GUI for DS(i) games, and DSi Menu replacement for DS/DSi/3DS/2DS
*Games are run by nds-bootstrap
Features
- Launch DS, DS⁽ⁱ⁾, and DS⁽ⁱ⁾Ware 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, but only for regular DS games, and DS⁽ⁱ⁾-Enhanced games in DS mode.
- 400+ DS⁽ⁱ⁾Ware titles can be played on DS & DS Lite consoles. (See this list for which can be played.)
- 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 installing TWLMenu++ on a flashcard!
- First DS flashcard UI to show animated icons from DS⁽ⁱ⁾-Enhanced, DS⁽ⁱ⁾-Exclusive, and DS⁽ⁱ⁾Ware games!
- Set the language and region to your preference.
- 10 save slots for DS⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 flashcard's microSD card, and switch to and from there anytime!
- Run the last played ROM on TWiLight Menu++ startup by holding B.
- Play retro games from these popular consoles:
- NES/Famicom, via nesDS
- (Super) GameBoy (Color), via GameYob
- Sega Master System/Game Gear, via S8DS
- Sega MegaDrive/Genesis, via jEnesisDS (or PicoDriveTWL, if ROM is above 3MB) (.gen only)
- Super Nintendo/Famicom, via SNEmulDS
- GameBoy Advance, via GBARunner2 or the DS' native GBA mode, which the latter requires one of these Slot-2 flashcards:
- M3
- G6
- SuperCard SD/MiniSD/MicroSD
- EZ-Flash (before Omega) (Disabled by default, saving does not work)
- See more in this list here.
- View images/photos.
- Play videos using FastVideoDSPlayer.
- 3DS/2DS users: Play DS games in 16:10 widescreen! Not all games will work with this feature.
(Find the tab "3DS/2DS: Playing in Widescreen" for how to use this feature.)

If you have a DS⁽ⁱ⁾, or a 3DS/2DS without CFW, you'll need a DSiWare exploit to run TWiLight Menu++.
Also works with flashcards. Please check the instructions for flashcard users.
NOTE: If you have any issues happening in the DS games themselves on the SD card, please post in the nds-bootstrap thread.
Instructions
Installing
NOTES:
- Please check this list for what games work and do not work from the SD card.
If you're running the game from a flashcard, then you won't need this, unless if you're running B4DS (nds-bootstrap for flashcards).
