Every time I press select on my Soft modded DSI it resets and I don't know how to fix it or change the button that causes it. All help is appreciated!

I have the hardware ready. I have the rom and the patch. I also got the rom that apparently has anti-piracy stripped out, but I can't get that to patch properly like the regular rom. But, because of the anti-piracy, the regular patched rom won't play past making my name.
Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi everyone.
I’m planning to install CFW on my Nintendo DSi. Now comes the time to select an exploit, and I actually don’t really have a choice, since my console doesn’t have the Internet browser nor the Flipnote app. I was preparing for a Memory Pit exploit then, but gathering information here and there always brings the potential issue of compatibility with a few games and/or homebrews.
The DSi CFW Guide website in particular says: “As Memory Pit is somewhat limited in homebrew compatibility, it is recommended to install Unlaunch, instead of using Memory Pit standalone.”
Thanks for any input you could provide!
So I have this microsd and DS one super card with a ton of cracked games on it, if I were to add more, would the games work as intended or would everything just break?
Also, what do I need to do in order to add ROM games onto it? I have a DS lite so I wasn’t too sure.
Thanks to you guys I got it working 👍😊
So thanks again you guys, I really appreciate the help!
Never seen it or heard of it. Anniversary or som?
So I went to a retro store today and picked this DSi up for $50 mostly because I wanted one to hack so I could replay Pokemon black and black 2.
What a nice surprise it was to find that it's already been done for me!
But I don't know anything about this so with this being the boot menu, what can you guys tell me about this?
Because I would like to know how to get games onto here so I can actually play them?
Do I need to get the SD card into a reader on my PC and actually dump rom files into it? Or is this wifiboot thing supposed to be able to get games on here?
Just assume that I know nothing, please tell me anything you can about this and how to use it!
Thanks in advance everyone!
So I've been trying to play four swords anniversary edition on my ds lite and managed to get it to run with the memory expansion pack. But when i get to a certain part of the game (the part that was added for the dsi version) it crashes with a ram error. I assume that's because i don't have enough ram. Is there a way to further expand the ram to get me to the 16 of the dsi?
Hi all, I was wondering if I’m able to use the same sd card across multiple dsi consoles with twilight menu and unlaunch installed on both, I have an xl for home use and a normal dsi I take in the van and away for work but want to keep my saves ect
I need some help making a .bgm file for my twilight menu theme. I don’t have any computer besides a shitty ok Chromebook so I was wondering if anyone else could do it for me?
I have a Nintendo DS Lite and and a DSi XL. I have not use them in a while but I remember that even though they should be able to handle SNES emulation there simply was not a good SNES emulator for DS/DSi. Has anything changed or SNES emulation still sucks on these devices?
I would love to try again if anything has changed
I’m looking for these systems to emulate
NES GBA SNES Genesis Turbografx-16 NeoGeo
Last time I tried. I don’t know if there was Neo Geo emulation but the others I think worked with SNES emulation being the worst though
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to play original Gameboy games on my DSi. Specifically Pokemon Red and blue. I'd also like to know if it's possible to inject them straight to my title screen so I don't have to go through an emulator or similar app like twilightmenu
Can't really get a straight answer from Google (I don't care if it can play gba games or not lol) so I'm hoping someone here has some experience
There was an option to download books on the game. Does anyone know if you can get different books on it?
I have a save file of Souls Silver that I wish to continue playing on my DSI, where should I drop the save file?
I don't know if such a thing exist, or if it's even possible... But is there any homebrew app that could identify if a game (more specifically, a DS cartridge) is original or pirated/repro?
Something that maybe reades the cartridge on tyour DS/3DS and detects if it's original? So you can test on the go before buying some used game?
Thanks in advance and sorry if it's a stupid question/request
Every time I play prologue iv of Shadow Dragon it crashes around the time when I have to choose to sacrifice a character. I’m playing the full content patch, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Has anyone experienced this before? This is on twilight menu ++ on a DSi XL btw.
Just wondering if its possible to do it with no extra brick risk. I bought a dsi xl for $70 and i really want to mod it.
Sadly, my save file got corrupted and I want to know if there is any kind to modding my save file (.sav) since I don't want to play again because I advanced a lot in case 5. Please let me know if you know something about a save file editor or if you have a save file just right at 3rd day of case 5.
In any case, I play the EUR version (SPA, ITA, GER).
I have a Rome folder for ds and gba games but I put it in there and it didn’t work. Anybody have the answer?
The current firmware is trash and it cant backup/restore saves, i would like a differenr firmware
I have installed Twilight Menu ++ recently on my DSI XL and I have been able to play both DS and DSI Ware. Unfortunately, none of the GBA and GB roms appear on the menu in any of my folders and I have been unable to play them. I have tried looking online and I haven't found the solution to this issue.
Please help,
Thank you.
I copied several roms to the micro sd of my Dsi xl and there are some that are not even detected when I start the twilight menu, I don't know if I have to update it or change some configuration
