Could someone tell me what the options do in the .ini file? Also, where can I find the latest compiled 3DS build? Tried going to the Github release page on first post but the latest version is DSi only.

nvmndjsthdtorebotdsI can't get it to appear on my home menu
Which version of NTR are you using? I tried setting the reset_slot1 to 1 and I still just get the white screen after inserting the cartridge.
Thanks bud
You can use either this or TWiLight Menu++ to do that.Can I use the NTR Launcher to boot the original R4 on a DSi?
i only get only a whitescreen on my new 3dsXL. can someone help me?

The ntr_launcher.ini file has changed as of 2.4, I believe. This is what's in the file now:
Can somebody explain what these functions do? I only understand some of them.Code:[NTRLAUNCHER] TWLCLOCK = 0 TWLVRAM = 0 TWLEXTRAM = 0 TWLMODE = 0 SOUNDFREQ = 0 SCFGUNLOCK = 0 RESETSLOT1 = 0 ANIMATEDSPLASH = 0 NTRSPLASH = 0 HEALTHSAFETYSPLASH = 1 DEBUGMODE = 0 LEGACYMODE = 0 LANGUAGE = -1
Thanks for the explanation. As for RESETSLOT1, it most definitely does that, as some flashcarts, such as CycloDS Evolution, need that option enabled to function properly.
- TWLCLOCK: increases the cpu clock speed to 133MHz
- TWLVRAM: allows 8- and 32-bit writes to VRAM
- TWLEXTRAM: allows some/all of the extra RAM from DSi mode, not sure if it's the 32MB WRAM, new IWRAM, or what exactly
- TWLMODE: probably switches to the DSi BIOS, might also force all other TWL options
- SOUNDFREQ: increases the audio to 48 kHz
- SCFGUNLOCK: leaves SCFG unlocked allowing access to the DSi's new hardware, line the internal SD
- RESETSLOT1: probably makes it reinit Slot-1 before booting it
- ANIMATEDSPLASH: either enables the splash or makes it animated, not sure which
- NTRSPLASH: uses the original DS's splash instead of the DSi one
- HEALTHSAFETYSPLASH: makes it show the normal health & safety info on the bottom screen
- DEBUGMODE: probably adds extra logging or so, not sure
- LEGACYMODE: Edit: see below, switches to pre-TWL cart support version of the bootloader
- LANGUAGE: forces a specific language instead of the console's language (Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Korean)
You could try setting the legacy mode option in the ini file. There is no longer a reset slot option as it would be redundent. (turns out the card init code already does that). If you find a setting that work let me know what what it was then do a rom dump of the cart. I can now automatically set settings based on the cart inserted but I would need to know the cart''s gamename/gamecode in the header before I can do that.@Apache Thunder just downloaded v2.6 which you released a couple weeks back and can confirm my R4 and CycloDS launch perfectly on my DSi. My N5 did not launch but I am still doing some testing/troubleshooting. Thank you for making it possible to utilize these old carts on DSi/3DS. Your efforts are much appreciated.
Edit: After installing the cia file on my 3DS I just get an error has occurred. Not sure if it is something on my end or not. Standard 11.17 emuNAND with cia installed via FBI.
Edit 2.0: I have found the error of my ways. If you are running emuNAND you need to have the cia installed to both sysNAND and emuNAND. Now my R4/CycloDS/M3DS Real all boot with the app. The only card unable to boot for me is the N5. Has anyone successfully booted this card, and if so what settings did you use in the ini file. Thank you.
Sorry for the late reply. I set legacy mode in the ini, but unfortunately the card will still not boot. What would be the best way to try and dump the cart? GodMode9 or some other scene dump tool?You could try setting the legacy mode option in the ini file. There is no longer a reset slot option as it would be redundent.

I tried v2.7 with Debug mode enabled as you requested. As you predicted, the N5 still will not boot. I received an error message stating "Error: Header CRC". This is also true for the R4 SDHC. I will update this post with a pic of the R4. The same error message received for this cart as well. All other carts that were working prior still work (CycloDS, Edge, MSDS Real & R4 Original). Thank you for you continued support of this application and my inquiry.I recently updated NTR Launcher:
https://github.com/ApacheThunder/NTR_Launcher/releases
Note the reset slot and legacy mode options have been removed as the primary bootloader has the IPC improvements from the last updates to NitroHax.
Anyways give that a try. It probably won't fix the N5 not booting issue but worth a shot. Let me know if it still boots your other carts as well.
Enable the debug mode in the ini file too if the N5 doesn't boot and let me know where it stops at. If it doesn't stop at any text then it loaded the cart's binaries and tried to boot them but the cart's binaries crashed for some reason.
Unlike earlier versions that used colored boxes that NitroHax used, the bootloader has console text system now so the error codes it presents are actually human readable.
