How to install or reinstall TWiLight Menu
WARNING
When using this with SD cards that are 64GB or above, make sure Save FAT table cache
is disabled in the Games/Apps page of TWLMenu++ Settings. Your SD card may become corrupt, due to an issue with saved FAT tables by nds-bootstrap.
If it's already turned off when corruption happened, then it's due to an issue with either libnds or libfat, or your SD card may be dying.
NOTE for 3DS/2DS users:
If you are coming from TWLoader, uninstall all of the TWLoader applications using a CIA manager (for example, FBI)
NOTE for flashcard users:
