#### Why does my 3DS 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 32 KB cluster/allocation size
|
|
- If that also doesn't work, try a different SD card
|
|
|
|
#### Where is the Acekard/Wood UI theme?
|
|
The Acekard (also called Wood UI) theme was removed due to its buggy behavior and causing SD card corruption. Please wait for a fix. Progress for the return of this theme can be found in [this PR](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/pull/1109).
|
|
|
|
#### 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 DS game from SD card?
|
|
See [Why do I get a white screen when trying to load a game from SD card?](../nds-bootstrap/faq?faq=why-do-i-get-a-white-screen-when-trying-to-load-a-game-from-sd-card) on the nds-bootstrap FAQ page.
|
|
|
|
#### 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](https://gbatemp.net/threads/deadskullzjrs-flashcart-cheat-databases.488711/).
|
|
- On the 3DS, this database is available in the Universal-Updater app as "NDS Cheat Databases." This will automatically install it to the required location.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use [r4cce](http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA013928/soft_en.html) 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. If there are no applicable images, screenshots taken by nds-bootstrap will be used instead.
|
|
|
|
- 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](https://tinypng.com) to reduce the size
|
|
|
|
#### How do I get games?
|
|
You can download homebrew games from [Universal-DB](https://db.universal-team.net/ds) and [GameBrew](https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/List_of_all_DS_homebrew#Games). To get dumps of your retail games:
|
|
- On DS you can use [GodMode9i](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/GodMode9i/releases) to dump your GBA games and, if you have a Slot-2 flashcart, DS games. If you only have a Slot-1 flashcard and would like to dump a DS game, you can use [Wooddumper](https://digiex.net/attachments/wooddumper_r89-zip.14735/), which requires a Wi-Fi connection compatible with the DS, as well as an FTP client on a separate device to receive the ROM
|
|
- On DSi you can use [GodMode9i](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/GodMode9i/releases) to dump your DS games and DSiWare
|
|
- On 3DS you can use [GodMode9](https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases) 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](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/GodMode9i/releases) on DSi and 3DS or [Checkpoint](https://github.com/FlagBrew/Checkpoint/releases) on 3DS.
|
|
|
|
#### How do I change TWiLight Menu++'s language?
|
|
1. Open TWiLight Menu++ settings, you can do this by holding <kbd>SELECT</kbd> while loading TWiLight Menu++
|
|
1. Press <kbd class="l">L</kbd> or <kbd class="face">Y</kbd> once (on flashcard/3DS) or twice (on DSi)
|
|
1. 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).
|
|
|
|
#### What systems does TWiLight Menu++ support?
|
|
See [List of Systems Supported by TWiLight Menu++](../ds-index/emulators#list-of-supported-systems-by-twilight-menu).
|
|
|
|
#### 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.
