Releases: DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu
v6.6.0: Return of the DSi splash
Originally released 12/3/2018.
Re-released due to not updating the .launcharg
files in the repo before.
Updating from v6.5.1 and later
- Overwrite the
_nds
folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.
What's new?
- DSi users with HiyaCFW: Do you miss the DSi splash being shown on boot, now that this is set as a System Menu replacement?
Well, starting with this version, the DSi splash has been ported and slightly modified from @ApacheThunder's NTR Launcher, and just like on the original System Menu, it'll be shown once on each boot.
To see the DSi splash, turn it on in the HiyaCFW settings. - RocketRobz logo has been added to the bottom screen in the app's splash screen.
.launcharg
files have a new look!
Inside one would besd:/title/000300##/########/content/000000##.app
, but now it's shortened tosd:/title/000300##/########/
, as the app now adds the last half on the fly.
If you have existing.launcharg
s on the SD card, just deletecontent/000000##.app
at the end using a text editor, leaving with the shortened result.- Most known games with AP measures will now show a message saying to AP-patch the ROM, when trying to launch it.
Bug fixes
- The new
.launcharg
look should no longer cause a Guru Meditation Error, unless the particular app doesn't exist on the SDNAND. - Fixed some DSi system apps (such as DSi Camera) in .nds format being booted as homebrew (not working) instead of through Unlaunch.
- (Untested with Acekard theme)
.launcharg
s of DS-mode DSi system apps will no longer show per-game settings. - DSi/3DS theme: Fixed game's icon not being shown in the delete and
cannot be launched
screens. - DSi/3DS theme: On flashcards, it should no longer freeze on the
Now Loading...
screen.
Known bug
- Due to the new look of the
.launcharg
files, the.launcharg
reading code is unchanged, due to me being unfamiliar with the Acekard theme code, and as a result,.launcharg
s are now unlaunchable in the Acekard theme.
