Ok so I fixed all my problems from before after several failed attempts, but now when I launch a NDS file the screens go from white to black and stay black. Any idea what I'm doing wrong this time?

That game might not work. In the OP, there's a list of what games work, and what doesn't work.
Yeah I cannot view that list due to some protection protocol in Google drive so trying to access it was a huge disappointment. In a nutshell I have no clue what does and doesn't work but nearly some of the games people mentioned I do have.

Ok finally got it to work with Mario kart DS, but is this still being worked on for the strange loading lag glitch I just incountered? Like when I go to single player it starts to lag and play music lag then goes back to normal after that and again if another option is selected. Not sure if this is normal so I thought I'd let you know.

Yes. For now this is normal, and still being worked on.

Think I may have borked my install. I have it set to update to the latest TWL and side NAND versions, and I may have jumped the gun on the install right-after it kicked me to the home menu. I guess I didn't let the update settle in, so now it brings up the stock error screen telling me to cold restart my system. It keeps trying to update too.

The update issue will be fixed in the next version.

Try updating TWLoader in settings. It should also install the TWLNAND side CIA for you.

So if I use this app without a flash card or a ds cartridge, will I be able to save? And if I have to use a donor cartridge, which will i have to use? I just want to play sm64ds

Most interesting - it seems that latest release of TWLoader has a little broke-up in it. Whenever I attempt to update bootstrap via setting, it seems to download the official as "official-bootstrap.nds" and unofficial as "unofficial-bootstrap.nds", yet in both cases it changes the line inside .ini-file to "unofficial-bootstrap.nds", thus failing to load bootstrap whenever you try to use official release.
I don't know if I'm the first to note this(probably not), but posting it just in case if it worth mentioning yet again.

To be able to save, you need a donor ROM with already working saving feature. Most fitting donor known so far is Mario Kart DS.

guys,

call me crazy but I can't get the boxart to work.
whether on SD or flashcart during the boot it shows "downloading missing boxart" but they never appear.. I checked and could not find any png file
any idea ?

R

Robz8,

the sd card is not locked.
and the system is able to write things as I can flawlessly add games from the flashcard for example.
could it be that the folder structure is missing to accept the files ?
I deleted all of it and started from the zip file just for the sack of it with no success.
I am dazzled.

R
I have the same problem

To use ROM as a donor, just put it in fat:/roms/nds folder along with every other ROMs you're going to play. If you have installed latest version of TWLoader, just run TWLoader, choose Mario Kart DS and press Select button. Additional menu should show up with various options for this ROM, one of them is "Set as donor ROM". Select it and press A - chosen ROM will be set as donor.

reminder of the problem as it is already a few pages back
valid for both SD and Flashcart storage
even though when launching the application it shows that it is downloading the boxarts nothing appears, and I cannot find any PNG files on either storage

Can anyone confirm that the downloads are working for sd card and/or flashcart ?
and also willing to share the folder structure (where the png are) so I can check if something is missing

thank you
Cheers,.
