The soft reset does not work on my old 3ds. When I select the mini-games it goes to the 3ds menu. Try to delete the TW programs from the system and re-download them, but nothing happened ...

This is an unknown and unfortunate bug that still needs to be identified, it rearely happens on n3DS but on o3DS seems to appera a lot more.

Hello.:)

Thank you very much for your free Update.:yay:

Everything is working fine on the

New 3DS XL - Reset works in 30 of 30 Cases on a Row.:)
DSi (XL) - Also everthing ok.


Flashcard - unfortunately many Games are no longer working now (for Example New Super Mario) - they stay now on 2 White Screens.
The Reset is not working (maybe that is normal on the Flashcard ?)
Is there Something I have to delete ?

Thank you for your Advises.:)
What flashcard are you using for B4DS?
Also, yes, reset not working in B4DS is normal.

That is not the Answer I want to hear, my Friend.:P

*Sigh*

This is how we are treated ........ poor R4 Clone Users we are ...:cry:
Try deleting "B4DS-patchOffsetCache" folder at "fat:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/", and see if it changes anything.
If not, you can always use a flashcard firmware to boot those games.

Your favorite "Advise" did it:

Turn Heap Shrink: OFF

Now my R4 Clone Flashcard works again with your awesome TWiLight Menu.:bow:
(I know it,it is a GOOD Flashcard.....:P).

Thank you,my Friend.:)

good for you
but seriously this is why I use YSmenu on my flashcart and TWLmenu++ on my hacked DSi XL
because YSmenu is meant for almost all flashcarts and TWLmenu++ is mostly meant for the actual systems themselves
edit: note: my flashcart is also an r4 clone but it’s an r4isdhc.com “r4i gold pro 2020” cart
it has served me well for the few things twlmenu doesn’t do well- soft reset booting back to the folder menu, fast loading times (but in all seriousness why does it take nds bootstrap a whole 30 seconds just to start running Pokémon black 2?), that kinda thing).

I have a question... Do I need to watch this EVERYTIME I try to Soft Reset? Because it's annoying and time consuming. Just imagine that you're Shiny hunting in a Pokémon game, now it would take more time because of this.
I'm with the latest version (12.2.0) on a N3DSXL

Turn on "Save FAT table cache" in TWLMenu++ Settings.

Yeah I have the same concern
There should be a thing where twl or bootstrap stores the bootstrapped version of the last rom played somewhere and can just boot it nigh instantly when you launch the same rom again
Edit: I know save fat table cache is a thing but I’m using a 64gb cart and it borks it. Plus it already has the 128kb fat cache saved from before I updated!

Thanks! And now, how do I turn this off? It may be one time only thing, but everytime I download a new game rom, I have to wait for this to finish

Make sure "ramdump.bin" at "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/" is 32MB.
This message should not appear when starting a newly added ROM every time.

    heres ps4/5
    emulation (it is far from playing actual games yet but its something) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe71pCjC9U
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges

    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
