Homebrew [Discontinued] TWLoader - CTR-mode NDS app

[signz]

Acekard 2(i)/Galaxy Eagle/M3DS Real (Acekard 2(i) is not supported yet.)

I guess this is still the same?

Great work on this tool :-)

It is possible to run a CycloDS Evolution Flashcard to play my .nds games?
And which settings are required?

Or do I need another flashcard?

I've got a question. Is there any reason to use TWLoader if you already have a flashcard (such as GW blue card)? You can't even use cheats with TWLoader, right?

I like the interface.

What flashcard should I get? My Acekard just broke

I have a question regarding NitroGrafx homebrew. This Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/5pm21v/running_pc_engine_and_pc_engine_cd_games_on_o3ds/) claims that we can play PC Engine CD games on O3DS launching NitroGrafx with TWLoader.

The steps are as follows:
- Put Nitrografx.nds on your default TWLoader nds roms directory.
- Create a folder named "nitrografx" on the root of your SD where you'll put the games and bios.
- Change the clock speed to 133mhz (DSi mode)
- In case the rom crashes, set Lock ARM9 SCFG_EXT option

Nitrografx loads and prompts you with a blue screen asking to press L+R or touch the screen to open the settings menu, but that's as far as I can go. It doesn't respond and I have to close TWLoader.
Has anyone actually made this work? I've got no response from the OP and I'm guessing it's just a hoax at this point.

Should be fixed in the next release.

nds-bootstrap is currently broken for some homebrew.

Is R4i RTS fixed yettttt?

 

[Shadow128]

You need another flashcard.

Thanks for that info / your help.
Which flashcard has the best compatibility for TWLOader?

In the upcoming version, yes.

DSTT and DSTWO.
Use DSTT if you don't want the DSTWO draining your console's battery out.

Is the flashcard inserted correctly?
If so, dunno why it's not working, as I don't own that flashcard.

Thanks for your work on this project!
I am currently trying to set up my R4i RTS 3DS with TWLoader and haven't had much luck. I am using the latest versions of both the release and unofficial bootstrap with Reset Slot-1 on and off. Since my flashcard doesn't appear in any of the pack names I just guessed what cards seemed like they might work. Using the DSTT/R4i Gold/R4i-SDHC/R4 SDHC Dual-Core/R4 SDHC Upgrade/SC DSONE pack I get stuck on a plain white screen. With the R4iDSN/R4i Gold RTS pack I get a black bottom screen, a white top screen and an unusable flashcard when booting it directly. I have correctly extracted the slot-1 and flashcardroot folders.

For reference I got this card.

So I followed that guide, etc. Got the files, but now every single time I try to boot the flashcart, I get, "An error has occurred. Press and hold the POWER button to turn the system off. Please refer to the Operations Manual for details."

What. the. actual. FUCK. This is getting fucking ridiculous now, Jesus fucking christ.

Are you using EmuNAND?

Nope.

Do DS WiFi settings and DS Download Play still work?

Do DS WiFi settings and DS Download Play still work?

I'm sure they do now that I followed the guide.

But my r4i3ds gold isn't working! I get a fucking white screen when I boot and 9/10 times when I insert the card, the system freezes, or when I boot the console with the cart inserted, it just hangs on a black screen.


God fucking damnit, this is SERIOUSLY getting ridiculous!!

Your R4i Gold is bricked somehow.

That just doesn't make sense. I'm trying again with my blue cart then. Thank you. I'll keep you updated.

Alright! I FINALLY got it working with the Gateway Blue Cart, thank you so much for the help!


I wonder what the blue cart compatibility is? I may have to look that up
