Hey, when i start SM64DS the screen goes black saying 'an error as occured, press the power buttom to turn the console off' and the rainbow led also appears.

I put all folders from sdroot on SD card root, instaled the cia from _nds/twloader/cia and TWLoader.cia

I'm using AuReiNand, A9LH, 11.2.0-35U.

Do i need Luma for this? I also didnt do the banner thing.

I dont have a PC at the moment so i did all this with my cellphone.

Thanks

I read somewhere that Luma does some patching needed for this to work. I think Luma is the updated version of AuReiNand anyways.

If you need any help don't hesitate to ask here. Also, it's just changing the boot.3ds and some files in the sd card

Ok i got it to work, but when i went to adventure and pick a save file, the game took like 2-3 mins to start (was in white screen during that time).

Then during the 1st cutscene the game was freezing bit, and after that the screen stayed black for another 2-3 mins.

Then when i was going to start controlling yoshi, the game froze completly.

o3DS issues?

Sorry to bother with probably noob issues :S

It's normal for this release of TWL Loader. It uses nds-bootstrap to load retail games and it must code all of the NDS functions and commands for all the games to work.

Here is a compatibility list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M7MxYQzVhb4604esdvo57a7crSvbGzFIdotLW0bm0Co/edit#gid=0

nds-bootstrap will be updating through time and let more games to be played (eventually be able to save, right now it looks for an official inserted cart to save, I recommend not having any DS cart inserted in your 3ds). If you have the latest release of TWL loader you will get automatic updates for both TWL and nds-bootstrap. I recommend checking every week the software to see if anything changes.

Last week I tested 999 and only got a white screen. I turned it on yesterday and after updating I got it to go past the white screen and to play a menu sound.

I see, guess we need to wait for this to get more updates and get more stable.

But having this is already pretty nice :)

Thanks for helping me out :)

I don't like the idea of an app taking control of the led. MCU brick, is perma brick. Not even a hardmod can recover. So I'm no longer interested in this homebrew.
From what I gather you can only MCU brick from this(LED control) on firmwares below 8.1.

If you don't want a perma brick, make sure your 3DS firmware is up-to-date. You can only MCU brick on firmwares below 8.1.
There's an option to turn the feature off.
