Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

[banjo2]

nds-bootstrap (included with TWLMenu++) can already save games.

Looking at his other thread replies, I think he's talking about SNES games

@retrogamefan Another case of a translated ROM not working due to AP-measures.

@Robz8
Here are the .ips patches for the Spanish and Italian translations . I have also attached the translation patches.
As always, copy to _nds/TwilightMenu/apfix.

Have been checking the nds-bootstrap compatibility list and looking at games not currently properly working. Could you please tell me using TwiLightMenu (as it may be able to help in maybe fixing a couple of games):
1. @ what location are games loaded in RAM?
2. @ what location are games saved in RAM?

Regards,
Retro

Sorry if I have many trivial questions lately because I last use TLMenu like one year ago and when I come back there's so many improvements... So back to the question, I have boxart for my DS ROM, it shows in the rom list but not show in DS Classic Menu, I thought the past release show it in the Classic Menu, is thah normal behavior?

1. <= 24MB (or 16MB for SDK5) ROMs are loaded to 0x0C800000 (or 0x0D000000 for SDK5).
   If "Extend ROM space in RAM" is enabled, then <= 28MB ROMs are loaded to 0x0C400000. The extended memory gets enabled when it wants to read the ROM, and then gets disabled to ensure no issues.
   If the ROM is bigger, then that RAM space is used as LRU cache.
   
2. Game saves are written to the SD card.

Bug fixes

• These games now work with auto heap shrink:
  • 007: Quantum of Solace
  • Transformers: War for Cybertron: Autobots
  • Transformers: War for Cybertron: Decepticons
• Fixed Guru error when booted via Memory Pit.
• Fixed DSiWare detection by checking unit code in the ROM as well.
  Fixes support for some New Super Mario Bros. ROM hacks.
• Tried to fix Slot-1 launching code.

Known bug

• When using Unlaunch as a Slot-1 Launch method, the game won't always boot, so keep trying if it fails.

Pokemon Black, White, White 2 & ACWW carts now work with the latest update.

 

[Alexander1970]

Hello.

Thank you for your (Easter ??) Update.

v13.1.0
Known bug

• When using Unlaunch as a Slot-1 Launch method, the game won't always boot, so keep trying if it fails.

Will this "maybe" fixed in the next Update(s) ?
If not,you should maybe make it "visible" on the First Page/first Post´s Spoiler Section..
It maybe saves a lot of "try it again a few Times" Answers.
(Like "Turn off Heapshrink").

Thank you.

5th gen Pokemon games, Golden sun DD don't work with Unlaunch method only with Direct mode.

What happens with Unlaunch method?

 

[Takeshineale128]

black screen

 

[RocketRobz]

black screen

That was originally why I didn't add Unlaunch as a Slot-1 launch method.
Didn't know that would still be the case.

I hope other DSi-Enhanced carts work though.

 

[MarioPicross]

I can't play Jam with the Band and Warioware DIY, the nds_bootstrap screen says "An error has occured".

Make sure you're running the games in DS mode.
Jam with the Band shows an error message after the nds-bootstrap screen, so that still won't work.

EDIT: nvm. The issue persists with DS mode.

The DS Classic Menu now shows the box art for the game inserted into Slot-1.

You need to install CIAs of DSiWare.
DSiWare doesn't work in nds-bootstrap yet.
