Homebrew [Discontinued] TWLoader - CTR-mode NDS app

[Stack3r]

Before you posted I moved one rom back and didn't delete any of the box art and it still opened and the game loaded. So I wonder if something is not liking how many games I have. I think I have 36 games.

Strange, I have 59 games and all the boxarts downloaded.

Or the boxart might be corrupted.

Well all the boxart load fine on my computer so I don't think that's the case. I'm going to try putting 5 games in the folder and keep going with more if that works fine.

@Robz8 it worked until I put 20 roms in the folder putting them in at intervals of 5 so it launched at 15 but not 20.

Hmm.. I have about ten games though

 

[umbjolt]

@umbjolt do you know why this is happening?

@Link_of_Hyrule Sorry the delay. It was midnight in my country. I found that is not the amount of roms. It's about the rom themself. Examples. You can have 25 roms of small roms(128mb for examples) but if you have 5-6 roms like pokémon white 2 (512mb each) it crash. Try putting less roms ( or light roms ) to test. I'll try to add a debug log for startup loading screen too.
Plan B: is ANYONE IS UNABLE TO OPEN TWLOADER: turn down wireless switch and open TWLoader. If it crash, is a rom problem (too many or too big). If not, let me know

DSI-Enhanced questions

Hello,i am no sure if this question should be here or not.If is not,please excuse me.
After seen we could use the extra ram/cpu power of dsi on common nds games with TWLoader,i thought if it could be possible create new "dsi-enhanced".

1) Add an extra code to the rom ,converting normal ds game to dsi-enhanced game (changing the headers,add the extra touchscreen code because dsi has its own way of touchscreen and a compatibility mode ..) for allow making better rom hacking with this extra power without broken anything (if it is run on a normal ds it doesnt have anything).
An example are the asm templates :
https://github.com/Dirbaio/ASMPatchTemplate

2)"Convert" dsiware games to dsi-enhanced which could be load without need of cia simply using twloader.
I know they are some diferences betwen both kind of formats and it make the need of being patched
(sdcard access for save,..)

I have been trying some experiments using dslazy and games which was available on both formats

Dragon's Lair is available as a cart and as dsiware at least in europe .


thanks for all
Ah,i forgot than maybe this could help: -snip-

It's an issue with bootstrap (unofficial build) for now.
If you are using the official release, what game are you running?

BiS USA

I turned it off but it still crashes. You are right it's the roms. Just deleted two more and it booted up, got white screen on one of them and another rom saying it can't create a save file

After using less roms, are your side still crashing or it "solved"?

Yeah it solved after using less roms

So, I'm just a little confused. I want to use TWLoader to boot the ROMs on my slot-1 flashcard instead of launching the flashcard icon on the home menu. Aside from installing TWLoader and setting the game directory to "flashcard", is there anything else I need to do? I saw there was a folder that said "put flashcard ROM .inis here", but my game ROMs don't have .ini files.

You need to follow the guide under "(Optional) Run ROMs from your Slot-1 flashcard" in the first post. Also it's not mentioned, but you'll need to install Java if you haven't already to use the program to generate the .ini files.

I've just done it myself, and it works quite well

 

[Helix Fossil]

Yep, I understand now. The forwarder part is what threw me off, because I had originally used the forwarder tool to install forwarders on my 3DS home menu. This time I'm using it to make forwarders for TWLoader's menu instead. Thanks a bunch.

1. I'll try to fix it.
2. That's not a bug.
3. Can't really check it, due to my system language selections restricted (3 on US systems).

 

[Link_of_Hyrule]

@Robz8 are you planning on having a new builds today that fixes the crashing we were testing the other day?
