BTW have you noticed Protrait of Ruin doesn't load anymore after you aded the cache settings? It used to boot before on the old versions without the custom settings but crashed when it tried to play the intro video, now it stops at the white screens.

I never tried Portrait of Ruin in a while. For me, it black screened after the company logos.

TWLoader v6.4.0
EDIT: v6.4.1 fixes an overlooked bug.

What's new?/Improvements
  • SDK version reading/checking has been ported from nds-bootstrap!
    You no longer need to hold Up to run games that use TWLSDK/SDK5!
  • Volume icon is white if top border is off in DSi theme. (requested by @piratesephiroth)
What's new?
  • SDK version for selected game can be viewed in per-game settings!
  • Added Moonshell 1.71's BlueMoon theme as R4 subtheme. About time a nice theme gets added!
  • If donor ROM is not set, SDK3-4 games will not be launched, as a message will appear (for DSi/3DS theme users).
Bug fixes
  • Fixed Nintendo logo not showing in DS(i) boot screen, if page isn't 1 in DSi/3DS menu ROM select.
  • Fixed LED color setting for GB game being saved to a .nds' .ini file, instead of the GB game's .ini file.
  • Fixed game counter in 100s being out of bounds in R4 theme.

Also have you tried homebrew? NeoDS isn't working on the latest versions of nds-bootstrap either and it used to work fine for the longest time, even before TWLoader was created.

Yeah, that's normal for now. The bootstrap for homebrew currently isn't stable.
We're waiting for RAM disk support for homebrew.

Oh!I think I get it.I got plenty of old ds games laying around.

Edit:How do I set up a donar cart?
Just insert it in the cartridge slot. It should have the same save type as the rom you want to run.
As the text says it can't save to the SD yet so I think it will write to the donor cart SRAM instead.

Press SELECT to set a donor ROM, not START.
I know that... But it seems like the option disapeared (maybe cause of the text?)

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

The text was confusing in my language... Soyrry for that :P

Wait no actually there's a problem... In french it said "LED color",in english, '"Set as donor rom"

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
