Hi guys, a little confused about certain points.

1) So do I scan the QR codes with FBI, and that's all I need to install?
2) Is this safe (Can I brick myself because it's unstable and a .n3ds refused to boot?)
3) I understand it's a front-end, so will I need to install nds-bootstrap first?
4) Finally, is this functional on 11.3? (I am currently on 11.2 Luma3ds CFW.)

Thanks so much in advance!
  1. Hopefully.
  2. Yes, it's safe.
  3. You can install it with TWLoader.
  4. It works on every firmware version, except <8.1.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Just updated to the latest version.... its still freezing on the Black TWLoader splash screen....
Are you sure? The latest version should fix that problem.

Yeah I downloaded the latest version, manually replaced the files on my SD card, and told FBI to install both CIA which I'm hoping updated them, unless I have to uninstall them first or something.

Booted up the app, white animation, to black screen with TWLoader logo.... and nothing it stays frozen at that till I hard reset my Luma New3DS 11.2.0-35E.

(FYI @Robz8 )
the current release will work even from just the qr code for twloader itself.
you will need to go to settings to download bootstrap, the nand side cia will download and install automatically.

However nothing related to slot1 will work because neither ntr_launcher nor any of the flashcard nds files are downloaded.
The same is true for gbarunner.

tl;dr
only bootstrap for nds games will work when using only the qr code.

.... After creating "log.txt" it booted that was weird! Well thanks for that.
that shouldn't be happening, did you do a full clean install?

, Can you add a list mode by that i mean the games are in a list like a flashcards menu.
I think the whole point of this project is to mimic the DSi UI (and make DS games easier to launch for those who don't want to mess with forwarders)

I plan on adding themes, so it doesn't have to look like the DSi UI.
@Robz8 I'm still getting that issue where itll check the sd card for banner data after I updated to 3.3.1 do you have any ideas what I could try?
The issue actually is that it still shows the message for some users. You can try a fresh install of TWLoader.

I believe that you must firmat your SD card to have a 32kb partition size, some say it helps quite a lot. (Be sure to have a SD card data backup if you're going to do that)
(I formatted my sd card to 64kb partition size and every game stays at a white screen)

So guys,

I re-installed both CIAS from OP QR, i upgraded both nds loaders Official and Un-official.

I boot twl and start MKDS and i only get the DSI welcome screen, then it's a White screen..

Is the game compatibility list still being updated?

Some users keep updating it ;)

Go to TWLoader settings, switch to NTR settings and change bootstrap release to unofficial or vice versa at least one time :)

No, after exiting settings pressing B settings are saved. Can you press X / Y on Settings again to re-download bootstrap again? Also do you have any slot-1 card in the slot?
Remeber to turn off ARM9 Lock and turn on WRAM boost :)

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
