How I can play TWL card type games? For example, I want to play Pokémon Black/White, but the game freezes (white screen) after the intro sequence, and I tried using many AP patched roms, and I still don't get it about the TWL card type.
Try the CPU Speed options, the clock should be 133 MHz

I could play Pokemon Black 2 without issues right after a fresh install without playing around with the settings.
I'm using a N3DS with SD card as the loading method though, perhaps that's why.

Look for a thread named "AP-patch preservation" (sorry, can't post urls yet)
check there first to see if a patch exists.

yeah, tried looking through the patches there already, but didn't see a patch for this particular game. noticed that there are still some patches missing though, so kinda figured there could be a chance no one's uploaded it yet, again if one even exists at all. but I'll just assume the game isn't supported yet, lol.

thanks anyways!

I also noticed that Mario Clock and Mario Calculator crash on startup.
I think this is because it doesn't require a save file, but it still messes up DSiMenu++, causing me to force-reset my DSi.
A way around it?
I actually use both and they work fine for me. Maybe try another dump? Or update unlaunch, I'm not really sure.
EDIT: I'm using v1.4 of unlaunch

v6.1.1

Updating from v6.1.0
  • Overwrite the "_nds" folder and "boot.nds" file on the SD root, with the new ones from the .7z file.
What's new?
  • The AKAIO theme is now bundled as an Acekard subtheme. Select "Adv.EvoI" in settings.
  • The flashcard switch feature now only works with the R4 Ultra (www.r4ultra.com), as the other flashcards mentioned in v6.1.0 would either simply not work, or cause a white screen crash.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed some known bugs, such as crashing when launching a game using the DSi, 3DS, or R4 theme, and the Guru Meditation Error screen appearing when trying to open per-game settings in those themes.

I use Unlaunch 1.4 too. Updating from 0.8 was a pure pain.
I got the dumps from 3D****** in a file called Nintendo DSi (********* *********.zip
I used my own method for installing DSiWare and it worked fine, the dumps are good.

Properties menu doesn`t work for me on Acecard theme. I get Guru meditation error every time i press "Y" or select properties in start menu. In DSi menu per-game menu works normally.
Also there are no game icons in Acecard theme (I tried to turn off animated icons but it doesn`t help).

Re-enter the ROM directory to fix the issue.

If you're still getting the error, even after re-entering the directory and then launching a ROM, then yes.
Still get the error. Also I forgot to mention all steps I took before posting here. After copying files to sd card I forgot to install 2 cias and changed theme to acecard. Properties menu showed but nothing was there, than I changed theme to black and after trying to open properties menu got Guru meditation error. Than I remembered that I forgot to install cias, installed them but still got the error.
After that I tried to change Acecard themes, disable icon zoom for Acecard theme, switch clock option to 24 but still got this error.

First photo - went up 1 time and re-entered the directory with nds roms and tried to launch rom.
Second photo - went all way up and went back to the directory with nds roms and tried to launch rom.
Third photo - went up 1 time and re-entered the directory with nds roms and tried to open properties menu.

UPDATE: It started to work by itself :wtf: Even game icons appeared in game list (but not in smallest list (press 2 times select)). But after I launched the game and returned to DSiMenu++ this error started to appear again. Now I get this error randomly. Sometimes I can open properties menu but in most cases I get this error. Also every time I try to launch ROM I get this error.

UPDATE2: I decided to do some research on how Acekard skins are built to make MonHun Gen skin. After I switched to Hatsune Miku skin to see fullscreen "start" menu everything started to work as it should. WTF?
UPDATE3: Tried to launch DSiMenu++ once again - error came back. Error codes are same as on photos.

@Robz8 Tried to delete _nds folder and copy it from 6.1.1 archive once again but no luck - still get this Guru error.
Sometimes for no reason it starts to work normally. Last time I went to settings screen and back and it started to work. I left the console open on game list for some time (was editing theme graphics i photoshop) and after I tried to open properties menu once again I got same Guru error. Now I get only this error when try to launch rom or open properties menu :(
