LodeRunner (Japan only release) is listed as working.

But I can't get it to run? TWLoader freezes at the "Loading..." screen with grey squares?


set the donor rom to mario kart ds....


@Robz8 i think alot of people are having this problem. I think alot of people are not reading the 1st post let alone the rest.

could you add a "feature" which tells about this. becuase people think the games just work right off the bat.

I'm guilty, but yes it needs to be mentioned or enforced in the app.

You're out of luck. You'll either need a new flashcard, or try loading ROMs from the SD card.
Aww... Well, SD card roms still work, so definitely not a problem with my 3DS's DS compatibility, so yeah. I guess it really is the flashcard. But, what did TWLoader do to brick the card? :unsure:
I had no idea it could actually brick it. I mean, sure, there were no game forwarder files for R4iTT, but I thought if the add game feature didn't work, it just flat out wouldn't and the card would be unharmed.
Thanks for replying, by the way! Keep up the good work!

Okay so I just now found this whole project and I'm still reading into it. From what I see it's not perfect and won't run most homebrew? Or do I understand something wrong?

I tried loading the Homebrew "A Touch of War" but it simply says "bootstrap not found" :( So I guess it's not yet supported.

TWLoader didn't brick it. YSMenu did.

Actually, hb-bootstrap.nds is missing in "sd:/_nds". It's in TWLoader's.7z file.

Now works - I have to wait on a white screen for a good while before the game loads. Maybe warn about that, too?

I tried AltWFC on pokemon pearl with TWLoader by using a patched rom
when i go in the internet settings of the game it works, however when i try to go online in game it looks like it's stuck in the wifi loading screen (not even an error or anything, it's completely stuck, it loads infinitely)

Not possible. You have to go back to HOME Menu to start TWLoader again.

Ok, I´ve tried the buttons combination but it won´t work either. How about add games to menu screen, any ideas? It show my card boxart (as a star wars game) and then just open r4 menu... thanks!!

The button combo only works for games on the SD card and DSTT cards.
So you're saying the box art only appears for games on your flashcard? If so, that's odd.
What is your flashcard called?

Ah, on SD they was ok, but I buy a r4i SDHC and the box art of the games won´t appear. On SD they show normal! Sorry if it´s not supported, I´m making some tests here, thanks for your attention and good work!!

It's up to either ahezard or shutterbug to add more support for games.
Hi I wanted to ask if pokemon storm silver will ever work?
Since SoulSilver works, StormSilver should work.

Sorry if this is a noob question but I'm not 100% sure after reading the main post or the FAQ, and 427 pages is way too much to search through.
If I want to load a game, let's say Disgea.nds, using my AK2i and this loader, do I place the Disgea.nds file in the AK2i's microSD or do I place it on the 3DS's SD?

AK2i doesn't work correctly with TWLoader. You'll have to use SRLoader for that.

That seems like important information to put in the main post. The "(Optional) Run ROMs from your Slot-1 flashcard" section doesn't show anything that indicates that it won't work despite showing similar warning messages for other cards.
