Homebrew [Discontinued] TWLoader - CTR-mode NDS app

[GerbilSoft]

Thanks, it worked

So the problem was a corrupt banner?

I don't suppose you saved any of them before deleting... :V

That having been said, I can try to reproduce this with some manual banner corruption.

Well, the games are working now, but the Homebrews doesn't work with this update anymore, gives bootstrap not found, i suppose that's the bootstrap-dldi right?

In settings press X or Y to download boostrap

 

[vander263]

Well, i press x and y and nothing happens

Update the TWLNAND side CIA.

Ok.
https://github.com/Robz8/TWLoader/blob/master/gui/source/download.cpp#L62
ACU_GetWifiStatus according to libctru ac.h return: 0 = not connected, 1 = O3DS Internet, 2 = N3DS Internet. Doing R_SUCCEEDED(ACU_GetWifiStatus(&wifiStatus)) && wifiStatus will return between 1 and 2 if your console is a) wifi turn on and b) internet connection found

Also the void is not (theoretically) causing any problem because if we parse data to wifiStatus method, it won't compile at all

yes i see now that it checks for the internet actually being connected and not just the wifi, so then option1 is my prefernce too

i found a new candidate here
https://github.com/Robz8/TWLoader/blob/master/gui/source/download.cpp#L81

before:

checkWifiStatus

after:

!checkWifiStatus

Finally, I updated the app, and it finally works, no crashes! I can even confirm it reads icons and banners from NDS cards... Except for my CycloDS. Now I am not able to launch the flashcart through TWLoader, but I still can with NTR Launcher. Is there a way to still be able to launch flashcarts for the next update?

There might be no way, now that TWLoader tries to get the icon/text from the cart, which it can't for CycloDS.

^How do this? it's because i'm running it on EMUNAND and SYSNAND system, so i have to install it in the two, right?

 

[GerbilSoft]

after:

!checkWifiStatus

This prevents files from being downloaded if Wi-Fi isn't connected, since the download would fail.

Yes.

so maybe the check always failed for me before but it allowed downloads anyway?

 

[vander263]

Okay i'm gonna try

L81 is !checkWifiStatus. I dont understand you message sorry

I'm not sure if FSUSER_CardSlotIsInserted() returns true even for cartridges it doesn't recognize. If it does, then we can just assume that no banner means an "unsupported" NTR cartridge and allow launching anyway.

L81 is !checkWifiStatus. I dont understand you message sorry

the ! was not there before the main.cpp for split into download.cpp (about 10 days ago)

Supposing that is true, if I put my bricked R4 it would attempt to load too that might cause an exception(?)

But this is working well. Also checkWifiStatus is called twice most of times. If no internet, just exits the method using the return estatement

As it is right now, it'd probably just fail to load the banner, resulting in "No Cartridge".

So what's so different about CycloDS from the other flashcarts? Maybe GerbilSoft could look into it? Or how about an option to disable icon reading in the meanwhile?

Anyway, I'd like to test it xD
I like to discuss those things because this is something new to learn

Thanks man, now the homebrews are working
