Hello Gentlemen, first off Rob I just want to say thank you for all your dedication to this fine project.

I am posting because I am having an odd problem - the infamous "white screen" but under strange circumstances.

I used to have twloader working, but my SD card died so I found an old 2gb one and reinstalled latest version of Luma. Boot9strap.

Reset slot one is on. Installed both CIAs and followed instructions re: copying files to root of SD. I have no flashcard, am loading .nds files off of SD:\roms\nds.

I have tried now on the version right before 5.0, and 5.0, and now 5.01.

Using old 3DS. Everything in Luma works great. Except TWloader. TWloader opens up fine but will not run a single .nds file for me. I have tried 12 now, all deemed compatible in the official list. Loads health and safety, then hangs on white screen.

Everything is up to date. I am begging you guys for help, I have been at this for over two weeks now.

I have tried all possible combinations of menu settings, no permutation works.

I know you guys aren't here to troubleshoot, but I am desperate and would greatly appreciate all help. I have read all threads on Reddit and gbatemp related to TWLoader white screen, none of the solutions that worked for others work for me.

Thanks in advance guys, you are all awesome.
 
On the next version, I hope.

Can you launch the card directly in the TWLoader menu?

Sorry, no ETA.

As I mentioned in my thread regarding the luma "native" support I'm getting the "bootstrap not found" error, well I was getting that with the cart on 1.54 not tested after updating it to 2.30(the last update for the cart).
The cyclods evolved works under ntr-loader tho.

Make sure you're using the official bootstrap.
Try setting Console output to "On (Debug)". You'll see a "Press start..." screen with your selected ROM's filename, before the ROM starts.

Did you extract the files/folders in the "sdroot" folder in TWLoader.7z?
 
I installed it through FBI and the NAND-side(or whatever it's called using the qr code on the 1st page of this thread.
Download TWLoader.7z as well. Below the QR codes, it will say "and Download", not "or Download".
 
TWLoader from titledb in fbi is just gui cia. Is missing nand side and prebuilds, that's why first installation you need to download twloader.7z file :)

Ok thanks, as I said I did d/l the nand side through the qr code. Guess I'll have to uninstall and reinstall with the 7z file?

Just download the 7z file and unzip _nds folder on 3DS SD card root (ex: SD:\_nds) later, you don't need to re-install the .cias because you have them installed

I don't have the latest version of TWL, how do I update it?
