TWiLight Menu++ is an open-source DSi Menu upgrade/replacement & customizable unified interface for the Nintendo DSi, the Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo DS flashcards. It can launch Nintendo DS, SNES, NES, GameBoy (color), GameBoy Advance, Sega GameGear/Master System & Mega Drive/Genesis ROMs, as well as DSTWO plugins (if you use a DSTWO) and .rvid videos using RocketVideo Technology. It can be used as a frontend for either nds-bootstrap or supported flashcards.

Features

  • Launch DS(i) ROMs from the SD card and/or flashcard, via nds-bootstrap (comes included with the app)!
  • For flashcards, the flashcard kernel/firmware can optionally be used to boot the games.
  • Automatic on-the-fly AP-patching! Drag and drop your ROMs onto the SD card, and play, without any additional steps!
    • The included AP-patches are loaded for a specific game, by nds-bootstrap, and the patching is done in RAM, leaving your original ROM untouched.
  • Bring the DSi Menu to your DS Phat/lite, by putting TWLMenu++ on a flashcard!
  • First DS flashcard UI to show animated icons from DSi-Enhanced, DSi-Exclusive, and DSiWare games!
  • For DSi/3DS/2DS users: Overclock your DS games to 133mhz, faster than normal DS clock speed of 67mhz!
  • For DSi/3DS/2DS users: Change sound frequency from 32kHz to 48kHz for higher sound quality!
  • Directly access the following flashcards' microSD cards, and switch to and from there anytime!
    • Acekard 2i (Games cannot be booted)
    • R4 Ultra (regular, not R4i) (r4ultra.com)
  • Set the language to your preference.
  • Run the last played ROM on TWiLight Menu++ startup.
  • Play retro games from these consoles:
    • (Super) GameBoy (Color), via GameYob
    • NES/Famicom, via nesDS
    • Sega Master System/Game Gear, via S8DS
    • Sega MegaDrive/Genesis, via jEnesisDS
    • Super Nintendo/Famicom, via SNEmulDS
  • 3DS/2DS users: Play DS games in 16:10 widescreen! Not all games will work with this feature.

Installing TWiLight Menu++

TWiLight Menu++ can be used with the DS, DSi, and 3DS from a flashcart. It can also be used on the DSi (with Unlaunch and/or HiyaCFW) by extracting it to the SD card and the 3DS family (with CFW) by using TWiLight Menu++ Updater or Universal-Updater. More information can be found in the GBAtemp Thread.
