nds-bootstrap:

Thanks to the work of ahezard, Gericom, Apache, Robz8, _catcatcat, and shutterbug2000 and other contributors, we can now load NDS games from the SD card, without any flashcard/SLOT-1 card.

Don't expect high compatibility, but do expect many, many updates.

v0.14.1?

Ok definitely I didn't have the latest one. Let me try that one.

 

[Zurdonx]

No.

Well, I can tell there's something wrong with the audio. I don't know why. When I start the game it sounds fine but after 5-6 minutes of playing it starts making a strange echo in the background as if the sound effects are playing double. It is more notorious when you select the character (the voice sounds double). Maybe the rom I'm using is faulty?

EDIT: I'm using the PAL version of the game (AMCP).

No. It's an nds-bootstap issue.

Ok I can confirm freeze still happens with 0.14.1 in about 10~min of gameplay.

nds-bootstrap v0.15.0: Return of homebrew compatibility

What's new?

• Homebrew compatibility is back! Compatibility should be more or less the same as on v0.0.3.
  NOTE: This currently does not work with SnemulDS, due to it having a different interrupt dispatcher from libnds-compiled homebrew.

Bug fixes

• Fixed returning to TWiLight Menu++ with L+R+DOWN+B for 2 secs, if v7.1.0 or later is installed.
  This feature will no longer work with TWiLight Menu++ v7.0.0 or prior, unless if the TWiLight Menu++ CIA from v7.1.0 is installed.
• Fixed save issues in some games that didn't have them before.
  Some games may still have the issue, even with the fix implemented (ex. DBZ Supersonic Warriors 2).

Regression

• GBARunner2 now doesn't work. Use TWiLight Menu++'s GBARunner2 feature, as an older version of nds-bootstrap is used there.

Does touch work in TWiLight Menu++ ROM select?

 

[alphaedd]

[RocketRobz]

But touch doesn't work in the games?

 

[alphaedd]

Weird. Are you launching the TWiLight Menu++ CIA, or are you using DSiWarehax?

 

[alphaedd]

from the cia, old 3ds

 

[RocketRobz]

from the cia, old 3ds

Did you select the correct game console when the game console select screen appeared?

 

[alphaedd]

yep old 3ds-2ds, the second option i think

 

[RocketRobz]

I dunno what's wrong then.
Touch works fine on my end.
