Yes, "DS Game Forwarder Pack (Supercard DSTWO)".
The DSTWO(+) isn't a DSTT clone, btw.

Was meaning DS Two not DSTT. Bad acronyonmisation.

Anyway, tl;dr - After reloading EOS realised I'm an idiot and the card was broken anyway. :\. Anyway, here's to me hoping we get redirection out of TWL for Stargate (or Stargate fixes their DS mode not working on CFW). Or I try and actually track down a flashcard in stock :\.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like they're not trimmed then.
Trimming is when ROMs have their padding at the end taken out.
I always hated the term trimming. To me, trimming seems like you're at a barber shop and they are trimming some off the top. Yet trimming a rom is taking some off the bottom/end. I guess I'm just thinking of hair upside down.

It's probably that you aren't using a donor cartridge for it to work. Many games seem to prevent you from playing if there's no way for them to access save data (meaning no donor).

Do i need to buy a ds mario kart cartridge for the game to work properly?

Is there any other games that work as donor roms ?

SDK 5 games need a donor CARTRIDGE of the appropriate save type. It's stated in the change logs. MK DS is for SDK 1-4 games that need donor rom.

You don't need a Mario Kart cartridge for an SDK1-4 donor rom, just the rom itself. For SDK5 games, you must use a corresponding donor cart with a matching save type.

So I recently system transferred from an O3DS to an N3DSXL. My issue is that after freshly installing TWLoader on the new system, absolutely nothing seems to work anymore. It just hangs after the DS boot screen. Any way to fix this?

In regards to the TWLoader, is the DSi menu going to be the exact replica of the real DSi menu (startups and all) or almost the same?

and is the GB/GBC side of the loader getting the same treatment as the DS side? (automatic downloads for cover arts and all)

EDIT: Same for GBA

This looks super cool, but I seem to have developed a problem loading games from my R4i. It was working fine and I started to load games on to it; but then I seemed to reach a 20 games limit and any I installed after that didn't show up until I deleted others. So I deleted them all and now when I add a game it doesn't show the boxart, just a question mark.

I have tried reinstalling the cias from the qr codes, formatting the mSD card in the R4i but nothing seems to work.

Can anyone point me to what I'm doing wrong?

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    For your R4

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
