v27.1.2 (hotfix)

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

• Flashcard
• DSi
• 3DS

What's new?

• MBK settings from the DSi header of homebrew ROMs will now be set. Should fix support for such ROMs that may happen to use differing and/or odd settings.

v27.1.1

Check here on how to update TWiLight Menu++:

• Flashcard
• DSi
• 3DS

What's new?

• DSi-based themes: On DS flashcards, large cheat lists no longer cause a crash. To achieve this:
  • SFX is now unloaded when opening the cheat menu.
  • The complete font is no longer loaded, and instead will load font tiles into an LRU cache.
• Due to the above feature freeing up plenty of RAM space, the DSi-type fonts will now be loaded on all consoles instead of the DS-type fonts.
  • If you're creating a custom font, you now just need large.nftr and/or small.nftr.
• @mentusfentus: Page switch SFX now pans left and right. (#2396)

Bug fixes

• Some weird bugs have appeared since v26.9.0 due to enabling LTO. To fix them, LTO has been disabled in areas where the bugs have occurred.
• Fixed an overlooked bug where the R4 and GBC themes would appear with a blank ROM list if the page number (for DSi-based themes) is not the first.
