Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

• Flashcard
• DSi
• 3DS

What's new?

• Added a better version of the DSi Menu music, with better quality and lasting up to 8 minutes and 39 seconds to ensure no parts have been left out! In order to keep the filesize of TWLMenu++ down, the better music has been made available as an add-on.
  • Required space on the SD card: 32MB
• To improve visual accuracy of the DSi Menu UI look, the original user color palettes with white edges has been added.
  • For this change to not affect past custom themes, support for a new theme .ini setting called UsernameEdgeAlpha has been added, and is disabled by default.
• If the emulators and multimedia applications are left over from your previous TWLMenu++ installation(s) from before the add-on feature was implemented, the Virtual Console and Multimedia add-on flags will be created in order to continue using those applications without the need to manually install the add-ons!

• Pressing A in the image viewer will now switch the dithering method used for displaying 32/24-bit color .bmp images or all .png images.
  • Temporal dithering (used every time when opening an image) basically works around color banding by switching dark/bright pixels in rapid succession.
  • Normal dithering pauses the pixel-switching, revealing a grid-like pattern.
• Added a Sonic-themed TWLMenu++ splash for Sonic the Hedgehog's anniversary!
  • The splash jingle has been added since past versions.
