nds-bootstrap loader: Run commercial NDS backups from an SD Card

nds-bootstrap:

Thanks to the work of ahezard, Gericom, Apache, Robz8, _catcatcat, and shutterbug2000 and other contributors, we can now load NDS games from the SD card, without any flashcard/SLOT-1 card.

Don't expect high compatibility, but do expect many, many updates.

This when starting TwLMenu.
It says: "Now Loading..."
And at the top Screen is the Error redscreen. ("Guru Meditation Error! data abort !" )

And it's not only at DSI Theme btw.
It also came when I had the 3DS theme on.

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


It seems like a bug in TWLMenu...

Try deleting the .ini files in "sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/extras".

That also doesn't work. It black screens.
afaik, Harvest Moon DS should work.
Are you on nds-bootstrap v0.21.1?

Oh. guess i'll let it stay for awhile. Yes my nds bootstrap is 0.21.1 and nightly build is on latest also

Edit: Harvest Moon DS (Eur) is working on nightly build but it doesn't work on the latest release and US Version.

v0.21.2

What's new?
  • Save file can now be read from a flashcard.
  • hb: Language set in the app's .ini file is now read.
Bug fix
  • The touch mode switch code has been fixed, so now volume control works properly without a workaround, and the few users with touch not working, should work for them now.

I have New 2DSXL with Luma CFW 9.1 and latest (according to autoupdater) nds-bootstrap. Do I need apply AP patch for every DS rom to play it via TwighLightMenu++?

Do any of you know if Ultimate Mortal Kombat works? When I try to boot it up, all I get is a black screen (New 3ds xl). (Also, the rocket.chat and discord links don't seem to be working)

You know you might as well ditch Mario Maker for 3DS when nds-bootsrap finally works with Aperture Science DS. And it does. :bow: i cant wait to finally check out all of the cool stuff!

Well ASDS isn't being booted by nds-bootstrap, as of recent TWLMenu++ versions.
It's now booted directly, like in nds-hb-menu.

I've had the exact same issue. I've test the japanese, american and european Rom and they all share this problem. Has anybody been able to find a solution?
