What is it?

[NDS-BOOTSTRAP]
NDS_PATH = fat:/roms/nds/0022 - Super Mario 64 DS (E)(Wet 'N' Wild).nds
BOOTSTRAP_PATH = fat:/_nds/bootstrap-card.nds
BOOST_CPU = 1
NTR_MODE_SWITCH = 0
DEBUG = -1
LOCK_ARM9_SCFG_EXT = 1
SAV_PATH = fat:/roms/nds/0022 - Super Mario 64 DS (E)(Wet 'N' Wild).sav

Set BOOTSTRAP_PATH to "fat:/_nds/bootstrap.nds".

TWLoader creates the .sav file for the launched game if it doesn't exist. The latest bootstrap release now reads & writes saves.

could you push a release?

I´m to lazy to compile twloader

The files aren't update since 3 days, so how you update they? using twloader? official or unofficial?
Sorry for asking much, i still don't get how to update the files.

I used official

Probably known but Mario Kart works now. Those loading times are horrifying though.

Err... When I installed the new bootstrap and decided to test it out with Burnout Legends (Which works, as in you can enter and participate in races , however the texts is glitching out),after a race i decided to quit and test a new game , however it says no roms are found, ive checked the file directory on my pc , its there however its corrupted and wont let me delete it.

Try formatting your SD Card.

Okay, Thanks!

So I booted up dbz supersonic warriors 2, and it said save file corrupted so I pressed accept, and now it boots to this screen and stays, I haven't edited the save path yet so that might help but progress!

Where does bootstrap save the file that's created when you save your game?

The file path specified at SAV_PATH in the bootstrap.ini file.

I saved in sm64ds and didn't see a .sav file where my game was located.

What's the SAV_PATH?

Okay so I'm confused. I tried booting The Legend of Zelda - Spirit Tracks through TWL Loader but I just get a white screen. Is Spirit Tracks even compatible? I couldn't find it in the Compatibility List so I'm not sure. Anyways here is my nds-bootstrap.ini .

[NDS-BOOTSTRAP]
NDS_PATH = fat:/roms/nds/The Legend of Zelda - Spirit Tracks.nds
BOOTSTRAP_PATH = fat:/_nds/bootstrap.nds
BOOST_CPU = 1
NTR_MODE_SWITCH = 0
DEBUG = -1
LOCK_ARM9_SCFG_EXT = 1
SAV_PATH = fat:/roms/nds/The Legend of Zelda - Spirit Tracks.sav

Spirit Tracks isn't compatible.

TWLoader will create the .sav file in the same folder as the .nds file.

so does the game create the save file when it first runs, or do they need to have an existing save file?
