Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue caused by a devkitARM (and libnds?) update, where opening the DS Classic Menu on DS flashcards would cause TWLMenu++ to crash and restart.
  • 3DS/2DS users: Updating via Universal-Updater now works again.
    • Note that you'll no longer be able to update TWLMenu++ and nds-bootstrap nightly builds, due to the TWLBot account being made private.

After updating, if TWLMenu++ is stuck on white screens, or keeps showing the TWLMenu++ splash screen, try reinstalling.

What's new?

  • Some A-Data and Lexar branded SD cards will no longer show the SD prompt.
  • The SD prompt (for bad/fake/untested SD cards) will now only display when first booting TWLMenu++ on DSi. Turning off the DSi and turning it back on will make the prompt appear again.

v27.3.0: Robz' Birthday Release

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

What's new?

  • Readded the Wood UI theme folder. (sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/akmenu/themes/)
  • Added SD card brand detection, in order to prevent booting TWLMenu++ on bad/fake SD cards.
    • Please note that the detection system isn't perfect, as certain bad/fake SD cards are known to reuse CIDs of good SD cards.
    • This feature does not work on flashcards, as the DLDI system does not support reading CIDs.
  • Added a .ini-only setting to swap the DS and DSi splash screens.
    • Open sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/settings.ini, and add OPPOSITE_SPLASH = 1 underneath the DSI_SPLASH line. As a result, you'll see the DSi splash on DS consoles, and the DS splash on DSi and 3DS consoles.
  • The Unlaunch installer is no longer launchable on the 3DS theme, as with no successful fix attempts, past versions have caused a crash when attempting to launch it.
  • The frame rate feature has been removed, as it has served no purpose.

Bug fix (Wood UI theme)

  • Screen position has been fixed when opening the theme.

Bug fix (Wood UI theme)

  • Reverted improved icon scroll speed to fix icon load bugs.
    • As a result, scrolling through many entries at once (by holding Up/Down or via touch) seems to no longer cause a crash.

v27.2.1

Includes nds-bootstrap v1.5.2

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

What's new? (Wood UI theme)

  • Brightness icon has been added! Visible and functional on DS Phat, DS Lite, and DSi consoles (the 3rd of which runs in DSi mode).
  • Added better scrolling!
    • @stripes-8: File list scrolls when the selection passes half of the list rather than the very end. As a result, you can now scroll using touch by holding the 1st or 4th selection down (or top/bottom half in list mode).
    • Scrolling speed has been improved!
  • @stripes-8: Directory path is only displayed if directories are shown. (This is what chyyran did before.)
  • @stripes-8: Changed list view line height from 11 to 15 to make the file list easier to read. (This is also what chyyran did before.)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed where DSi-based themes would show a Guru Meditation Error screen when running from certain flashcards such as R4i 3DS RTS (r4ids.cn), and/or when exiting from nds-bootstrap.
  • Some custom fonts are no longer shown glitched on flashcards.
  • Fixed where launching a GBA cartridge in DS Classic Menu causes TWLMenu++ to restart.
  • Fixed GBA ROM getting overwritten by save data when launching a GBA ROM in native GBA mode, and if the file extension is uppercase.
  • Fixed loading flashcard saves stored in SD TWLMenu folder with flashcard kernel.

Known bug (Wood UI theme)

  • Scrolling through many entries at once (by holding Up/Down or via touch) may sometimes cause a crash. (Not tested in list mode.)

v27.2.0: Return of Wood UI

Includes nds-bootstrap v1.5.1

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

What's new?

  • You've asked, we listened, and now after nearly 4 years, the Wood UI theme returns to TWiLight Menu++! Thank you for your longtime patience!
  • @mentusfentus, @DieGo367, and @edo9300: DS Classic Menu has been improved to closely resemble the original DS/DS Lite menu as possible, with additions such as analog clock, calendar, name display, and more!
  • Added a feature to change where DS(i) save files are placed. By default, they are placed in the saves folder in the same location as the ROMs, but can be changed to place them straight in the ROM folder, or in a saves folder within the TWiLightMenu folder (similar to RetroArch).
    • Placing the saves in the ROM folder will disable save slots in order to not slow down loading the ROM folder too much.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a long-standing bug where the icon palettes would sometimes appear glitched in the R4 theme and DS Classic Menu.
  • Some minor fixes.

Known issues

  • As the Wood UI theme has been re-written using the R4 theme as the base (as a way to work around the SD corruption bug), elements of the R4 theme have been left over, such as the message box (used by per-game settings and cheat menus, as well as general messages), English-only text, and the code which loads the game icons and infos (scrolling speed may vary, as a result).
  • Pressing START in Wood UI will open DS Classic Menu.
  • 5px-wide clock colon images will not display properly in Wood UI.

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

What's new?

  • MBK settings from the DSi header of homebrew ROMs will now be set. Should fix support for such ROMs that may happen to use differing and/or odd settings.
    • Does not apply to DSiWarehax and/or CycloDS iEvolution users.

Bug fix

  • Fixed an overlooked bug which caused a white screen crash when the language and/or region select screens would appear. (A common bug for first-time users.)

v27.1.1

Choose a tag to compare

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

What's new?

  • DSi-based themes: On DS flashcards, large cheat lists no longer cause a crash. To achieve this:
    • SFX is now unloaded when opening the cheat menu.
    • The complete font is no longer loaded, and instead will load font tiles into an LRU cache.
  • Due to the above feature freeing up plenty of RAM space, the DSi-type fonts will now be loaded on all consoles instead of the DS-type fonts.
    • If you're creating a custom font, you now just need large.nftr and/or small.nftr.
  • @mentusfentus: Page switch SFX now pans left and right. (#2396)

Bug fixes

  • Some weird bugs have appeared since v26.9.0 due to enabling LTO. To fix them, LTO has been disabled in areas where the bugs have occurred.
  • Fixed an overlooked bug where the R4 and GBC themes would appear with a blank ROM list if the page number (for DSi-based themes) is not the first.

Includes nds-bootstrap v1.5.0

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

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)
  • @spellboundtriangle: 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!
