Hi all.
I hacked a Dsi XL today, installed Twilight, Unlauncher and HiyaCFW for the stock feel. There were a few Japanese games installed before i hacked it. Now every single time I open the home menu, they are gift wrapped and I can't find them in data management to uninstall. How do I get rid of them? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks!
I'm using GBARunner2 on a DSi XL and for some reason Pokemon Emerald and LeafGreen both have very glitchy music and audio, to the point that it's unplayable. I checked to see if it was a compatibility issue but the compatibility list only said it should have minor stuttering. I tried deleting and replacing the roms but that didn't fix the issue.
So I use Twilight Menu++ on a flashcart on my DS Lite and I was going to boot up Tomodachi Collection and my progress was all gone, and I checked the files and the save file was also gone. I don't know how this happened as I didn't change anything manually. I've checked every directory and I don't know how to fix this
Edit: Looking again, it appears ALL of my saves are gone
Hello I just got a dslite macro in usb c it charges well but how come it charges while the wire is connected to the game player
My game really often freezes, and then when i restard my DSLite card can't be read. I need to take it out blow air in both microsd slot and cartridge slot, and i have to do it pretty often. It wasn't issue few weeks ago when I played pokemon emerald. Only now when I play Fire Emblem.
Let's say the SD reader is destroyed and you want to back things up.
My DSi is Japanese and I’d like to use Camera app through Twilight Menu using English rom of the app. Is it possible without installing hiyaCFW?
I’m trying to obtain gen 3 event items such as the sea map for mew and to edit Pokémon. I’ve been told the pkmn chest would be good for this if I put it onto and R4 and then into a ds lite with my game. Would this work or is there another Pokémon editing app that’s better for gen 3?
I followed what the guide told me, extracted and placed the necessary files and even found the one for r4itt but even then still can't install it. If anybody has time for it is it possible for me to send a copy of my r4 file and help me install it?
Perhaps a silly question but if I hack a Japanese DSI to be english, can I play Pokemon Platinum from Japan and it would be english?
I'm relatively new to this and i dont wanna risk bricking my DSi and most guides say Unlaunch has a small risk at bricking your DSi. I also dont wanna open the menu through the camera exploit everytime if theres an alternative. Could i get like an icon on the DSi menu that allows me to open it? I saw this somewhere but i could find anything on it.
What did my 7 year old do? Won't go into twilight menu now just goes to this when click album
If i start game with twilight menu, the game doesn't work and keep displays white screen.
I download with nds file
I found several sites where you can download event distributors for the R4, but unfortunately, the event distributors like SP Nagasaki in Black and White 1 I am unable to find them.
I'm new to modding my ds. But I have a DS Lite and I have an R4 card with quite a few games on it. All of which work with the TWilight Menu ++ excluding Animal Crossing Wild World. Whenever I attempt to launch it, the screen goes white and then I get the TWilight Menu splash screen and it puts me right back to looking at the game to launch it. I've tried updating TWilight, but beyond that I am lost. Please help me lol
Edit: I have seen that this may be a nds bootstrapper issue? I do not know the greatest way to thwart that
I uninstalled unlaunch around a year ago after I was scared because I didn't know how to get out of it, and it did it successfully, so it's uninstalled on my system. But I want to reinstall it now, and I was wondering if there's a risk of installing it again on the same system?
Olá, Senhoras e Senhores,
Tenho este cartão, mas o cartão SD está em branco que estava no 3DS XL que comprei.
Existe alguma forma de alguém me enviar os arquivos ou um link para onde preciso ir para que este cartão funcione em um Nintendo 3DS XL.
Será que ainda vale a pena esse R4? Ou é melhor comprar um maus atual?
Orientação/ajuda ou um link seriam muito apreciados.
I tried to press select before and during the game but I couldn’t get the cheat activated, any suggestions?
Playing Pokemon black and I was able to save once on my r4, now anytime I try to save it will freeze and not save. then I have to shutdown and it returns me to my first save. any way to fix it? Its on my r4 gold
As stated in the screenshot, I need help unhiding a game in twilight menu preferably without the need for a laptop! I can insert the SD card into my iPad using an adapter but not sure i’d be able to access files in the same way compared to my windows laptop
I did that with my 3DS without issues but there is no guide about it for the dsi? I found a language patcher tool but that doesn't work very well, the dsi is still Japanese, when I use twilight menu to switch to its main settings.
I found a guide to reinstall firmware on the nand but it says to only use the same firmware that came with this unit, so using my other dsi Euro nand backup is probably not a good idea, right?
Like the following theme is under the 3DS section but I wanna use it on my DSi XL: https://skins.ds-homebrew.com/nintendo-3ds/persona-3-reload---s-e-e-s-
I recentaly installed pokemon platinum on my r4 and i wanted to get cheats, My r4 is a r4 SDHC Dual-core from 2015.
I have a DSI XL arriving soon, I've decided I'd like to use HiyaCFW and go through the pain of forwarding the 20 games I'm planning to play so that I can have the stock feel from the console.
I understand that either the SD card needs to be 2gb (not big enough for all my games so it's a no) or you just need to have less than 2gb of space free at any time.
Just looking for clarification on the process of modding it with this in mind. Should i put dummy files onto the sd card before beginning (leaving 2gb), then once the CFW is installed, remove dummy files (in chunks of 4gb or something), add my games, and again put dummy files if it is not at <2gb free?
Also where should i put the games on the SD card to use the forwarder?
Thanks! :)
Since the dsi already has enough ram. I was wondering if you could just emulate it having the slot 2 ram
On my sisters DSi I homebrewed for her and I got games on it that are AP, any way I can work around that?
I've tried everything for 3 hours ND I can't get my SD card to work on it and it keeps giving me the error
