v6.1.0: SD and Flashcards unite! (Beta)
Update instructions
- Overwrite the
_ndsfolder andboot.ndsfile on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file. - For DSi CFW users, put
titlefolder fromCFW - SDNAND rootfolder, onto the SD card root.

This update of DSiMenu++/SRLoader/DSisionX brings lots of new features!
- Acecard/Wood theme, which is a straight port of the original! (huge thanks to @RonnChyran!)
Place your theme insd:/_nds/dsimenuplusplus/akmenu/theme, and go into DSiMenu++ Settings to use it. - Red, blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple colors have been added to the DSi Menu theme!
- Flashcard can now be accessed if you're running DSiMenu++ from the SD card, and can be used as a secondary device!
You can press Up/Down (DSi/3DS theme) or the R button (R4 theme) to switch between the SD and flashcard at any time.
The only downsides are that they shouldn't spoof a commercial game (with it's icon being used), and it has to make the console autoboot into it, or else the flashcard cannot be accessed/supported.
These flashcards are supported:
-DS-Xtreme (Untested. Unknown if it will work.)
-DSTT (Untested. Should work.)
-Original R4 (Untested. Should work.)
-R4 Ultra (Works.) - DSiWare can also be launched from a flashcard, if DSiMenu++ is started from the SD card. (Requires Unlaunch on DSi.)
It works by copying it to the SD card, so Unlaunch can run it.
After saving in the DSiWare game/app, please start DSiMenu++ again to transfer the save data back to the flashcard. - Further improvements to overall app stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.
NOTE: This is a beta release, so there may still be some bugs left in.

More info here.
Known bug
- Reported by Dragios:
there is an issue of double (same) icon or wrong game icon display after soft reset. It seems to fetch the next game icon within the list.
v5.5.1: Let's fix touch more!
UPDATE 8/21/2018: Settings screen now shows the version as v5.5.1.
If you already updated to v5.5.1, please redownload this, and overwrite the _nds folder on the SD root, with the new one from the .7z file.
UPDATE 8/21/2018 No. 2: v5.5.0's bootcode.dsi is now included, as the file from this version was just showing black screens.
Update instructions
- Overwrite the
_ndsfolder andboot.ndsfile on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file. - For DSi CFW users, put
titlefolder fromCFW - SDNAND rootfolder, onto the SD card root.
If you're asked to overwrite, clickYes. - On 3DS, install the two CIAs in the
ciafolder.
What's new?
- Touch support has been added to the DSiMenu++ GUI!
Bug fixes
- DSi/3DS theme: In order to avoid font corruption, the font is now reloaded whenever scrolling through games in the menu.
- DSiMenu++ will now tell the launched homebrew to use NTR touch mode, if the homebrew (with DSi header) is recently compiled, and if not using DSiWarehax.
One example is GameYob (built into DSiMenu++), which has been recompiled with touch mode checking (included in latest libnds), so touch now works both in and out of DSiWarehax. .launchargfiles are no longer shown on 3DS/2DS.
Known bug
- In nesDS TWL Edition (also built into DSiMenu++), touch still only works for DSiWarehax users, as recompiling it with latest libnds does indeed fix NTR touch, but emulator decides to crash after a few seconds.
