I guess I should have noticed that the loader itself does not look at all like YS and that it doesn't load YS :v, works now, thanks! Definitely a better looking interface than YS or R4

I don't think it works. Try changing the Lock ARM9 SCFG_EXT option.

"quiSystemInit complete
fatInit failed!
*** PANIC ***
c:/code/NeoGeo/NeoDs/arm9/source/template.c: 68
systemInit failed"
Well, i can run DS games perfectly on this, why this isn't working?

Probably due to a regression in nds-bootstrap (the .nds loader).

Can someone help? Whenever I launch TWLoader it crashes after about one second of viewing the frozen homepage. It then throws an error saying "An error has occured forcing the software to close. The system will now restart. (Unsaved data may be lost.)" After that, the sytem restarts. Unlike some other people I saw, I did follow step 3, so I'm unsure why this is happening. If it helps, I followed the Guide quite recently and should have everything important up to date. I also have a the r4i gold 3ds rts, but it crashes whether or not the cart is inserted. Any ideas?

There's a bug in the latest version that's fixed in the next version.

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

The latest, NeoDS 2.0
Try 2.1.

Use this update, here's the thread it's from, and name your Neo Geo folder to "neogeo". Read the readme and make a folder for you NeoGeo roms. Put all that on the root of your SD card and the NDS in the proper TWLoader rom folder and it should work. I just checked that mine still runs on the latest bootstrap and all was fine.

Did you try disabling the audio?

Lots of NEW in v3.0!

I've been working on this version for days, and now I bring you v3.0!

What's new?
  • Brand new logo by @Joom!
  • Slot-1 icon/text is now read! (thanks to @GerbilSoft)
  • 3DS carts can now be launched as well!
  • Box art for Slot-1 (NTR/TWL only)!
  • The Galaxy Eagle flashcard is confirmed working!
  • You can now manually change the language of the GUI.
  • Your name will be shown at the top-left of the top screen, the next time you launch a rom in TWLoader!
  • Per-game settings! Press SELECT, and change some settings for a specific game!
  • Added a start menu! You can change the game location, and start GBARunner2!
And that's not all! I'm also bringing you...
  • A 3DSX demo version! Yep, you heard right! OFW users can now try out TWLoader, before they decide they can switch to CFW!
Improvements
  • L and R buttons are now used for switching pages!
  • The "?" box art images are no longer solid black.
  • .sav files are not created for homebrew roms.
  • A rom path can now be set manually in "settings.ini"! It should be set to ROM_FOLDER, and/or FCROM_FOLDER (for flashcards).
  • The DS/DSi boot screen now has all 6 languages!
  • The AKRPG, O-R4, R4iDSN, and R4i Gold RTS flashcards should now work with the "Add Games" feature!
  • TWLoader no longer checks for existing boxart every time it starts, and checks for missing boxart if they don't exist.
What didn't change?
  • The startup logo.
  • The logo in "Add Games" mode.
Bug fixes
  • TWLoader no longer crashes when there's no .nds or .ini files.
  • Got rid of some memory leaks! (thanks to @GerbilSoft)
  • Some other bug fixes I can't think of.
So, with all that said, enjoy the new version!


Files changed in sdroot folder (update them, please):
  • _nds/twloader/settings.ini
  • _nds/twloader/cia/TWLNAND side.cia
  • _nds/twloader/loadflashcard/ak_rpg.nds
  • _nds/twloader/loadflashcard/r4.nds
  • _nds/twloader/loadflashcard/r4idsn.nds
File changed in flashcardroot folder(update it, please):
  • _nds/twloader.nds
