Yo don't need to install DSiWares using TwilightMenu++, you can launch them straight from it like any other NDS rom

That list only applies to DSiWare games in non DSi models, as they need extra patching since the og DS was not designed to run DSiWare games (so yeah this is like magic lol)

DSiWare games on DSi/3DS should be 100% compatible since it runs natively.

How do i do that

How do i do that

Open TWiLight Menu++, then browse to the DSiWare .nds file, and launch it.

@RocketRobz
I do not see Erthworm Jim in B4DS incompatibility list. Do you think that it could run on DS or RAM will be a problem (or other things) ? Thx.

 

[Driss]

Open TWiLight Menu++, then browse to the DSiWare .nds file, and launch it.

Is there a way to directly put them in the home menu ?

I believe you need to select a DSi-mode donor ROM beforehand.

Press Y on your dsiware title and then choose a DSI enhanced game such as sonic classic collection or the one you want.

Didn't work + when i press Y it only shows the game's info

I bought a DSi XL recently and all those DSi Enhanced / Exclusives (think I read that somewhere) sound interesting.

Fun fact: Sonic Classic Collection plays better on a DSi than a DS/DSL.

I thought you would have the option here.
Is your DSiware a .nds file ?
What you can try is to delete your _nds folder, redownload TWL++ and copy back to your SD the untouched _nds folder from the archive. Try to launch again a DSiware title, it should ask you to select the donor rom at boot.

EDIT : alternatively you can add this line to your nds-bootstrap.ini located in the _nds folder (adapt to your config) :

DONORTWL_NDS_PATH = fat:/Roms NDS/Sonic Classic Collection (DSi Enhanced) (E).nds

EDIT2 : I re read your 1st post and did not see you were on DSi, AFAIR it is straight forward compared to DS/Lite. Not need for donor rom, just launch the .nds of your DSiware Title.

Make sure that you're running TwilightMenu++ latest release https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases/tag/v27.1.2

End you can have those on the HOME menu by using Hiya by either using forwarders or installing the .tmds using NTM, but this is no longer recommended and useless since you already have TwilightMenu++ as a replacement.

Kind of off topic, but the DS has 3 Zelda games, not two.



DSi Ware Exclusive

There are some pretty cool DSi Ware games.
