Gambia, The
Bootstrap is only for the SD card.

You missed this step.
But thats the problem, I did exactly that. I did reinstall it again, and now it works, instead of just throwing me into the TTMenu. Guess it was just a weird bug.

Nope, not possible.

Yes, although if you have Wireless on, the TWLoader GUI will download and install them, if they're already not installed.

My flashcard [R4iSDHC Gold] used to work with TWLoader, and now it refuses to boot up games from it from TWLoader. I put the required files on the SD card and the flashcard's microSD card, but nothing boots, and it stays on a blank screen.

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

Nvm, fixed it myself, I realized I had an outdated version of the TWLoader Side CIAs.

What do you mean "settings"? TWLoader settings or System Settings?

TWLoader v6.6.0

What's new?
  • GitHub has dropped TLSv1/1.1 support as of 22 February 2018.
    As a result, the update features have been disabled, so you are currently unable to update TWLoader or nds-bootstrap.
  • NES support added! NES games are ran via nesDS.
    Place the ROMs at "sd:/roms/nes".
  • Game limit per page has been increased from 20 to 40 (the limit in SRLoader)!
  • Animated icons with 8 palette lines are now shown correctly.
  • akMenu/Wood theme: You can now press SELECT to enable/disable akMenu/Wood icon scaling effect.
    Useful if you don't want to be distracted while looking at the animated icons.
  • New GBC icon (by @Uupo03).
  • R4 theme: You can now press START to go to settings, instead of SELECT.
Bug fixes
  • The Add Games menu now caches DSi-Enhanced banners with the correct size.
    Re-extract twloader.nds from the "flashcardsdroot (all)" folder, to the "_nds" folder of your flashcard's microSD card.
    Also, please delete the banner files at "sd:/_nds/twloader/bnricons/flashcard", then re-add your games to get the fixed banner files.
  • Fixed flashcard games not launching in R4 and akMenu/Wood themes.

Updating TWLoader could be fixed by using the TDB API since TitleDB has been updated to cache all CIAs instead of just those in archives. Hopefully another workaround is being looked at for nds-bootstrap updates especially since for unofficial updates it is now necessary to compile them yourself which is well beyond most people (and a royal pain for everyone else).

For GBARunner2 you need a folder called gba at the root of your sd with your roms and the gba bios named bios.bin inside

As for the gameboy games they go in SD:/roms/gb

Thanks, that's a start. I was thinking more along the lines of a complete guide and put here: https://github.com/Robz8/TWLoader/wiki/Rom-loading

Like, did you know that if you press R in GameYob, you get the menu.... actually just a link to this page: https://gbatemp.net/threads/gameyob-a-gameboy-emulator-for-ds.343407/ or this info copied to the wiki

So, from what I can see, support for Acekard 2i has been dropped lately (can't seem to find it in main menu, neither in first post under "(Optional) Run ROMs from your Slot-1 flashcard"), but I still have a question - are you planning to bring it back/fixing it in a future?

I'll need the flashcard itself to do fixes for it.
Until then, you can use SRLoader, which has a similar GUI to TWLoader, and can be run right on a flashcard.

TWLoader v6.6.1

What's new?
  • Update features are back! You can now update TWLoader and nds-bootstrap again! (thanks to @thejsa)

EDIT:

TWLoader v6.6.2

Bug fixes
  • Fixed bug where per-game setting for NES games aren't loaded, avoiding a TWLoader crash.
  • Fixed major bug where if a banner file doesn't exist, TWLoader will crash.

@Robz8, can you explain how to get the values for the custom caching settings?
I understood that each game can have either blacklists or whitelists, and each list specifies an area of the rom but I don't know how to figure out the proper values for "ROM_LOCATION" and "GAME_CACHE_ADRESS_START"

Those are the addresses in RAM. 0C000000 is the start of RAM, and 0DFFFFFF is the end of the 32MB of RAM.

Try redownloading the ROM hack.
If that doesn't work, try the official release.
