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
Good evening, has anyone already added an emulator in the Twilight, I am looking to add handyds, the emulator launches correctly when I place the emulator in the data folder with its files and I add the emulator in the roms /Lynx folder that I created but I cannot launch it through the Twilight/emulator/ menu. I feel like I'm missing some links between the roms/Lynx folder and Twilight/emulator/handyds. Anyone have an idea?
I've deleted some games that came when I bought my R4 card, but the games I deleted now appear as "trashed" (from Castlevania downwards, are the games that I haven't deleted) and I know that the SD card has more games, but I can't access them
Does anyone know what to do?
like it says, i have a hacked DSI running twilightmenu++ that i did for my boyfriend recently. everything else is perfect and runs smoothly- my files are all organized, except for one problem- pictochat doesnt work!! and when i installed the .nds file as a fix, it worked properly, yes, but i tested it out with my own personal DS and 3DS respectfully...HOWEVERRR the DS classic start menu twilightmenu++ has, a big white square covers part of the screen! everything is still usable aside from that, but it gets on me and my boyfriend's nerves both equally LOL... it's all the .nds file's fault but i *really* wanted us to both have working pictochat without him having a nasty hard-to-read start menu >:/
...does anyone here have any fixes for either the menu problem or a better .nds file replacement? i've been looking and i unfortunately can't find anything that good on a safe and trustable site.
can i at the very least remove the .nds file fix i did and make the original pictochat button work again? that and download play both open to white screens and freeze without any wait or change whatsoever. *anything helps* tysm in advance to those who reply <3
(Rom has no trade evos, through universal randomiser) When I picked my starter, and the screen went black, the battle music started playing, but the screen remained black.
I installed twilight menu++ latest version for my DSi XL just a week or two ago. So the GBARunner 2 came with it. Is it because I enabled no trade evos option for the rom? Everything else is vanilla/original.
I already placed the bios.bin with the right checksum in _gba folder.
Hey, so i'm using Twilight menu++ on an dsi xl and I've tried changing the time and date in the system settings to change the seasons in Pokemon White 2, but it won't carry over to the game. Does anyone have an idea why that could be and how to fix it.
I used this guide to mod the DS: https://dsi.cfw.guide/get-started.html and i have no further experience.
Thx in advance

Hello what is the simplest way to solder a usb c to a dslite
Hey everyone! I got a DSLite with the intent to homebrew it and potentially make some game repros since being introduced to them. I was just wondering how to go about starting homebrewing my DS. I've used CFW on my PS3 before so I'm familiar somewhat with homebrew, but what do I need for a DS? Any resources at all would be helpful, thanks!
