nds-bootstrap:

Thanks to the work of ahezard, Gericom, Apache, Robz8, _catcatcat, and shutterbug2000 and other contributors, we can now load NDS games from the SD card, without any flashcard/SLOT-1 card.

Don't expect high compatibility, but do expect many, many updates.

I'm assuming that since Scribblenauts doesnt work, SUper Scribblenauts is in the same boat?

Also, I saw someone say that Mario 64DS doesnt work anymore, but it seems to be still compatible in the list. That's really what's stopping me from upgrading

I just discovered this - installed all from TWLoader Github manually after QR install presented an error - and Mario 64DS works for me on latest Luma/b9s. Not sure if that info helps!

Might just be that specific user having the problem.

Little bump

You could test it yourself you know...

 

[Chakratos]

Tested, Doesn't work. Remains on white screens.
Is there any specific reason why you could not test this yourself?
EDIT: To clarify, I tested both the US and EU versions, neither worked.

Thank you very much!
I couldn't test it myself because i lend my n3ds to my girlfriend for her buisness trip

 

[Poudink]

Test it yourself.

 

[RocketRobz]

Test it yourself.

*if he has the system with him.

Yeah...
Still, I don't understand why people aren't testing themselves when they don't find their favorite game in the list. It would have been faster.

He just said that he doesn't currently have his 3DS to test with.

 

[Poudink]

Then... he can just wait to have it? I mean, he's not gonna play it until he gets it anyway.

 

[Redferne]

He just said that he doesn't currently have his 3DS to test with.

So? "People" doesn't refer to just him...

atm latest versions do not really play nice w/ Homebrew, use 0.2.0 for homebrew. (this is "old" in twloader)
