Is it possible to soft-reset DS and GBA games in TwilightMenu on a softmodded DSi XL (Flipnote Lenny exploit)? If yes, could softresetting lead to files corrupting on the SD card?

What are the best practices to avoiding SD card corruption when playing GBA and DS games on TwilightMenu?

SD card corruption will not occur, though if it does, then your SD card may be dying.

In NES, you touch the bottom screen, and find the Save (?)RAM option (idk where it is). SNES, you can't. GB(C), it's either done automatically, or touch the bottom screen to find the save option.

Also, if you have future questions, please join our Discord server.
For gameboy color, it's either automatically or manually by assigning a hotkey, i think it's "R" by default. (Manual option is used in case the automatic save causes slowdowns).
Save states are also viable.

May i have the discord channel link?

Good job. But I didn't still get sucess loading colors homebrew app. Also I can't enter dsi hacking on discord because some time ago, a hacker stole my discord account and he sent to many groups a spam link that probably contained a virus. my account got banned on multiple servers because that, one of them being dsi hacking.

hi RocketRobz, i would like to ask is it possible to disable "touch" function from the TT menu? i mean; so i could browse through roms and menu only using d-pad... I'm asking because ds lite im using to play gba and gbc games, has problem with touch screen, so it's little hard to navigate through menu. Thank you and have a good day!

TTMenu? Assuming you meant TWLMenu++, hold SELECT after starting TWLMenu++ (and after the DS splash screen and/or when SELECT is held in the TWLMenu++ splash) to open the settings menu, and switch the theme to either R4 or GBC.

Hey RocketRobz, since a few updates ago when I try to open the settings with the Y button on certain SM64DS ROMhacks like "Another Super Mario 3D" TwilightMenu crashes showing an Guru Meditation Error screen that says Unhandled Exception or something, on O3DS. Apparently when I tried with the Flashcard version that didn't happen but I haven't tried with the latest update

Edit: Added pic of the error

I'm trying to use DS Download Play on Twilightmenu++ in my 3DS to transfer Pokemon from a ROM of HeartGold into a physical copy of Pokemon White. Is this possible? It seems like it's not working, but am I just doing something wrong or is this currently not supported?

I also have a DSi and an original DS although I'm assuming the DS doesn't use TwiLight; would this work on either of these if it doesn't work on a 3DS? Thanks!
It is currently not supported, as DS Download Play only reads the cartridge and not a ROM and/or save file from the SD card.

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.
