twilight menu bejeweled twist dsi enhanced save corruption

catoutthehatlmao · Tuesday at 9:20 PM

I cant run bejeweled twist on twilight menu.
I searched online and found out its a game thats dsi enhanced.
the error does say that the dsi save was corrupted.
I moved the game from the /roms/nds/ to /roms/dsiware/ and now it runs.
I am wondering if there is any way to run the game in /roms/nds/ without the so called dsi enhancements as its just a multiplayer feature.

This might actually be due to a bug in TWLM. I had a similar problem with Pokémon Platinum, and it's not a DSi Enhanced title. Instead of moving the ROM, try renaming it. TWLM keeps per-game configurations that seem to get fubar'd by something, and renaming a ROM causes it to create a new config for the title.

Also, to answer your question, you'd need a flashcart to run the game without the DSi features. TWLM can't use these when a flashcart kernel is used in lieu of nds-bootstrap.

Switching the "Run in" setting to "DS mode" also works, if you don't have a flashcard.

Do you mean that the DSi binaries are missing?

Ah, I wasn't aware that existed.

after ndsbootstrap logo but before actual game logos, I get this error "Save data was corrupt. Press A, or touch the Touch Screen, to erase corrupted save data."
game runs fine when I move it to /roms/dsiware/ but I want to play it in /roms/nds/
if I change "run in" option to ds mode, does that mean /roms/dsiware/ (and other folders) become obsolete?

where is the "run in" setting located?

There are 2 different versions of this game: a DSiWare version, that only includes classic mode, 1 music track, and multiplayer, and the full cartridge game. Which version are you running? I assume the latter.

Select your Bejeweled Twist rom in Twilight Menu and press 'Y'. You can choose to run it in DS mode there.

Sounds like nds-bootstrap made a wrong-sized save file? Or the save file really is corrupted. Try deleting (or renaming) the save file in /roms/nds/saves and launch the game. Nds-bootstrap will make a new save. Should be the right size. If that doesn't work, check your game rom. Could be corrupted.

I've been playing this game through Twilight Menu + nds-bootstrap, both on console SD and a flashcart, for at least 5 years.

the rom works fine on /roms/dsiware/
I tried the run in ds mode after deleting the save (in both /roms/nds/save and /roms/dsiware/save), now I get a red screen with some data error message and lots of register data info in columns

@RocketRobz, playing Bejeweled Twist on console SD no longer works. I also get a red screen after a new save file is created. Something broke. I'm using 27.11.1 on an N3DS.

It has been a while since I last played DS games from console SD. I don't know if it only broke recently, or if it's been broken for a while.

I'll check flashcart next...

Edit: Funny, it works on flashcart. Didn't try with a new save; only with my existing one.

Checking the new save versus my existing one, nds-bootstrap is making the save file the wrong size. The new save created 8 KB. It should be 512 KB.

all other games work and this game if placed in /roms/dsiware and ran with no saves presents (ie making a fresh save) works fine

Bejeweled Twist is broken in Twilight Menu when it's being ran from console SD, for some reason. That sucks.

I tried replacing the new save with my existing one. I still get the red data abort screen, so there is some other issue on top of the newly created save file being the wrong size. Idk what.

Until it's fixed, you could downgrade Twilight Menu and nds-bootstrap, ig. Or wait for a new release that fixes the issue.

Edit to add: Or run off flasgcart, or stick with the workaround you found.

Works fine on my side on both DSi and 3DS, but only in DSi mode. Tested with DSi-Enhanced USA version.
Also, TWLMenu++ uses the save size database from melonDS, so I don't see why the created save size is wrong.

This makes no sense for the game to work in one folder, but not in another.

@signer-ink-beast and @catoutthehatlmao, if the game doesn't work (properly) in DSi mode either, and/or to fix the ROM only working in the dsiware folder, please try re-installing TWiLight Menu++.

EDIT: Next nds-bootstrap version will fix the game not working in DS mode on 3DS consoles (was already working fine on DSi consoles).
The issue was the ROM map for pre-loadable ROMs wasn't being made properly for DSi-Enhanced ROMs running in DS mode.

Ah, okay. If that size works, it works.

Gotcha. So the game has to run in DSi-mode. I had my settings set to run the game in DS mode on the console SD.
