I've playing in PH, come to Ocean king temple in third time and this puzzle with closind DS don't work. I tried enter-exit to Home menu, to VC menu - just nothing happened. I seen Wii U walkthrough on Youtube and there home menu works. Everything were fine, even clocks sinchronized - Beedle shop, you know. I'm trying two versions - one made by myself with Nds2WiiU (based on NSMB, basics on Manual link), and second official release - with background picture and PH manual. Both through last Loadiine. When I return from menu screen fast become more lighter, as it should be, but it's do nothing.
Why the hell it's won't work?

I'm going to chalk some of the Grammer up to you not speaking English, but from what I gather is you have an injected version of Phantom Hourglass, and a legit copy you actually purchased and neither work in a certain spot using Loadiine. If you play the game without using loadiine does it work in that spot?

I don't purchase a legal copy. I download it. I'm not tried to play in PH without loadiine.

you need to make sure the phantom hourglass inject was made on a compatible base game that has the close lid option, if it does you either need to enable it on the configs if the option is not there then you download an inject that wont work to do that, if its enabled all you have to do is enter the vc menu and exit and the screen will fade in showing the close lid, its works fine on loadiine if its a compatible inject on a base game that has that option even if disabled.

Phantom Hourglass is at disscount now $6.99, haven't played the game throughfully but it's probably an issue with Loadiine.
It's not an issue at all with Loadiine it's an issue with the base game used to do the inject not having the option to close the lid the op has to do the inject with a base game that has the close lid option.

Can I inject PH in this all_inclusive_DS_game and transfer save from old injected game? Or maybe there exist a way to turn some options on in already injected game?

afaik no one managed to inject a vc save file for the ds yet.

Do this on your VC folder rom open the configuration_cafe.json file on an hex editor, then searsh for strings, search for "fold" without the "" obviously , if it finds the fold on pause line just change to set it on, it if its not there, there isnt much we can do for you on that base rom.

I checked both roms folders. Official and my hand-made. And they both don't have a "fold", "close", "DS", "shut", "clock", "time" words. There's 90% is video options. It's must be exactly "fold"?

I'm already start, I don't want to start again from begining.
yup the option is called fold on pause, if its not tehre you got a base rom older than the vc release of zelda so yeah nothing we can do for you, you need to get a new vc inject or even the original wich has that option and either hack your way to transfer a save(dont ask me if its even possible to transfer savefiles between wiiuvc injects) or start over on those releases.

As it turned out my "official" dump were not official. I download official US VC dump, checked it's hex, found this "fold" and add it in my injected game. And nothing. Everything like it was (hell, why? Theis difference is only in this lines). Then I transfer saves by just copy files from old rom folder to new. It works with both EU versions ("official" and mine). Of course it's won't worked with US dump, everything freezed just after I solve the puzzle - but I solved it, there was a sound. So I will try to find original VC EU dump and try it.
And I sure if I buy a game I can transfer saves in it. But it's not so interesting.

you cant just add a fold line if its not on the base VC source code teh code does nothing its the same as you added basicaly nothing since no code is executed since no referent at all on the rpx/rpl.

if you have a vc base that has those options you can activate them if they arent, but if its not there, adding it does nothing.

you cant replace anything... if it has the config it has it, if it doesnt then theres nothing you can do about it, you cant add an option to an old VC base.
