That makes sense. Thank you! Does local trading work though, and will my Pokemon get flagged by Bank or Home if I trade from a DS ROM into another game? I just realized I can just trade Pokemon from HeartGold into my actual physical copy of Diamond if trading works... it'll be more inefficient, but that's something, at least. I read that PKSM also works, but I'm trying to make my transfers as "legitimate" as possible... it's kind of weird to think that way since I'm using a ROM anyway but still.
Yes, local trading works, and idk if it'll get flagged, since I never used Bank or Home.

As long as you didn't use cheats (that will flag the Pokémon in Home/Bank) to get the Pokémon there shouldn't be a difference between a Pokémon caught on a real cart vs TWLMenu. Pokémon Home/Bank can't tell the difference.

That's good to hear. I'll just go with that approach then. Thank you!

I'm glad I'll be able to get my Pokemon into Home then and all. Thank you!

I'm the only one with flickering screens (specially bottom one) when using twilight?
First I though it was my dsi.
But the I installed in my old 3ds and same happened.

The games and homebrew are alright, thought.

Have you tried using Recuva and/or PhotoRec?

Hmm. I can't seem to get Twilight Menu to launch the English launcher.dsi on my DSi LL. It just reboots to Unlaunch. It will launch the original Japanese (buncha zeros)02.app launcher perfectly fine. Is it looking for launcher.dsi in a particular folder? It's just in the root of the nand. (Starts and works perfectly from Unlaunch though. It's just annoying having a DSI Menu option in Twilight Menu that doesn't work.)

Have you tried setting DSiWare booter to Unlaunch in the per-game settings menu (opened by pressing Y button in TWLMenu++)?

v27.1.0: Earth Day Release
Includes nds-bootstrap v1.5.0 (GBAtemp thread)

As Earth Day is where we celebrate a green earth, this TWiLight Menu++ release aims to also be green, with a clean-looking R4 (and maybe GBC) theme!

What's new?​

  • Top screen of the R4 and GBC themes now uses the same font as the bottom screen!
  • Cursor in the R4 and GBC themes, as well as the Settings menu, has been replaced with highlighted text of your favorite color!
    • Does not affect the SEGA Saturn-themed settings menu.
  • Like the original R4 menu, selecting the music icon in the R4 theme now boots Moonshell!
    • Install your preferred Moonshell version, then place _moonshl.nds on the SD root.
    • Moonshell will run with TWL clock speed on DSi or 3DS consoles.
  • @mentusfentus: Cursor now moves smoothly in DS Classic Menu! (#2394)
  • @banjo2: Added widescreen support for CTGP Nitro v1.1.0.
  • When a Guru Mediation Error occurs, the master brightness is now cleared, in case if an error occurs with the screens fully white or black.
  • Various: Updated translations.

Bug fixes​

  • ESRB splash screen (disabled by default) now appears when launching a DS(i) game with the R4 or GBC theme!
  • Fixed game-skipping count when pressing Left/Right in the R4 or GBC theme.
