Homebrew [Discontinued] TWLoader - CTR-mode NDS app

[Link_of_Hyrule]

Sorry if I asked this before, but what model of the 3DS are you using?

I'm using an old 3ds XL currently.

I think there's memory leaks happening again.

I think there's memory leaks happening again.

That's frustrating it must be hard to debug for Homebrew.

@Link_of_Hyrule Try this build. This no longer loads all the .nds banner icons at once.

Can I put my homebrew roms in a different folder? I don't want to mix with retail roms.

Currently, no.

TWLoader v2.3

Improvements:

• The ":" in the time at the top-right now blinks.
• Some textures are freed up if they aren't in use.

Bugfixes:

• Game counter bug if you have 100 games, is fixed.
• Once again tried to fix the crashing bug of reading banners from really big roms.

Addition:

• Added 80MB SystemMode CIA in case the bugfix doesn't work.

Dunno what else to do if it doesn't work, unless if I know how to reproduce the bug.

Great news neither of those worked

EDIT: I put only these in the folder to try with some big roms and it loads just fine but if all my roms are in the folder it crashes.

Try setting GAMELOC_SWITCH (in [FRONTEND]) to 1, and FORWARDER (in [TWL-MODE]) to 0 in "settings.ini".
The .ini files for games in the flashcard will appear, then press R to switch to games on the SD Card.

It seems that the code to get an icon from a .nds file isn't really stable.
The only solution I'm thinking of is to add an option switch to either read icon from .nds files, or read icon .png files.

Anyway it can just dump the icons out of the NDS files or download them like it does the boxart? Maybe that's a better solution than reading them each boot? EDIT: 17 games appears to be the limit now.

I really like the little details that you are working on the app,like the ":" in the timer and the volumen icon,I really appreciate it.

Try using 67mhz ARM9 CPU Speed.

The same thing happens using 67mhz ARM9 CPU Speed =(

What about VRAM boost? Is that on?

 

[angelhp]

64mhz + VRAM= flickering screen
133hz +VRAM = the same
