2) When writing the ini, it drops the first character of NDS_PATH. Rather than "NDS_PATH = library/nds/test.nds", it will write "NDS_PATH = ibrary/nds/test.nds". After fixing this, TWLoader will boot the ini normally.
Hmm... I don't know why this happens. Adding a game works just fine for me.

TWLoader v5.2.0

What's new?
  • French, Spanish, Chinese and Korean translations of the DS/DSi boot screen added.
    Chinese translation includes the iQue DS(i) logo.
  • Just like in the real DS/DSi boot screen, if a Slot-1 card is inserted, the Nintendo logo will be shown below the DS/DSi logo, but if no Slot-1 card is inserted, the logo will not be shown below the DS/DSi logo.
    Also, you can insert or remove the Slot-1 card on the boot screen to make the Nintendo logo appear or disappear.
  • Text is now shown during TWLoader startup.
  • DSi Menu: Text bubble will now say "Loading..." when switching pages, so it'll look less like the app's freezing.
  • If part 2 of TWLNAND side isn't installed, a message will appear, saying to install it.
Improvements
  • Positioning of the DSi boot screen logo is now correctly centered.
  • Spanish translation is improved. (by @umbjolt)
Bug fixes
  • TWLoader no longer crashes with an exception on startup.
  • In part 2 of TWLNAND side, the power button will now power off the system properly, instead of the game still running for 5 seconds with screens powered off.

Please verify that you have the good TWLoader flashcard pack for your flashcard (probably here r4i-sdhc non v1.4.x)

when you activate the debug mode, on lower screen have a message and in the final of this message says "press start to continue"

If you dont activate debug mode....white screen, in games that worked flawlesly before

Is not a flashcard problem because it works ok with the native kernel, but i like graphic style of this app

greetings

Ohhh, so it's a TWLoader fonctionnality... Well, i guess you will need to not use the debug mode until it's fixed, sorry.

I reinstalled from scratch and it does work now on AK2i, thanks... but not without a caveat. Add Games isn't working quite right.

1) It looks at the 3DS SD card rather than the flashcard SD card. I had to create a copy of the flashcard library at the same relative place on the 3DS SD to test.
2) When writing the ini, it drops the first character of NDS_PATH. Rather than "NDS_PATH = library/nds/test.nds", it will write "NDS_PATH = ibrary/nds/test.nds". After fixing this, TWLoader will boot the ini normally.
3) Probably because of either or both of these problems, after writing the ini it crashes with:
Code:
Running fat:/_nds/twloader.nds with 1 parameters
Start failed. Error 1
Press start...
Putting _nds/twloader.nds on the 3DS SD didn't fix this, though.

1) Didn't know that.
2) I'll look into it.

While I didn't get to check the INI issue - I did experience the 1st one (SD Card being read instead of Flash) - I didn't see anything mentioned in the latest 5.2 change log about it, and haven't tried the new update yet (lack of time), but would that have possibly been addressed with it? Or should I hold off a bit more

For anyone still having the ARM11 crash after updating to the newest version (5.2.0) of TWLoader, I recommend you make sure that you have dumped the DSP. Either by using the DSPDump.3dsx in the HB Menu or by installing and running the CIA version of DSPDump.
I had the same problem until I dumped my DSP and now I don't get the ARM11 Crash anymore. (O3DS, B9S 1.2, on 11.4-U)

5.1.0 and 5.2.0 on Luma 8.0 Crash every time straight after the DSi Health and Safety screen (stack dump). Clean installs (deleted and removed existing TWLoader and NAND side with FBI and deleted the original files from sd card before copying the new files over and installing all 3 cia's). Tried running with wifi on and off and exactly the same result. Ive tried this on 3 consoles (my O3DS, my daughters O3DS, and my 2DS) with exactly the same crash at exactly the same point. The most up to date version I can run is 5.0.1. I'd like to see actual proof that anyone has the newest rev running without mods unbeknownst to anyone else. If I move back to 5.0.1 guess what; everything works again. Can somebody upload a video of it running with the version number shown in settings?

Update: got it working with DSP Dump. Perhaps including that information on the github page would be a good idea.
