Have you and your team (or others) considered reverse engineering the Wario Ware Touched port(My Nintendo Award) so it load any rom?

The rom is actually recompiled as DSiWare, so it's not possible.
You can already load roms from SD Card, by the way.

ElectricIce · Jan 11, 2017

Sorry, completely forgot about DSiWare, thought it could be used for better compatibility. Thanks for the great work!

I haven't had time to try out TWLoader yet, but I've been looking over it and so far it looks quite nice. I have a bunch of code improvements queued up locally; I'll probably send a PR sometime this weekend.

One thing that I'd like to see implemented: Support for DSi animated icons. Some DSi-enhanced games have an animated icon in addition to the standard DS icon. I've already implemented support for this in rom-properties, so after I send my initial PR with code fixes, I'll take a look at adding animated icons.

So I got bored and made a different banner. Dunno if anyone will like it or not, though. I wanted to retain the simplicity of the original, so it's really not fancy or anything.

Those games are listed as not working. There's a list in the OP.

Aside from the fact that games are listed, there's also a mention if they're not working or if they're working/working with issues. The games you've mentioned are marked as not working.

How do you uninstall this? Is it enough to uninstall the "TWLoader", the "TWLoader TWL-Mode app" and delete the files from the SD?

A black screen on game launch? Your answer is in the FAQs.

Not on game launch, on GUI launch.

The last thing that appears before a "Your system needs to restart" crash is a white text bubble with the banner installing message.

Do you get the crash when you launch TWLoader again?

Yeah, I did it even 3 times just to check, but to no avail.

At the 3rd time, I turned on ERRDISP and this is what comes out: https://gbatemp.net/attachments/crash_dump_00000004-dmp-zip.74509/

Hey I installed this but it gets stuck on Now checking TWLoader Version... Forever.

This will be fixed in the next release.

GerbilSoft · Jan 14, 2017

@Robz8 Some of the newer commits moved the location of YSMenu.ini, but it seems that it only works properly if located in the original directory, sdmc:/_dsttfwd/YSMenu.ini . (I'm using an R4i SDHC Dual Core card.)

Any idea if I'm missing something?

I'm improving the DSTT/R4i-SDHC forwarder pack to fix this.

Okay, just wanted to make sure I didn't break anything while doing code changes.

Here's my current branch: https://github.com/GerbilSoft/TWLoader/commits/fix-issues-and-mem-leaks
I'm mostly fixing memory leaks and optimizing stuff where necessary. I'll send a PR once it's done.
