMenu.nds` (renamed from `TTMenu.dat` if there isn't one) and the `TTMenu` folder on the flashcard microSD root
1. Set `Use nds-bootstrap` to `No`, so the flashcard firmware will be used instead of nds-bootstrap
### Autobooting TWiLight Menu++
1. Extract the content(s) of `Autoboot/(your flashcard)` to the root of the flashcard's microSD card
- Skip this, if you don't see your flashcard
1. ...
- **DS Phat / DS Lite users:** Go to settings in the DS menu, and turn on auto-start, so your flashcard will start on boot
- **DSi / 3DS users:** Run TWLMenu++ on the console's SD card, and turn on `Auto-start Slot-1`
