Something strange... Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow EUR works, but not translated version (Save error and glitching sound).

probably the translation adds some unsupported code, anyway, the US and EUR versions work perfectly.

A patch for the thumb version of the cardId function.
No effect without other thumb patches, though.

Thanks for your answer. For me it means that it's another step for big enhancements in the future!
Good luck, Robz8!

hi I am not sure if this is the right tread to ask this, but i was wondering if it would be possible to add wireless compatibility to the nds bootstrap file. because whenever i try to use wireless on Pokemon games it is unable to connect, and then when i go back to the main pokemon game it boots up to a red screen. I am not sure if this is a problem with nds bootstrap or Twloader. And when i use ds download play it does the same thing. Also i am wondering if a red screen fix is possible, because also when i load mario and luigi bowser's inside story it boots to a red screen and the game is exactly the same size as pokemon heart gold witch boot completely fine with no red screen. So in the wondering i am just wondering if a red screen fix is possible.

The problem is with nds-bootstrap, since TWLoader is just a frontend for it.
The red screen is caused by either a broken or unpatched function(s).

Do you mean a broken/unpatched functions in twl firm/NAND or the nds bootstrap file?

nds-bootstrap, like I said.

Maybe i wish much, but can authors of nds-bootstrap take a look on translated rom Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow? This version work on some old commits, but on new commits... Well, terrifying picture... I can send link to nds-rom PM.

Not sure if this is welcome here, but tried out the newest releases of nds-bootstrap and twloader. Only 2 games i'm interested in at the moment and they both boot to a white screen.

Lost Magic - E
LoZ Phantom Hourglass - U

Warning for 3DS users: Be careful with leaving cards in slot-1. If the save patch fails, you will lose your save data should the chip type match.

Important: For nds-bootstrap to work, make sure your SD card is formatted to FAT32 with 32kb cluster/allocation size.

For homebrew compatibility, check v0.5.1b.

Bootstrap path in TWLoader: "sd:/_nds/release-bootstrap.nds"
Bootstrap path in SRLoader (DSiWarehax): "sd:/_nds/dsiware-bootstrap.nds"

NOTE: Some release notes may be missing.
