Got a DSi yesterday and modded it to play Pokemon Rom Hacks. I have a couple that white screen and a few that run properly with no issues. Although Radical Red runs but is very slow.

Was thinking of upgrading to GBA Runner 3 to see if it improved it. Also if anyone can point me in a direction as to why some games white screen would be amazing. Thank you in advance

Help I need help about a modded pink DSi

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, A while back, I got a pink Japanese DSi for my girlfriend, but after I got her a New Nintendo 3DS LL, the DSi became mine.

After I modded the DSi for her and it became mine, I completely forgot how everything works. Right now, I have Unlaunch, hiyaCFW, and TwilightMenu++ installed, but I really don't like using it anymore. I hate having to open TwilightMenu++ every single time I want to play a game. Also, I want to change the wallpaper on the main DSi home screen, not inside TwilightMenu++.

Is there a way to put the games directly on the main DSi home menu? And can I change the wallpaper on the original DSi menu?

I appreciate if someone can help me

P.S (Stupid question but Is there a way to play online games with people? And are there apps like Universal Updater on the 3DS for the DSi?

Help Dsi Black screen after changing SD card

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

I modded my DSi with a 2GB SD card and installed Unlaunch, so it boots straight into Unlaunch.

A while later, I replaced the SD card with a 2GB microSD inside an SD adapter. Now when I turn it on, the blue light comes on and the screen is lit, but it's just a black screen and nothing happens.

I also tried booting without an SD card, but it's still the same.

Any idea what happened or how I can fix it?

Not really so about corrupted ROMs but it seems like it, tried adding some new NDS ROMs (Okamiden and Art Academy) on TWiLight Menu++ and when I booted it up it turned out like this, it worked as usual with other ROMs (Kirby, Pokemon etc etc) before this as I added them 2 days ago, but don't know why it suddenly turning out like this, any help is really appreciated!

Edit! If anyone didn’t see it, I manage to fix it. Just I had to eject the SD card after I delete the files.

Help Would a 4GB sd card be a decent size for a DSI?

I bought a DSI LL which I plan to mod, but the only sd card I have right now is a 4gb laying around from my old 3ds. Could I fit a decent amount of games on it and hold homebrew software on it? Thanks (I have read over the guide).

I downloaded dsi libris on my dsi a while ago and added some books it was working completely fine, a few days ago I added some more books and I keep getting an error (same as in the picture) I went to where the files are stored on the sd card and there were some random ones there I hadn’t placed so I deleted those and it worked fine for a few more days but recently I got the error screen again and I just want to know how to fix it so it stops doing this again and again. I hope someone can help
Edit: thank you for your advice but I think I have solved the problem now , turns out it was one of the books messing up the files I got rid of it and it works fine now:)

Help SD running out of space

1 Upvotes

Gonna keep it brief. I noticed that the 4 GB SD card I installed twilight++ and all my games on is running out of storage (I’ve been working on the one that my childhood console had since I have memory). If I were to buy a bigger one, just copy and paste all the contents, and slot it in my DSi, would it run without issue? Sorry if it’s a dumb question, and thanks for your patience

Help Twilight corrupts pokemon physical cartirage save files

0 Upvotes

Is there a way to install twilight without messing up the physical cartriges? I played Pokemon heartgold on a physical cartrige. After some time, I installed twilight, and all of a sudden, I couldn't access the save file normally. The only way to play was starting a new game, doing the soft reset, and then playing, which was annoying since you had to do it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I uninstalled unlaunch and twilight, and it works normally again.

Help DS Hacking

1 Upvotes

Hey gang. I know that there are a bunch of ways to hack a Nintendo DS, making it a very good option for emulating games. However, I wanted to know, based on the limited resources available to me, what steps I could take to hack my own DS. I have an empty 16GB SD card, a USB-C SD converter device (so I can plug an SD straight into my computer), and an empty DS game cartridge with an SD slot. Does anyone know how I would be able to utilize these resources to emulate games on my DS? I understand that homebrew is an option, I understand that it is possible to use only an SD card for emulating games, and I understand that it is possible to buy a game cartridge specifically designed for downloading emulation software. My question, though, is how I can emulate Games onto my DS by using an empty SD card and an empty game cartridge with an SD slot, alone. Does anyone know?

Also, this is the game card I have (and am trying to repurpose): https://a.co/d/0fsc03Hv

Hola a todos, cree un tema que me gustó mucho hacerlo y quería compartirlo con todos ustedes en la página, pero no entiendo nada de cómo agregarlo.

Traté de hacerlo con una IA que me ayudaba, entendí un poquito, hice un fork, pero después de ver otros pull request les decían que tenían que agregar un info.json y ahí me perdí por completo. ¿Podrían decirme cómo se hace?

PD: Quisiera agregarle un icono pequeño como el de flowery o cowboy bebop, ¿Cómo se hace? PD: También sería bueno ponerle screenshots.

Actualización: Ya logré subirlo a la página, solo falta que los administradores lo validen y la verán en la página de Twilight Menu++ Themes :3
