For more FAQs, please visit the GBAtemp thread. {:.alert .alert-info}

Why does my 3DS / 2DS get stuck on black screens, crash, power off, etc when launching TWiLight Menu++?

TWL_FIRM might've somehow got corrupted. Follow this guide to fix the issue: https://3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting#dsi--ds-functionality-is-broken-after-completing-the-guide

How do I fix getting a white screen when booting TWiLight Menu++?

  • First, try putting the console in sleep mode (e.g. closing the console's lid, or pressing the sleep button on the O2DS), then wake up the console from it
  • If that doesn't work, format your SD card to FAT32 with 32KB cluster/allocation size
  • If that also doesn't work, try a different SD card

How do I fix TWiLight Menu++ restarting or giving a Guru Meditation Error when launching a game?

Go into TWLMenu++ Settings, and disable Update recently played list.

Why do I get a white screen when trying to load a game from SD Card?

  • First, check the nds-bootstrap compatibility list and make sure your game is compatible
  • Try with all cheats disabled for that game as some cheats are not compatible with nds-bootstrap at the moment, you can use L to disable all cheats for a game
  • If the game you're trying to launch is a DSi Enhanced game, then make sure that TWiLight Menu++ is set to use DS Mode
  • If it worked before, delete the fatTable and patchOffsetCache folders in sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/

How do I use cheats?

You need to have a cheat DB in the form of a usrcheat.dat file in the sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/extras/ folder. The most updated cheat database is DeadSkullzJr's. Alternatively, you can use r4cce to create your own cheat DB.

How do I show a custom picture on the top screen of the DSi theme?

A random .png image in sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/dsimenu/photos/ will be shown each time the menu is loaded.

  • The images(s) must be no bigger than 208x156
  • If you have errors, it's most likely an error with the image size. Please use tinypng to reduce the size

How do I get games?

You can download homebrew games from Universal-DB and GameBrew. To get dumps of your retail games:

  • On DS you can use GodMode9i to dump your GBA games and, if you have a Slot-2 flashcard, DS games
  • On DSi you can use GodMode9i to dump your DS games and DSiWare
  • On 3DS you can use GodMode9 to dump your DS games, DSiWare, and Virtual Console titles

Can I get the save files from my game cards onto my SD card or vice versa?

Yes, you can use GodMode9i on DSi and 3DS or Checkpoint on 3DS.

How do I change TWiLight Menu++'s language?

  1. Open TWiLight Menu++ settings, you can do this by holding SELECT while loading TWiLight Menu++
  2. Press L or Y once (on flashcard / 3DS) or twice (on DSi)
  3. Change the first option until you see the language you want, then exit settings
    • You may also want to change the next two options as they control the language of DS games and their titles in TWiLight Menu++

Is this a DS(i) emulator?

No, this is not an emulator. The menu and DS games (loaded via nds-bootstrap) are ran natively in the console's DS/DSi mode. The only consoles emulated are the past consoles, but partially for GBA (as some or all parts like graphics are ran natively).

Why isn't touch input working on sudokuhax?

Depending on the save file of sudokuhax, the touch screen inputs may not work.

Can The Biggest Loser boot TWiLight Menu++?

No. As The Biggest Loser is a Slot-1 game, and not a DSiWare game, SD access is disabled when running Slot-1 cards.
