How is the tetris homebrew? Is it better then the Tetris and Dr. Mario for SNES or Tetris for NES/Gameboy?

its not bad, but i recommend tetris and dr mario for the snes

this works fine for me, the instrustions were a lil confusing, but it works fine for me in PAL60 its better than the SD elf loader, that kinda hurt my eyes because it was like DoS standards

Being one that takes things literally and is terrible at inferring, I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get this to work. Yes I read the instructions... if you call them instructions XD

Maybe someone could give some help in plain non-translated-jibberish english?

The boot.elf file goes onto the root of the sdcard. Then you have the Homebrew folder in which you will make a new folder for each emulator you have. Example: SNES9x, genplus, etc..
Inside each of the folders for your emulators, you'll have (snes9x example) your snesgx.dol and the boot.elf file. Additionally, if you make a new text document called title.txt, you can enter the name of the SNES emulator that will show up on the homebrew menu. Also, you can make an image that will appear on your homebrew menu, and it's 132 x 95 pixels. There are some samples in this topic if you need them.
You place roms on the root, where they'd normally go. For SNES, the folder's name is 'roms'...
Is that all you needed to know?

Ok, I got the image and homebrew working, but still working on the TXT and name...

EDIT: Got the name half working. It only shows the 1st letter of the name I put in the TXT file.

OK. First install the latest Twilight Hack, then clear your SD card.
Next unzip the Launcher and put the .elf file on the root of the card as well as the "homebrew" directory. Rename the .elf file to "boot.elf". Next go into the homebrew directory and create directories for your homebrew that you want to run, such as SNES or Gameboy. Keep in mind these names CANNOT be more then 8 letters in leignth.
Now your ready to unzip the Homebrew into their newly made folders, renaming the .elf files to "boot.elf" as you go. Since their all in their seperate folders this should pose no problem.
At this point you should note, the "roms" directory for the SNES9x emulator needs to be in the root of the card anyways, as does the "nesroms" directory for the FCEUltra (NES) Emulator. The Gameboy games for RinWII can be anywhere, just keep track of them.
renaming the roms to 8-character names also helps display names for them.

I just wish someone could ecplain how to use the files for the "channel" windows for this system, I can't get them to work.
