[PikachuPrincess23]

Strange i was able to save on Fire Emblem for GBA.
But now I'm playing NDS games and i have plans to buy Ez flash for GBA.

How to disable annoying yellow wi-fi led when playing roms? Changing "games and apps - rom read led - none" has no effect at all.

DSi 1.4.5J, UnLaunch 1.8, HiyaCFW, TWLmenu 8.2.3, nds-bootstrap 0.19.5.

i had install twilight menu + + on my sd but there is'nt sound and gbarunner2 freeze

 

[Deleted User]

Im trying to make the menu look as stock DSi as possible. Is there any way to get all the stock apps, and the card launcher to show up on the main screen. (And also use the original white theme instead of the dark one if possible?)

If not, I'll probably just stick to stock tbh

You can switch to the white theme in the GUI settings by setting the subtheme to white. I'm not sure if you can still make forwarders to DSiWare, but I know that you can download them using a tool that can download from the NUS.

(I'm not sure if I can say the same of it here)

Is there any way to change fonts or use multilingual fonts? I want to apply Korean fonts.

What game are you playing? If it's Pokemon gen 5, then it's normal. Gen 5 always uses wifi. Does it happen with a physical game like NSMB? If so, ur led is probs broken. I mean in singleplayer ofc.

Hi there Robz8! I just signed up to this site (obviously I am interested about the site), I have found out about this software and I gave it a go and it's pretty amazing! A current issue I have right now is that I might have activated something by accident on the settings in order to cause it to be blank after the DS(i) "Press touch screen to continue" screen. I assume its somewhere between the .ini files. I don't mind doing adjustments to fix the files for my Old 2DS as I have worked with lots of simple/understandable) .ini files before.

Delete "settings.ini".

Delete "settings.ini".

It actually worked for me. Thank you so much! Also, as I said, your software is amazing. Keep up the good work! And also, have a great day.

I feel like its an annoying thing to ask but.

Is there a reason as to why we can't boot Moonshell 2 from the SD card yet, but Moonshell 1 boots up correctly and is usable?

Is it still impossible to save game in snemulSD, Gameyob, and GEnesis emulators? Is this feature even planned? Without even SRAM saving, isn't having these emulators kind of pointless?

Looking at the github commits, I am surprised there is so much fuss and bother about the look of the launcher menu....I mean most people do not start up their DS/3DS units to play with/admire the UI, but spend 95+ percent of the time in a game. Shouldn't game launching functionality be prioritized higher than tweaking message text and logos/animations?

You might want to proofread your documentation. The correct passive and participle forms of the verb "to run" should be "be run," "has run," and "had run" not "[be/has/had] ran."

Hello.

The Emulators are sadly completely outdated and nobody updates them or wants to program an actual one.

Only our friend @Gericom has the "endurance" for push his GBARunner project forward.

@Robz8 is a very nice guy and he "give in" the request of many,many users to integrate the Emulators.

I think he will be remove it with the next update.

Thank you.

is that gbarunner you are talking about worth it to figure out how to use for a new nintendo 3ds system?

 

[Alexander1970]

Yes and no.

YES: most of the games works very good to perfect including save/load function.

NO:The new UI is work in progress,a few games having save and playing issues at the moment.

For your 3DS I think a better solution is mGBA:

Spoiler: personal note:

My personal opinion on GBARunner.
Do not expect an perfect solution like an EZ Flash device for GBA/Nintendo DS/DSL.
The Application works very,very good,i use it very often on my DSi XL with TWiLight.

Thank you.

For the best compatibility you should use gba virtual console injection which uses the gba hardware embedded in your 3ds. The advantage of gbarunner2 is not needing to make an inject for every game you want to play.

Hmm... I think your LED is the issue. twlmenu doesn't run the dsiware, it just prepares them for boot. If it's too much, turn off wireless.

Moonshell 2 requires more patching.
Also, Moonshell 1 isn't completely usable, as it can't play videos. You will need the Rocket Video Player to play videos.

You can save in GameYob and (I think) nesDS.
You can't save in SNEmulDS and jEnesisDS, because nds-bootstrap sets up a RAM disk containing the launched game for those emulators, and there is currently no way to write the save file back to the SD card. A RAM disk is made, because arm9 can directly access it, and those emulators cannot natively access the SD card, even when patched to do so.

I'm guessing you haven't looked at the nds-bootstrap repo.
The game functionality commits are there.
