v7.4.1:
What's new?
* The H&S screen (if enabled) now fades in the same time as the DSi splash screen.
* The Touch the Touch Screen to continue. text now fades in/out, instead of blinking in/out.
* Any button now gets past the DSi splash when it's finished playing.

Improvement
* The date/time font is now loaded into and read from RAM, whenever the date/time text is being rendered, as well as the colon blinking.
This is done to save read cycles of the SD card, and improves performance to like before the date/time was implemented.

Bug fix
MegaMan ZX and ZX Advent removed from ce9 cache list to fix minibosses crashing the games.

v7.4.0:
New Features:
* Introducing RocketVideo technology, a new homebrew video player!
* Thanks to RocketVideo, a new animated TWiLight Menu++ splash has been added, with sound added alongside it! The last half of the splash was created in Game Maker Studio.
* (@Epicpkmn11) Time and date display have been added to the DSi and 3DS themes!
* The stock look of the DSi Menu returns! The top icons are now moved to a new menu called the SELECT menu, the successor to the old START menu.
* (RocketVideo) The rotating cubes from the original 3DS HOME Menu, are now shown on the top screen of the 3DS theme.
* (RocketVideo) The DSi splash now plays at the original frame rate of 60FPS! However, if you're using a flashcard, it'll play at 24FPS, unless if you're using a Memory Expansion Pak for your DS Phat/Lite.
* DSi splash can now be displayed on 3DS/2DS consoles.
* An option has been added to display the H&S screen in the DSi splash.
* Ever wished you could change the color of your screens? Well now you can! A B&W/Grayscale color mode has been added! Currently doesn't work in the Acekard theme and the DS(i) games.
* Color padding added on the top and bottom of the dialog box image in the DSi Menu theme.
* You can now enable/disable showing specific filetypes in the settings menu.
* Pictochat and DS Download Play .nds files can now be launched properly in the ROM menu.
* (@Epicpkmn11) You can now hide files and folders in the DSi/3DS themes!
* Press X on the file or folder, but instead of deleting the file, press Y.
* Slightly sped-up icon rearranging process.
* After rearranging icon, Please wait... text is now shown.
* (@Epicpkmn11) Improved DSi/3DS menu BG music.

Fixed Issues:
* (@Epicpkmn11) macOS's index files ('._') are no longer shown.
* (@NightYoshi370) Fixed AP message being shown for Rune Factory 3.
* Fixed language setting not working in nds-bootstrap.
* Fixed the crash when pressing Up on an empty box in DSi & 3DS themes.
* Fixed GBA mode icon in the main menu.

* The arm9 side of cardEngine can now be set to be loaded in a cached region of the main RAM, instead of an non-cached region.
This gives a bit of speed-up for some games, but makes some games not work.
TWiLight Menu++ (starting with v7.4.0) already determines which games set ce9 to be loaded into cached memory region, so you won't need to set it manually.
 * Color mode option added. Only works with the custom loading screens for now.
Can be set in TWiLight Menu++ settings (starting with v7.4.0).

* A simple loading screen has been added. (made by @FlameKat53)
* A custom loading screen can now be used!
Your .bmp file should be placed in one of these locations:
    sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/dsimenu/loading
    sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/3dsmenu/loading
    sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/r4menu/themes/themename/loading
    sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/akmenu/themes/themename/loading
    The .bmp file should be named 0.bmp. If it's an animated loading screen, then also add 1.bmp, 2.bmp, etc. (up to 29.bmp).
    The animated loading screen will loop after it's frames are shown.
    Supported frame rates are 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, and 30.
    You will need to open the theme's .ini file (config.ini, for the DSi and 3DS themes), and add the data for the loading screen, beginning with [loading screen] (or [Loading], if it's an R4 theme):

frames = 29 (can be from 0 up to 29)
fps = 30 (use one of the supported frame rates)

First letter of the two settings must be capitalized for the R4 theme.
Finally, set the loading screen to TWLMenu++ theme in the TWiLight Menu++ settings screen!

What's new?
* After a while with only two 8-bit emulators (nesDS and GameYob) built-in, two 16-bit emulators (jEnesisDS and SNEmulDS) are finally added!
That's right! You can now run Sega MegaDrive/Genesis and Super Nintendo (SNES) games, thanks to the new RAM disk feature in nds-bootstrap (starting with v0.16.0)!
NOTE: If you're a flashcard user, you do not need to follow this below, as RAM disk will not be used on flashcards.
You'll need SegaMD.img for Sega MD/Gen games, and SNES.img for SNES games. Both should be in sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/emulators. Check the nds-bootstrap v0.16.0 release page for creating the .img files.
For SegaMD.img, the ROMs can be placed anywhere (especially the root) in the .img file, but for SNES.img, the ROMs should be placed in the snes folder in the .img file.
* Like with save files, you can select up to 10 RAM disk .img files for homebrew.
The files will need to be placed in the ramdisks folder, which is in the same folder as the saves folder and the .nds ROMs.
* Cheat support is finally added! (special thanks to @Epicpkmn11!)
Cheats will be read from usrcheat.dat at sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/cheats.
While all of the themes will read the enabled cheats, currently only the Acekard theme has a theme menu where you can enable/disable cheats.
* DS menu Acekard theme updated! (by @vulpes-vulpeos)

Bug fixes
* Fixed touch for buttons on AP message not working in Acekard theme. (by @Epicpkmn11)
* Restored two missing frames to the animated app icon for system menu. (by @vulpes-vulpeos)
* Animated icon now only uses one palette line for all 8 frames.
This is done so that the 3DS HOME Menu will show the icon properly.
