Homebrew [Discontinued] TWLoader - CTR-mode NDS app

[MushGuy]

TWLoader will create them if they don't exist. Try deleting the ROM_FOLDER and FCROM_FOLDER settings in the .ini file.

It still doesn't work. I think the program itself needs to be fixed.

Are you using a N3DS?

no im using old 3ds

TWL Slot-1 Launcher does that and it can also launch any flash cartridge, even on New 3DS, which is quite useful. You could try adding something like that

That won't be very useful for many flashcarts. Older flash carts use incompatible arm7 code/ram entry addresses. You'll have to boot them with NTR Launcher instead which TWLoader already uses. It would be better to simply improve NTR Launcher. Unless you can RE TWL_FIRM and find out how it blocks the ram/code space those old cards try to use. Then by all means patch it out and submit it as a push request to Luma.

Well, I tried clearing the folders and creating the missing ones, and I'm still getting the crashing error

Also, tried running a forwarder game from the Homemenu, and now I'm stuck in a white screen after the DSi boot screen. I didn't have this problem with the latest version although I wasn't be able to use the "Add Game" feature (and I updated the app and the files for the R4i SDHC RTS flashcard several times).


Not sure what I'm doing wrong

I want nitro hax support for pokemon black and white though can it be fixed for dsi games.

The forwarder templates haven't been updated in a while.

I've been trying to add support for launching DSi-enhanced Slot-1 cartridges directly, since NTR_Launcher (which is used by TWLoader) doesn't support loading the DSi-specific binaries. Here's what I've found so far.

• We're currently using APT_PrepareToDoApplicationJump(0, 0x0x0004800554574C44ULL, MEDIATYPE_NAND); to start the TWL-side CIA of TWLoader. This works fine.
• Simply changing it to APT_PrepareToDoApplicationJump(0, 0, MEDIATYPE_GAME_CARD); works for 3DS cards, but reboots to the Home Menu for NTR/TWL.
• During testing, I accidentally swapped the media type parameter (#3) and the flags parameter (#1). This resulted in the screens shutting off. While holding the power button to shut off, right before it shut off, I saw a flicker of an ARM11 exception from Luma. Turning the system back on, I was greeted with another ARM11 exception before the Luma splash screen loaded. (That's bad.) Leaving the system off for 30-60 seconds and then turning it back on resulted in it booting normally, so I'm guessing my accidental parameter swap was still kept in memory for a while, which was confusing NATIVE_FIRM.

FBI also seems to have the same issue launching NTR/TWL cards (it reboots to Home Menu). DevMenu 11.4 doesn't even try; it says it cannot launch TWL cards.

I'm thinking I might need to get the banner SHA1 HMAC from the DSi header and use NSS:SetTWLBannerHMAC before trying to start the game card. If I can get this working, then the next step is to implement support for animated DSi icons because why not.
[/list]

I believe the reason you can't launch NTR cards directly is that you need a hmac hash key from Home Menu (don't think it's the same one used for logo.bin hash though). I forget the details.

I cleared the boxart and icon files, and I'm still not getting the crash.

I am.

Are you using O3DS? I have it installed in my N3DS and I get the crashes.

You can or cannot?

Nope. N3DS.

So then how is your folder setup? Maybe it would help... I only just updated the app with the options menu and it broke, everything was working fine before i updated.

I'm still using the old rom paths.

• roms/nds
• roms/flashcard/nds

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Exactly the same, is from the zip pack on github. There is already a ROMS/NDS folder with a Mega man ZX rom in there.

I'm beginning to think it's not the folders. It must be something in the application itself, or the TWLNAND side cia.

Try deleting the ROM_FOLDER and FCROM_FOLDER lines.

The TWLNAND side CIA can't be the problem.
