Is there any way to get the DS games I played through this to show up in the activity log? They don't show up in the activity log games list. Would just be nice to have. If not, no big deal.

Use the forwarders.

The version you mentioned is the updater version, not the app version.
Also, we plan on fixing the cheats soon.
What game is crashing?

Any, at random times, like when I press L+R+SELECT on some of them. Other than the rare crashing, the cheats just dont work in general. Ive updated everything, so I dont know why its acting like this. I hope to see this fixed soon- other than that, you guys are soing great! Thank you for making a DS emulator for my 3DS! I cant tell you how greatful i am! Keep up the great work!

"Any" isn't really an answer, because there are most later games that crash due to AP measures, and is fixed by AP-patching the game.

This is not an emulator. The menu and DS games (loaded via nds-bootstrap) are ran natively in the console's DS/DSi mode.
The only consoles emulated are NES, Sega MS/GG, GB(C), SNES, Sega Gen/MD, and GBA (but partially, as some parts (such as graphics) are ran natively).

Is it normal for it to get stuck on some creating save file?

No, but when that happens, close the console's lid, and open it again.

huge question, can save data from an old supercard dstwo be converted to work in this?

Those are raw .sav files. They work by putting them in the "saves" folder in the .nds ROM folder.

RocketRobz · May 13, 2019

v8.2.0

Includes nds-bootstrap v0.19.3.

What's new?

Save file creation is now not only done if the save file doesn't exist, but if the existing save file is 0 bytes (or 0KB).
Does not apply to the Acekard theme, so if you're using that theme, and the game doesn't save, relaunch the game, and hold L+R+START+SELECT to restart the game with the save file actually created.
Holding L to disable heap shrink, should now work in the Acekard theme.
You no longer need to hold L for the following games:
- Advance Wars: Dual Strike (EUR)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Magical Starsign (EUR)
- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time (EUR)
- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness (EUR)
- Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2

Hi, I have some questions; I have a 2DS with firmware 11.7.0-40U, homebrew Rosalina v2.0.0 and FBI cia instaler. With that I just need to follow the "Set-up (CFW 3DS/2DS users, Manual method)" and then "Creating a Ram disk for homebrew"? Thanks!

Yes, but "Creating a Ram disk for homebrew" is only for DS homebrew.

What's the filename of both your ROM and save files?

Thank you very much for the update. As you promise, now Magical Starsign EUR works fine without holding L... in the Acekard theme!!!

Please forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to use cheats for DS games whose ROMs are on the SD card? For example, when I have a walk-through-walls cheat for Pokémon Diamond in the usercheat.dat file in the extras folder, that cheat shows up in the cheats menu for Diamond (X+Y), but when I enable it and start the game, it doesn't work. I've also tried cheats for Kirby Canvas Curse to no avail; even though they show up, they don't work when I enable them.

Here's some more information in case any of it is relevant:
DeadSkullzJr's Cheat Databases usercheat.dat file
TWiLightMenu v8.2.0 with Slot-1 microSD access off
New Nintendo 3DS Sys 11.6.0-39U
Luma3DS v8.0 with game patching enabled

Oh I see. Sorry I'm pretty new to all of this. Thank you very much.

The cheats not working is currently normal. It will be fixed in a future version.

Thank you, but what you've said suggests they were working in an older version. Do you know which version they were working in? I will use an older version in the meantime.
