Feature Request:
AKAIO 1.9 on Acekard 2 (no "i") crashed when launched with TWL Slot-1 Launcher.
However Bliss OS k10a runs well.

So I wish an AKAIO launcher.

EDIT: AKAIO Works after I changed a TF card. (quite weird).

Is the "twltool.exe stopped working" message normal when compiling?
I do get a twlBg.cxi of 557KB but I get a black screen + freeze when launching nds-hb-menu-ds and that CycloDS Launcher.
Edit: Nvm fixed, you need 2.7 python, not 3.x, now the cxi's size is >1MB.

Tried my very old M3 Real (SD slot is on the top) with the launcher and the WoodM3 firmware and it doesnt work...
Only white screen but i can go back to the main menu of the 3DS.
Well i can at least still use the sd card

Ok try this:

CycloDS_Stage3Launcher.rar

If it works I'll add it to the first post. Put the NDS file in SD://NDS/CycloDSv1.nds location then install CIA.

Got something to appear! It said self tests failed and asked me to read from the microsd, which then said it couldn't find update.evo. Progress!

Edit: This was using your CycloDS launcher. Dumping my own ROM and using the new hbmenu got me a white screen.

No not progress. :(

It did that back when I tried it as a stage2 launcher. Looks like the only way it will work is if the card is booted directly. :(

Unless we get someone to RE the rom and patch out the integrity check. It will actually perform an update from the update.ievo file. (so it's able to read the card just fine)

The integrity check fails because maybe due to the secure area. Rom dumpers always decrypt secure area though...So I guess we'll have to patch out the integrity check then.

Re-dumping the ROM and loading it through the new hbmenu, I notice that, very briefly (before it becomes a white screen) I can see the CycloDS loading screen and bar. Man it feels so close :(

Yep, I'm also getting the integrity check failure using my own dump. CycloDS is too good lmao

Edit: White screen when launching the .nds using hbmenu.
Edit2: Before the white screen you can see the logo for about 0,1 seconds, so it's loading something.

Also when I did a Dump and Decrypt Cartl (full) it said:

Invalid secure area.(33A8EFF4 061B0429)

Might that be a factor as well?

Well, my normal pc currently has no internet connection and I therefore I cant download cygwin, so I use an old laptop at a different place which only has a 32 bit os.
Can't you still install Cygwin

Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

I just looked up offline installer for cygwin, and there exist some, so yeah, I guess I could try it. It's just that asking for a not very time consuming patch so that I can install and test it, and, if any error ocures, have a more efficent methode to solve it in the form of internet access, should not hurt all that much. So if nobody wants/can help me, installing the offline version will be the thing I do.


Edit: Also sorry for beeing responsible for 5 slight off topic post in this thread.

She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
