Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

[Plasmaster09]

TWLMenu++ v12.2 here (haven't bothered updating things in like a year or whatever), and though this has probably been discussed before, Dragon Quest V's antipiracy is being a pain in my ass even though presumably the patching/AP-dodging is built in to TWLMenu++ iirc. What do I do? (Is it only built in in later versions? If that isn't it, what is?)

You can patch it manually. I encountered ap with dq9 where sometimes my save wouldn't load. I patched it myself with I nds scene tool. It has most ap patches built in. Anyway, no problems now. . I think that's before twilight menu had the patch. It shouldn't hurt anything if you patch it manually.

Ah, got it. I'm too lazy to update TWLM at the moment, so I'll do that.
Also forgot to mention another thing: Mega Man ZX freezes white when I try to launch it. Though it's been over a year since I first played it, it did work back then on what I can only assume was a PRIOR version of TWLM. What happened, and how can I get it to work again?

It still works on my side. Try replacing your ROM, as it probably got corrupt overtime.

Ouch. Well, I'll try that (along with manually patching DQ5) and hope it works.
Edit: ZX works! You were spot on- the ROM was just messed up. Works fine now with the same save!
...and DQ5 doesn't. Shit. What now?

Trimming DS roms can lead to slowdowns or any kind of data corruption?

not that I'm aware of. I've never had a game crash or anything, and I trim all of my games.

Guys, how does it work the Precise Volume Control option in NDSi?

I’ve it enabled in TM++ settings, but it doesn't change the volume when I use select+up/down (pad)

Did you hold D-Pad instead of just pressing it?
If so, and it still doesn't work, then it'll only work in DS games.

I just press it, I'll try to hold it. Thank @Robz8

Last time I checked the 1.1 revision of the European version of LoZ: Spirit Tracks still had the AP issue at the start of the game.
Please include the patch in your next release, Robz8.

That's weird. I remember adding it in the past.

I have tried it but the AP patch is not applied, I remember it was added a while ago.

I thought so too, but upon trying the game, the AP kicked in nonetheless.

Getting the same problem with my daughter's Pokemon Platinum version. Please help:

Givens:
working perfectly fine on a DS Lite on R4, rom and .sav file

Here's The thing:
Given her a used DSi LL I've bought from a thrift store, followed the dsi exploit already on twilightmenu++ with unlaunch WITH LANGUAGE PATCHER V2 so it's all english.

Copied all the games from her DS Lite SD card to the DSi LL using a computer. Then she turned it on and open PPV and boom a communication error occured.

Here's more info. my daughter has a twin boy, my son. who I did the same exact thing except for him, he got a DSi XL (already english)
Did the exact same thing except the language patcher obviously. Everything on his end works fine.

so as parting post.. lol, please help!

Check if the "Wi-Fi" setting is turned off in TWiLight Menu++ settings, I think it's on the Misc. Settings page. That happens when Wi-Fi is off because it tries to look for a Wii to show the Connect to Wii option.

Hello Pk11, thanks for answering. Yes I turned it on. no dice, but then, I changed the Sysnand Region from JPN to ENG. the device is an LL, but with the language patcher its all english, I just had a hunch to try to do it and now I mean just now, it's working. My Daughter's very happy. Thanks a bunch!

Improvements

• (@Pk11 and various) Updated translations.
• (@Pk11) Scrolling in the DSi, 3DS, Saturn, and HBL themes, has greatly improved!
  • Dragging the scroll bar in the DSi theme will no longer show low FPS.

Many thanks for the improvements done and for sharing the update, @Robz8.

I have just hacked my DSi yesterday for the first time through dsi.cfw.guide. It was around 21:00 (BST). Does it mean TWL Menu was not on its latest version on the official guide yet? Or has it been updated by then?

Otherwise, all I need to do is replacing the _nds folder and the BOOT.nds file on the root of my SD card, correct? I have the Unlaunch menu already installed and setup and everything seems to be working well.

On another note, I have 2 questions for you:

• Where can I check the TWL Menu's version on my console?
• Are there any disadvantages of overclocking my DSi from 67mHz to 133mHz? And what about changing the sound frequence from 32kHz to 48kHz?

Many thanks in advance.

I believe that would mean you have 21.3.0, yes.

Otherwise, all I need to do is replacing the _nds folder and the BOOT.nds file on the root of my SD card, correct? I have the Unlaunch menu already installed and setup and everything seems to be working well.

Essentially yes, here's a short updating guide on it.

Where can I check the TWL Menu's version on my console?

The TWiLight Menu++ version will be shown at the bottom-right corner of the top screen of the settings menu, with the nds-bootstrap version on the top left.

Are there any disadvantages of overclocking my DSi from 67mHz to 133mHz? And what about changing the sound frequence from 32kHz to 48kHz?

Some specific games may have problems, but it's fairly unlikely.
If you do run into problems with TWL clock speed, you can let us know so that it can be added to the blacklist.
I dunno if sound frequency is known to be problematic, though.
