Hacking 2ds, DS play freezes on Nintendo logo.

[Unreal2522]

I have a 2ds with the latest luma and twlightmenu updates.
When downloading a game through the download play app it freezes on the Nintendo logo, and on the main device says a communication error as occurred. I have tried many games and they all do the same, I have tried using TWLFix-CFW. It works fine by when launching the rom through twlightmenu and joining the group through the rom.

Download play is a bit of an oddity, I've had the same issue in the past with flashcarts that I was never able to figure out.
As far as I can tell, TWLMenu++/nds-bootstrap should support download play for most games. There could be exceptions, but for it not to work on any of them is definitely not normal. Make sure you don't have any funny patches enabled or anything, since download play only works with unmodified ROMs.
Edit: And there is a thing called cloneboot that supposedly allows it to work, I don't know if this is a built in feature that is always enabled, or you have to manually enable it, you could look around in the settings to see if you find it.

Yeah, I just updated luma, and twlightmenu and it randomly started working.
