I know you guys are working on it, but I can't wait for translation-patched games to be supported. I'm dying to play some Fire Emblem!
hb-bootstrap.nds is missing from "sd:/_nds". Get it from the latest version's .7z file.
Actually translation patched games do work. Its just that Fire emblem heroes of light and shadow is either using THUMB, which is not supported by nds bootstrap at the moment, Or sdk5/DSi Enhanced. (The latter is being worked on.) Im actually playing a english translation of tales of the tempest on twloader right now.

You can enable that in settings. It works for games on the SD card.
EDIT: Oh did you mean TWLoader, not bootstrap?

Yeah I mean't for TWLoader itself, also i'm having an issue. I use the Flashcart method and i'm on the latest version. When I launch a game it gets to where the flashcart is supposed to be launching the game but the top screen goes white and the bottom screen is black. It does this for all games, i'll mess with the settings to see if anything else works.
Are you running GBARunner2 by selecting GBA as ROM type?
If so, keep trying. Booting it isn't always successful.

Oh, haha, my mistake then. I'll rephrase, I hope Fire Emblem works sometime soon! Great job so far devs!
Hey, Robz8, I love the way TWLoader works, but could you help me with a little problem I'm encountering?
I tried to use TWLoader with my R4iTT flashcard (specifically the one on the left on this webpage without the screw), then I pressed start, set game location to Flashcard, then pressed "Add Games", wondering what it would do. I was greeted with a white screen. I restarted the 3DS and then tried my flashcard directly from the home menu. Apparently, the white screen was still there, even without using TWLoader. Somehow, TWLoader bricked my flashcard!
What did TWLoader do to my flashcard that made it white screen every time it's booted up? Know any way to fix it? It worked perfectly fine before. I even tried re-formatting and re-downloading kernel files and switching to another micro SD card, but it stays on that accursed white screen. Heck, reset Slot 1 is already enabled. I really screwed up. I'm using an old 3DS, by the way.
Help me Robz8. You're my only hope.
If it's worth anything, I bricked my flashcard trying to run a patched rom with DSATM. The only way I was able to recover it was by using the ntrboot flasher to flash ntrboot to it, then recover it using the flash backup that was uploaded on the 3ds.guide. Not sure if your flashcard supports ntrboot or if anyone has a flash backup of it made with the ntrboot flasher, but that is a way you can recover your card.

I'm using a flashcart for TWLoader. When I try to load a game, it goes to
Somebody please help!
And then it freezes, I can go back to the home menu. TWLoader used to work for me before but now it doesn't. I tried with the "DSTT" folder and the "R4i Gold, R4i-SDHC" folder, I get the same thing everytime.
Somebody please help!
Make sure "loadcard_dstt.nds" is at "sd:/_nds/".
If it's already there, try reinstalling TWLNAND side.

Yeah it's there, and reinstalling it doesn't work.
I will say *sometimes* it works but then goes into a white screen. I enabled the option to stop white screens for slot-1 cards so I don't think it should still happen.
Do you have TTfwd.dat on the flashcard's microSD card root?
Also, make sure the flashcard is inserted correctly.
Make sure to have the correct bios for gba at the root of your gba folder like this SD:/gba/bios.bin

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer -

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
