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.

• Fixed sound in games that use thumb arm7 code (such as Kirby: Canvas Curse, Diddy Kong Racing DS, etc).
  Applies to DSiWarehax and forced DSi mode.

I need help on how to play online on DSi (XL, Red 25th anniversary edition)
I have Unlaunch, HiyaCFW and TWiLight Menu++ installed on it.
For the WEP thingy, I can't change it since I don't own or have access on the internet I'm using but my sister does, and it's a family wifi so I'm basically sitting here crying for help. I really want to play AC: Wild World and MKDS online...

You'll need to wait for WPA support to be implemented.

If you can ever gain access, you could try creating a guest connection, which shouldn't interfere with your family members.

So it's gonna take awhile for WPA connection be supported?

I know the password to the website of our family wifi, and how do I create a guest connection?

Is creating multiple WiFi/SSID the same thing for the guest connection?

hello at all guys how can i solve this problem ?

hello at all guys how can i solve this problem ?

Your rom seems to be corrupted, copy it again, but before doing so, I would recommend to do an integrity check to your SD card using SD2test and see if there's problems, then re-format your card.

 

[GodSoul]

Your room seems to be corrupted, copy it again, but before doing so, I would recommend to do an integrity check to your SD card using SD2test and see if there's problems, then re-format your card.

but if I format my sd card, don't I lose the cfw?

 

[DSoryu]

but if I format my sd card, don't I lose the cfw?

If you are talking about luma, if you installed it following this guide, it wont then, just make a backup of your SD card. And for TwiLightMenu++ you just need to re-install it or just restore your SD backup.

yes i followed that guide ... ok now then I make the backup of the sd and after the format and move the backup again on it and see if I solve ... as regards the uninstallation of the twlmenu ++, I had uninstalled it from the dsi ware menu , however if I tried to install the cia again it gave me an error, so I downloaded universal updater and I solved the problem

That's probably it, yeah

I may already said this but, I have some games that do not work with NDS-Bootstrap. The games are: All Spanish Shin-Chan games (Shin-Chan: Aventuras de cine, Shin-Chan: Flipa en Colores, etc.)When I attempt to play these games it gets stuck on a white screen (It's not a crash tho. I can still reset to go back). Also as a Side-note I want to say that Sonic Rush crashes mid-level on World 5.

Hope you can get a hold on these issues.

1. Try turning off heap shrink for the Shin-Chan games.
2. Switch to NTR clock speed for Sonic Rush.

Thanks for the advice, but this didn't work for both cases. It seems that the Shin-Chan games are not compatible yet with nds-bootstrap and I tried Sonic Rush on NTR clock speed and still crashes.

What version of nds-bootstrap are you using?
Also, do the non-translated games work?

 

[FriskyAl0310]

That's probably it, yeah

My sister said I can create another WiFi/SSID after the quarantine/lockdown because I break it during the creation, no one or even the service can't come and fix it.
It's gonna take so looooong...


@Robz8 The Tomodachi Collection has a problem... it saves the first time I save and it doesn't save anymore, can you help me?
