Do you think the next version will have more DS games compatible?

Tested some homebrew (emulators) with twloader 4.0.3 and nds bootstrap 0.0.3

ApprenticeMinusDS 0.4.0 - freeze after press select
GameYob 0.5.2 - worked fine
SNEmulDS 0.6 alpha 2 - rom selection menu doesn't start
NeoDS 0.2.0 - worked fine

Yes. Also, it's not an emulator, as stated in the OP.

Are the roms in "sdmc:/roms/nds/"?
sdmc is your SD root, not a folder, just to let you know.
Also, in the settings screen, set bootstrap to unofficial, as the release version currently doesn't work.
Here are my settings tell me if they are wrong

So I just updated TWLoader to 4.1. It's looking really nice (GUI) but now it won't find the ROMs on my DSTT? I changed the rom path to match... And now I'm getting a white screen?



Thanks changing the cia NAND to 4.03 fixed it :)

*EDIT*
Automatic Boxart downloading works perfectly! Only wish there was a way to add all my games on my flashcart to TWLoader at once :(


How do you add the games? With the add games app built-in?

SD game compatibility is on nds-bootstrap's side.

Irreparable damage as in the colors are not correct, theirs a fog-like tint on the touch screen, and i thought it was just the cables, but its not. Proof:

We can't say the name of ROM sites, but here's a hint: The Paradise of Emulators
.7z files can be extracted using 7-zip

Hey! I'm trying to run Advance wars dual strike from SD.
Сompatibility list says that it "work perfectly" but i feel like game lagging a bit when you pick unit.
Also freeze on black screen more then it should when batlle animation begin.
It's playable but quite annoying.
Has anyone else tried that game?
Can i get rid of this?

So I've installed the loader as instructed and when I boot up the game (I've tried two, Professor Layton and the Curious Village and Mega Man ZX) it just gets stuck on a white screen after the Health and Safety message. I'm on an O3DS with A9LH and Luma3DS on 11.3.
Here are my settings in TWLoader
GUI
Language: System
Theme: DSi Menu
Color: Gray
Menu color: White
Show filename: Off
Game counter: On
Custom bottom image: Off
Auto-update bootstrap: Unofficial
Auto-update to latest TWLoader: Off
Rom path: SD:/roms/nds

And for NTL/TWL
Rainbow LED: Off
ARM9 CPU Speed: 133mhz (TWL)
VRAM boost: On
DS/DSi Boot Screen: Nintendo DSi
Health and Safety message: On
Reset Slot-1: Off
Console output: On (It doesn't show any output though, just a white touch screen)
Lock ARM9 SCFG)EXT: Off
Bootstrap: Unofficial
Anything you can do to help me?

console output needs to be changed one more time to get debug. should say "on debug"
have you tried official bootstrap?
also try turning off health and safety.
debug should help clarify.
also ive notice white screen lasts a couple minuets on zx.
hope this helps

Yes, just to be sure, in TWLoader, update bootstrap release and unofficial, then, switch release<->unofficial in settigs (or vice-versa) and try to run megaman. If still nothing, try to set a donor rom :)
Yeah, I've tried it in unofficial and release. What do you mean by donor rom?
