nds-hb-menu VS TWiLightMenu

DSi modes uses nds-hb-menu bootstrap's TID by default, and is a bit slow to start as it needs to go through the native 3DS OS first no matter what

For most games you should be able to just put its .nds file on the SD card like any retail game, just check for a README file which will probably explain if there's anything special you need to do. Also flashcard kernels aren't great at running homebrew so if you have issues try run TWiLight Menu++, HBMenu, or GodMode9i and run the game from there.

YSMenu should work fine for homebrew... You could try installing TWiLight Menu++, HBMenu, or GodMode9i and load the game from there, those are better at running homebrew than flashcard kernels.

Hmm, try using either nds-hb-menu (you can rename the BOOT.NDS to whatever and boot it like a normal homebrew) or TWiLight Menu++ to load it if you haven't already. If that doesn't help then reformatting the SD with SD Formatter may help.

It may have something to do with homebrew compatibility on your flashcard, you can try your luck with devkitPro's Homebrew Menu, it sometimes fixes homebrew compatibility issues.

Hmm, you could try loading nds-hb-menu (the BOOT.NDS, you can rename it), TWiLight Menu++, or GodMode9i, then loading GBARunner2 from one of those.

Try loading it from nds-hb-menu, TWiLight Menu++, or GodMode9i.

Try loading GBARunner2 from TWiLight Menu++ or nds-hb-menu (the BOOT.NDS, can rename it) instead. Flashcard kernels often have issues running some homebrew.

and this for the BOOT.nds https://github.com/devkitPro/nds-hb-menu/releases/

Huh that's very weird... Can you try loading it from nds-hb-menu?

Use Twilightmenu for NDS https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases

Hshop is basically the only one and has all 3DS games. If you're looking for NDS games you need twilightmenu with roms from somewhere like vimm's

DS games can be loaded on a 3DS via a program called TWiLightMenu. If you need help with installing and using it, make sure to read the available documentation. If after that you still need help, ask in more related subreddits, i.e. r/3dshomebrew or similar.

If you're running AMCS on the DS with an R4 card, autoload the TwilightMenu++ with NDS-Bootstrap, as the official R4 firmware doesn't cleanly launch homebrew. - TwilightMenu++

If you've got a 3DS / DSi, there's also the option of using homebrew to play DS roms on it...then you're essentially playing PMD on native hardware! Look into TwiLight Menu++ (3DS will require loading custom firmware such as Luma3DS) if you're interested.

Find the game as a rom, put it into your roms folder on your SD card, (should be /ROMS/GBA), install TwilightMenu++, an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface.

TwilightMenu++ is an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. This should let you run NDS, NES, and SNES games without any additional plugins.

Alternatively, you can use TwilightMenu++, which is an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. However, I don’t like using it on the 3DS. If yours is broken, try downloading it again from the Universal Updater app or try this.
