Homebrew [Discontinued] TWLoader - CTR-mode NDS app

[Nomelas]

I can't wait for the next release that fixes DSTT carts so I can start using this

 

[Autz]

well, i tried the launcher with an original R4 with Wood R4 (and works on normal DS and with Slot-1 launchers) and i get white screen past the DS interface. Also, i get a crash when saving settings of the launcher.

I'm going to update Luma just in case.

The crash will be gone in the next version. For now, just suspend TWLoader by pressing HOME while in the settings screen to avoid the crash.

Exiting to HOME menu will save the settings?

 

[RocketRobz]

Exiting to HOME menu will save the settings?

Yes.

 

[Autz]

Yes.

Well, still white screen even after configuring the type of flashcart will load. Going to update Luma later to see if it solves the issue.

Luma isn't the issue.
Did you extract the flashcard pack?

 

[Autz]

Luma isn't the issue.
Did you extract the flashcard pack?

Oh, i didn't see that. Re-trying...

 

[Autz]

Well, i used the R4 files on the flashcart and followed instructions, but still white screen.

Turn console output on in TWLoader settings.

 

[Autz]

Turn console output on in TWLoader settings.

I did that and shows Error 1 when loading Slot-1:

Now booting Slot-1 card
Running sd:/_nds/twloader/loadflashcart/r4.nds with 1 parameters
Start failed. Error 1
Press start...

Then i noticed that i don't have a r4.nds on such directory. And also it can't be a read error since the Slot-1 Launcher runs fine.

For some reason if i try to launch my acekard 2i via TWLoader it hangs on a white screen after the NDS boot screen, I have the flashcart settings set to acekard 2i

at the very least I updated the bootloader to be able to run straight from the homescreen

I have to update TWLoader's NTR Launcher to support Acekard 2i.

So this http://www.r4isdhc.com/2014-r4isdhc-rts-lite/ but for 2015 doesn't work anymore with twloader 4.2 ? It will brick it ?

No. YSMenu will brick it.
TWLoader 4.2.0 simply won't run it.

I guess this card (notice the missing i, no url and the missing upgrade) still isnt supported and with the sketchiness of it not being dumpable, chances are that it never will be?

This works!!!! yay!

Now, I have a few questions/feature requests:

1. After installing games from the flashcart, how do you exit back to TWLoader on the SD card?

2. Is it possible to exit a game back to TWLoader if loading from a flashcart?

3. Is it possible to 'uninstall' games you've 'installed' from the menu? or do I just need to remove the ini files from the SD card?

4. Ability to install all games in a selected path on the flashcart. (Loop through each one rather than having to select them all individually)

.

 

[MrMcTiller]

Try the version before v4.2.0.

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


nds-bootstrap (the backend) currently only has code to patch the earlier games to run from SD card.

would that let me play on bootstrap 0.0.3 and play DScraft?

1. You can't. Not possible.
2. No, not even if a game is loaded from the SD card.
3. Just remove the .ini files using a PC, FBI, or GodMode9.
4. I'd add it, but I have no idea how to implement it.
