You are truly masters of your craft, guys.

These injection programs aren't really needed for DS games.
Find a base vc ds game. Find a ds rom. Zip the ds rom and call it 'rom.zip'. Then place it in 'game folder/content/0010/'.

Still, no need for the attitude towards whoever made NDS2WIIU. They provide a useful tool for people who don't search for this easily obtained information .

@Sonic Angel Knight
Saying "buy the game" is not a solution. There could be plenty reasons why OP can't buy the game (or doesn't want to) right now, and those kinds of suggestions don't help anyone and are actually off-topic.

Thanks

Bro, i need your help with this same problem, i don´t get how you solve it, could you give your discord or some other way to dm you?

It's funny the lengths people went to, to solve this problem, downloading different versions and all that, when the solution is actually so much simpler. Just use FTPiiU, find the location of your copy of Phantom Hourglass on your USB drive on within the NAND, enter it's folder, enter it's 'content' folder, followed by the '0010' folder, and then copy over the configuration_cafe.json file to your computer, open it on your computer with something like Notepad++, and scroll to the bottom, find the 3rd to last setting listed: "fold_on_pause": false, and change it to "fold_on_pause": true,
save the edit, and then copy and replace your updated file back to your Wii U via ftp.

I don't have that in my configuration.json file, how can i solve it?

 

[MikaDubbz]

Oh, well if it isn't there at all, simply add that line into the configuration file right beneath the "arguments": { line. Make sure the comma after true is included

 

[EliasE83]

It didn't work bro i added like this:
"arguments": {
"fold_on_pause": true,
"fold_on_resume_fade_from_black_duration": 1000,
"fold_on_pause_timeout": 300
}

I dunno if it makes a difference but my last setting is at 3000, not 300. Everything else looks right though and should lead to the VC Game believing the DS screen was closed and then opened back up when you hit the home button or the button that brings up the virtual console menu (think it's ZR by default for DS VC games) and then close that menu to get back into the game. Hitting the actual start or pause button of the Wii U isn't what it means by 'pause' in those arguments, in case you weren't aware.

And you're hitting the Wii U menu button and then hitting it again to get back into the game during the puzzle in question?

Yeah, that is exactly how im doing it,

Is there any chance that you will pass me your config file?

 

[MikaDubbz]

Sure, but because I've altered a lot of other stuff with it, where multiple files including that one call each other for information, it might not function properly unless you copy everything else over along with it from the download I provided there, specifically from the included Phantom Hourglass config. If you do download and implement those files, you'll also get a lot more choices for screen layouts too. All of that info and those downloads can be found here

It freezes? You copied over all the content and replaced it, not just the config file?

I solve the issue about the freezing, but it still not let me fix the main problem about the map, which TLOZPH rom did you use?

I have the official US VC release of the game for Wii U and I edited those files, that's where the 'true' line at the bottom came from to begin with, it's in the official VC release of the game on the Wii U.

I do not know what else to do,
I'm about to give you all the files to see what is wrong

Another way you can get it working is by using a ROM that's patched to use a button combo to trigger the lid closing and opening.

Where i can find it?

Oddly enough, I can't find it. I could have sworn somebody made one, but I could be wrong. All my googling just showed me all the D-pad patches. Maybe the advice above about using a base game that supports the lid close function really is the best option for now.
