Is there a .sav file on your SD card? If so, try latest unofficial bootstrap.
Yes, There's a .Sav file. I downloaded another rom from Mario Party to be sure if it was the rom or not, but still the same problem. I tried the unofficial bootstrap, same problem

Did you set Mario Kart DS as donor ROM?

Hello, when I first downloaded twloader, it worked. However, after messing with a few settings, the roms are not loading anymore. Any fixes?

Try updating both bootstraps.
Also, do the ROMs white screen or black screen?
The roms do not show whatsoever. Only a program called "Add Games" and the Settings are on the loader.
Edit: on the SD card, the roms do show, but on the program, the roms do not show.

Ah. In the TWLoader start menu, change the game location to SD card.

Gambia, The
uh i don't know what exactly I did, but i managed to get stuck at a whitescreen, when loading from my acekard2i (also launching the crad trough twl). Tryed all boottraps and with reset flashcard, but no luck. Flashcard in settings is correct. Card launces normal in LUMA and on an unmodded DSi (1.4.4E). It worked before! What the hell did I do? T.T

I'm trying to get Ermii Kart DS working since I saw on the list that it works.
I have TWLoader on 5.5.1, my NDS bootstrap is on 0.6.0-rev2 and I have Mario Kart DS as a force-use donor but I get a white screen.

Are you using the demo version of EKDS? The non-demo version doesn't work.

Hi! I tried installing it and running a game but the bottom screen says an error occurred please press and hold the power button. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

To fix the error, boot into SysNAND, run FBI, then install the TWLNAND side CIAs.

TWLoader v6.0.0 has been released!

NOTE: Even if you updated through TWLoader, please overwrite the _nds folder on the SD card root with the one in the .7z file, to include GameYob.

What's new?
  • Support for GameBoy/Super GB/GB Color ROMs added! (loaded via GameYob)
    You can change ROM type in the DSi (START menu) and Wood themes.
    ROMs go in sd:/roms/gb.
    Box art goes in sd:/_nds/twloader/boxart/gb, size should be 128x115, should be in .png format, and must be named game.(s)gb(c).png.
  • (partial) 3DS theme added!
  • DSiWare CIAs can now be installed+loaded!
    You can launch a CIA like a .nds game. They go in the same folder as the .nds files.
  • You can now change sound frequency from 32kHz to 48kHz for higher sound quality in DS games!
  • Option for bootstrap loading screen has been added. (Currently only for unofficial bootstrap.)
  • You can now access Settings in the DSi theme's START menu.
  • Animated TWLoader logo in Settings screen.
  • Banner text is centered again (except for (S)GB(C) ROM names).
  • NTR/TWL mode settings is now simply known as NTR mode settings, since it's mainly for NTR DS games.
  • Turkish and Finnish (by Uupo03) translations added.
Improvements
  • Upgraded from sf2dlib to pp2d!
  • Some translation improvements. (by @Jolty95)
Bug fixes (Some may not be listed.)
  • Starting GBARunner2 no longer changes the SD ROM path.
  • Some minor ones.
Known bugs
  • When updating bootstrap, the screens are slightly glitchy.
  • When changing the LED color or using the Search feature, the console hard crashes (with the Rosalina button combo not working).
  • Touch screen controls do not work in GameYob, due to the TWLNAND side starting with NTR mode touch screen, so you'll need to press R to open the menu.

    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.
