nds-bootstrap loader: Run commercial NDS backups from an SD Card

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.

I don't know if I've said this before, but the pokewalker problem has been solved after moving to a new system because the previous one was deteriorating pretty fast. Does anyone know what part of the 3DS might be responsible for the infrared, by any chance?

In DS(i) mode, the 3DS IR port isn't used.

How can I exactly play DSi ware games on DS in TWiLight Menu++ v25.9.0 ?
Thanks
Place them like you would with DS games: Anywhere on the microSD card except the "_nds" folder.
You'll also need to set a DSi-Enhanced game (ex. Pokemon B&W 1&2, Fossil Fighters Champions, etc.) as a donor ROM. Attempting to launch a DSiWare ROM will tell you how to do so.

There is no such option under Y game menu (set it as donor ROM). As I've done updating correctly...

Hm, I don't get it.
Flip the core is in the list above:
DSiWare titles now supported on DS & DS lite
So how can I launch it on DS?

No.
That's the problem, isn't it?
OK. I'll educate myself..
Thanks
DSi-Enhanced ROMs are basically ROMs of DS games which have support for DSi features.
Examples of games would be Pokemon Black & White 1&2, Fossil Fighters Champions, Classic Word Games, etc.
Here's a list of them: http://www.rfgeneration.com/blogs/pdrydia/DSi-enhanced-titles-an-incomplete-list-1969.php

So in order to launch DSiWare ROMs, you need to set a DSi-Enhanced ROM as a donor ROM.
Without a DSi-Enhanced ROM, you cannot launch DSiWare ROMs. Is that clear?

Oh, Yes! Now I get it!
Problem is my lame english (as always...)
I have to set ANY DSi enhanced ROM to donor ROM an it will host other DSi ware ROM.
I didn't get concept of the whole thing in the first place.
Thanks.

v0.71.1
Included in TWiLight Menu++ v25.9.2 (GBATemp thread)

All changes in this version are only for B4DS mode.

Bug fix​

  • Fixed games not booting if FAT cluster cache size is larger than 0x598 bytes.
    • To make room for the large cache, the game's heap is shrunken. If Memory Expansion Pak is inserted, or the cache size is 0x598 bytes or less, the heap is untouched.
    • To find out if it's larger than 0x598 bytes, turn on logging, launch the problematic game, and open root:/NDSBTSRP.LOG.
    • If you've used nds-bootstrap on a flashcard known to be stable enough with it, and a game wouldn't boot, you may have gotten this situation.
    • This is a useful fix on DSi/3DS if you're running your flashcard in DS mode, as there is no Slot-2 available.

Known bug​

  • If there's a game not working properly, and the FAT cluster cache size is larger then 0x598 bytes, then either backup the flashcard's SD contents and re-add them (as a way to defragment the SD), or insert a Memory Expansion Pak.
