v27.21.0

25.12.2025

Cheats werden jetzt unterstützt – sie werden aus "SD://_nds/TWiLightMenu/cheats/usrcheat.dat" gelesen. Jedes Theme liest Cheats, aber nur das Acekard-Theme kann diese (de-)aktivieren. Natürlich wurden wieder einige Fehler behoben, so wird jetzt bspw. auch das HOME-Menü-Icon korrekt angezeigt.

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.

v2.12.1

27.12.2025

Eine RAM-Disk mit einer Größe von bis zu 28 MB lässt sich in den Speicher der Konsole laden, um DS-Homebrew ohne SD bzw. Flashkarte ausführen zu können – was relativ sinnbefreit ist, da man eines von beiden sowieso braucht, um ein Programm vorher zu starten.

* RAM disk support has been added for homebrew!
You can load a .img file up to 12MB if you're on DSi, or 28MB if you're on 3DS, to the console's main RAM, and be free from either a flashcard or the console's SD card.
This increases DLDI homebrew compatibility a lot, though very few may still not work (ex. Moonshell v1.x, which works fine from SD card).
The RAM disk .img path will be saved to the .ini file by TWiLight Menu++ (starting with v7.2.0).
Use this program to create RAM disk .img files.
* Loading screen has been ported over from retail game build to homebrew build of nds-bootstrap.
It will only be shown when using a RAM disk .img file, or else it will either be shown for a split-second, or not be shown at all.
* The DC_FlushRange code is no longer ran when reading from SD card. May improve loads speeds a tiny bit.

v27.21.0

25.12.2025

Vor dem Update: Wenn ihr eine Flashkarte nutzt, extrahiert die "BOOT_fc.nds" in den Root der microSD der Flashkarte, kopiert die Datei und benennt diese Kopie dann in "boot.nds" um. Außerdem muss die Autoboot-Datei der Karte aktualisiert werden.

Der Launcher ist jetzt überflüssig und dient ab der nächsten Version nur noch als Updater. TWiLight Menu++ taucht ab dieser Version selbstständig im HOME-Menü auf! Mehrere Speicherstände lassen sich erstellen und Lautstärke- und Akku-Symbole wurden hinzugefügt. Die alternativen Namen ("SRLoader" und "DSiMenu++") können nicht mehr verwendet werden und wenn die Homebrew von einer Flashkarte ausgeführt wird, wird das HOME-Icon im DSi-/3DS-Theme angezeigt, mit dem ins Systemmenü zurück gebootet werden kann.

What's new?
* Volume and battery indicators added to DSi, 3DS, and Acekard themes!
For the Acekard theme, only the DS menu and Switch themes for the AK theme show the volume and battery (icons for AK themes added by @Epicpkmn11).
Also, in DS mode, no volume icon will be shown, and instead of showing 4 battery bars, it'll show 2, and on DS Phat/Lite consoles, it'll be green instead of blue, to match the console's power LED light.
* You can now have multiple saves for your games! Up to 10 .sav files can be used.
To access the option, open up per-game settings.
* The TWiLight Menu++ CIA is now shown on the 3DS HOME Menu.
As a result, on next boot of the app, it will load faster, and the TWiLight Menu++ Launcher has been deprecated, as the next version of it will just be an updater.
* If your on a Panda/Dev DSi unit or a 3DS/2DS, a game console select screen will be shown, if it's your first time using TWLMenu++.
* A new animated icon for TWiLight Menu++ has been added! (made by @vulpes-vulpeos)
* The alternative names (SRLoader and DSiMenu++) have been dropped to avoid confusion. (suggested by @NightYoshi370)
* As the new nds-bootstrap release (v0.15.0) breaks compatibility with GBARunner2, the old hb bootstrap is still used to boot GBARunner2.
* If you're running TWLMenu++ from a flashcard on DSi or 3DS/2DS, the HOME icon is now shown on the DSi/3DS theme, where you can touch it to return to system menu.

Bug fix
* Fixed not saving hb rom's bootstrap file (thanks to @Epicpkmn11).

v2.12.1

27.12.2025

DS-Homebrews lassen sich wieder starten und die Rückkehr zum TWLMenu++ v7.0.0+ funktioniert wieder, wenn L+R+Runter+B für zwei Sekunden gedrückt gehalten wird. Auch wurden Probleme beim Speichern bei einigen Spielen behoben. Zum Ausführen von GBARunner2 wird jetzt zwingend das TWLMenu++ benötigt, da es sich nicht mehr per NDS-Bootstrap starten lässt.

What's new?
* Homebrew compatibility is back! Compatibility should be more or less the same as on v0.0.3.
NOTE: This currently does not work with SnemulDS, due to it having a different interrupt dispatcher from libnds-compiled homebrew.

Bug fixes
* Fixed returning to TWiLight Menu++ with L+R+DOWN+B for 2 secs, if v7.1.0 or later is installed.
This feature will no longer work with TWiLight Menu++ v7.0.0 or prior, unless if the TWiLight Menu++ CIA from v7.1.0 is installed.
* Fixed save issues in some games that didn't have them before.
Some games may still have the issue, even with the fix implemented (ex. DBZ Supersonic Warriors 2).

Regression
* GBARunner2 now doesn't work. Use TWiLight Menu++'s GBARunner2 feature, as an older version of nds-bootstrap is used there.
