From Plailect's page:
Binaries compiled with new libnds will fail to boot when launched by 4swordshax (just shows a white screen).
I think this is just the issue of this incompatibility.
But who can fix it?
Both @zoogie and Plailect don't accept posting new issues on B9STool.

Lets try something different.

Rename boot.nds to b9sTool.nds
Then download this
https://github.com/devkitPro/nds-hb-menu/releases
And put BOOT.NDS on sd root.

Use that hbmenu to boot b9sTool.nds.
Just found that The Guide wiped out 4swords JPN support from DSiWare save injection. (But didn't wipe it out from DSiWare game injection)
The 4swords JPN save I use is quite the same as what this page contained.
https://3ds.hacks.guide/installing-boot9strap-(dsiware-game-injection)

(Edit) Available to enter HB Menu 0.5.0 but white screen again on b9sTool.nds (11.8 one).

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Only HB Menu 0.5.0 can be entered.
All the later versions cause white screen.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

HB Menu 0.5.0 can enter B9STool 2.1.0 properly.
But that's all.

Use this site to inject your dsiware instead
https://jenkins.nelthorya.net/job/DSIHaxInjector/build?delay=0sec

Then try b9sTool 4.0.1 as boot.nds.

How did you fixed this problem?

Edit; I downloaded the file but still got the white screen. Which version did you use?
white screen means that it's not loading boot.nds

copy all the files off your SD card,
format it with guiformat as FAT32 with a 32768 allocation size
then copy all the files back to the SD card

There is no 32768 allocation size on Fat32, only on exFat. Am I supposed to format it to exFat?

Edit: It's a stock 2GB sd card though... Does the size matters?

It gave out an error saying "FAT32 mush have at least 665536 clusters, try to specify a smaller cluster size or use the default."

Yes this is a problem. You cannot allocate 65535 clusters with that cluster size when your card is so small. Fat32 requires a min. of 65535 clusters. Try with max. Clustersize of 16k.

16k Doesn't do the trick eighter. I should maybe try with a different card with a larger size this time.

Worked!
The new save updated the payload that perfectly support the latest B9STool now.
Thanks very much!

Do you mean that updated version of 4swordhax injection exists?
If so could you tell me where i can download it?
