Which games are shown as getting stuck on saving?

I manually created some saves with an emulator and copied them over. That fixed a couple of the games that failed to load, which access their saves on launch. I still need to test if saves are working from within the game though. Is that normal procedure - making saves first (nds-bootstrap) can't create them on its own?

Save creation works fine. It gets stuck, because there seems to be a stability issue with libnds' SD code.
It's fixed by waking the console from sleep mode.

Hmm okay that's odd. Never used sleep mode in my tests. Thanks

Yeah I don't, maybe it's just me.. but I still get lots of problems unless I copy an existing .sav over first. I forgot to mention earlier, that most games won't even start without existing .sav and throw the "Guru Meditation Error! data abort!"

That's only an issue with the Acekard theme.

i just tried chrono trigger and final fantasy 4 and they both have problems on the touchscreen. The lists say they work with no issues. So what's going on here? what could i be doing wrong?

What console are you using?
Also, make sure you're on the latest nds-bootstrap version.

Disney's Frozen: Olaf's Quest is missing from the list. As of nds-bootstrap 0.29.0 and TWLMenu++ v12.0.0 the game suffers from corrupted graphics where stuff from the top screen and bottom screen somehow get mixed up rendering the game unplayable.

Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Nanatsu no Shima no Daibouken!" but everytime i try to play it, if i use the DS mode or the DSI mode the game doesn't runs, it keeps at an white screen or a black screen at bottom and a white one, sometimes it runs but the upper screen is sometimes on the bottom one or it has some like glitches in the graphics? (sorry if i have a bad english, i'm from mexico)

Run with NTR clock speed, and turn heap shrink off, if it doesn't boot.

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I'm sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all

    I don't know if people play online or such

    My ps3 short circuited during a deep clean still salty about it after downloading 2tbs worth but SteamDeck okay with emulation still just can't run mgs4 worth shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
