Hi guys, almost everything working here with Ak2i, but when I launch "add games" menu, it shows 3ds' SD card files instead of the flashcard ones... any advices?

I believe this was posted a few pages back but it's a known thing and iirc it can be fixed by using an old firmware of the ak2i. Which one I don't remember lol.

Every time TWLoader is updated I check to see if it's working properly on my 3DS and it still isn't. I have an R4i v1.4 and nearly everything is working. I click on Add Games and it boots up YSMenu but from there all I can do is boot the games, not add them to the TWLoader menu. What am I doing wrong?
You have to get the "_nds" folder from the "flashcardsdroot" folder for all cards, in the TWLoader.7z file, and place that in the flashcard's SD root.

So it wasn't because of this. "The akmenu4.nds file TWLoader uses, thinks that SD access is disabled.
I'll have to force it to think that it's enabled, but that also means that it can't be used as a normal flashcard either."

As a workaround I copied the roms to my 3DS' SD and added them from there. After that, I edited by hand the .ini files created with the correct path pointing the roms in the flashcard SD this time.
It's not the ideal, but the forwarders worked just fine following this.

How should I edit the path if I want to point to flashcard sd: roms/nds?

By default the .ini file is like this:

[FLASHCARD-ROM]
NDS_PATH = roms/nds/1000 - Hotel Dusk - Room 215 (E)(Supremacy).nds
TID = AWIP01

Thank you!

I'm on a trip and not with my 3DS in hands, so I can't check it for a few more days :(
But if your .nds file is on roms/nds/*rom name* at the flashcard, that already seems like the right path
Could you help with this, @Robz8?

It looks just fine, but since it's an Acekard 2i, it probably won't work.

What did the .ini originally look like?

I didn't need to modify the .ini.

I put the rom on the same path in the SD card and in the flashcard, (/ROMs/NDS) then I added the games through the menu and finally deleted the SD games.

It works but I can only add one at a time, after that it freezes and I have to restart twloader.

I'm using a flashcard, is it possible to have the games i have on there show up on the home menu?

I press start and have it set to add games on the home menu but when it loads it just says menu with a question mark in red

Did you extract both the "flashcardsdroot" folders to the flashcard SD root?

The only folders I have on the root of the flashcard sd card are moonmemo,moonshl2, and R4iMenu
In TWLoader.7z, extract the folder in "flashcardsdroot (all)" to your flashcard's microSD card, then extract the files/folders in "other flashcardsdrootfolder/for Slot-1 microSD (Self-explanitory flashcard name)" to your flashcard's microSD card.

I added the file and no longer have the red Menu with a question mark when I try to add games but im still not sure how to add them, when I press A the game just starts
