I installed TWLoader today. Updated my 3dsxl to b9s today too. Mario Kart is running just fine, but the reason I instaled TWLoader was to play Megaman Zero Collection. Doens't matter the ROM I download, it gets me to a blackscreen or dont quit the white loading ROM. Someone can help me, please?
As far as I know Mega Man Zero Collection is broken currently, though you may also need to force-use the donor rom (described in the OP).

I've got TWLoader working nicely with Mario Kart DS, but the main reason this interested me was those fun minigames in NSMB DS... No matter the copy I try, I get a red top screen, and a black bottom screen. The list says NSMB should work, as it's highlighted in green. Maybe I've missed something?

It's an issue with nds-bootstrap. Only the main game works.

Ah, damn! My favourite part of the game right there lol. Thanks for the quick reply!

I was also wondering about 'Metroid Prime Pinball'. The game plays pretty slowly until all the elements have played once, and are in the cache (I assume. I don't know nadda lol). Is there a way to speed up games which lag like that, or basically just wait for TWL to grow a bit more?

nds-bootstrap will have NDMA SD read soon, so that should help with the lags and long loading times.

Check your SD card for errors.

It's not my sd card, cfw and everything works fine. It was working until I installed the box arts for the app then it started acting up. Everything loads up correctly except I can't move in the menus.
Delete the boxart folder at "sd:/_nds/twloader". TWLoader will download the box art.

I did that, but the application still has the message. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the cia, but that didnt work either.
