Homebrew [Discontinued] TWLoader - CTR-mode NDS app

[umbjolt]

That's a GUI crash.

I understand launch with rom loading instead of twloader lunch. My sorry @Gurvier

 

[bakawun]

TWloader do a simply comparation when you press Start/X/Y. If wifi is on and internet is found, it begin downloading. If not, it doesn't do anything

i did some more testing and in FBI the wifi works and connects.
I think the wifi check is failing, so the wifi is actually connected but the code that checks for working wifi is returning NO by accident.

 

[Dhillon]

If you mean after launching a rom, refer to wiki/faq, but to short your way, install TWLNand side and try if that helps

I'm launching the TwLoader initially and upon launching it checks files on the sd card with a white box on the bottom screen, after is crashes and gives me the warning to restart.

I think the same. The problem is I'm unable to reproduce the problem. Also, wifiStatus has never been change since I wrote it so dunno why is failling now

Are you sure you're using v3.0.1? This version should've fixed the crashing.

Could you paste here last lines of log.ini file, please?

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

The thread moves way too fast. How are we on compatability?

AFAIK, bootstrap compatibility is the same for now

@Robz8 I had another question. I'm currently using my gw blue card for a flashcart, what cart would I set that up as?

Gateway Blue Card?

 

[hidd12]

TWLoader does not download boxart nor does it update itself on launch, any suggestions? Worth noting it hasn't downloaded boxart since I've installed it yesterday

Internet isn't working for some users.

 

[WeedZ]

Gateway Blue Card?

Yeah, the gw blue card for installing mset is a clone of some other ds flashcart, I've heard acekard and some others. Thought maybe you would know for sure.

 

[Dhillon]

Are you sure you're using v3.0.1? This version should've fixed the crashing.

Yes buddy, im using v3.0.1, still having problems with this.

What is the ROM_FOLDER and FCROM_FOLDER in settings.ini?

 

[ChampionLeake]

TWLoader 3.0.1 works fine for me!
I just can't wait until this app can allow NSMB DS to run.

I think the same. The problem is I'm unable to reproduce the problem. Also, wifiStatus has never been change since I wrote it so dunno why is failling now

The code was changed
https://github.com/Robz8/TWLoader/blob/master/gui/source/download.cpp#L57
The value is now being initialized into void, where before it was uninitialized.
Before:

bool checkWifiStatus() {

After:

bool checkWifiStatus(void) {

Also i want to suggest a correction to the text used
Before:

"Internet connetion active found"
"No Internet connetion active found"

After:
Option1

"Active internet connection found"
"No Internet connection found"

Option2 (my preference)

"Wi-Fi connected"
"Wi-Fi disconnected"

I prefer the second option because you don't test for an active internet connection, instead you test if the Wi-Fi is associated with an accesspoint.

What is the ROM_FOLDER and FCROM_FOLDER in settings.ini?

Here is what I see in settings.ini

[FRONTEND]
COLOR = 0
TOP_BORDER = 1
TOP_LAYOUT = 0
COUNTER = 0
AUTOUPDATE = 0
AUTODOWNLOAD = 0
ROM_FOLDER = roms/nds
FCROM_FOLDER = roms/flashcard/nds

[TWL-MODE]
RAINBOW_LED = 0
TWL_CLOCK = 1
BOOT_ANIMATION = 1
HEALTH&SAFETY_MSG = 1
LAUNCH_SLOT1 = 0
RESET_SLOT1 = 1
DEBUG = -1
FORWARDER = 0
FLASHCARD = 0

Do the folders exist in your SD card?

The value is now being initialized into void, where before it was uninitialized.

Those are parameters, and in C++, () is actually identical to (void). I just prefer the more explicit (void). (In C, () indicates "unspecified" instead of "none".)

Yes buddy, im using v3.0.1, still having problems with this.

Can you try creating the following directories on the SD card:

• /roms/nds
• /roms/flashcard/nds

Put at least one NDS ROM in the first directory, and in the second directory, put an INI file that looks like this:

[FLASHCARD-ROM]
NDS_PATH = Games/New Super Mario Bros..nds
TID = A2DE01

I prefer the second option because you don't test for an active internet connection, instead you test if the Wi-Fi is associated with an accesspoint.

AFAIK Initializing a method to void or nothing is the same. Using void make us to not parse nothing to the method. Also I prefer option 1 and dislike option 2 because you can have wifi conected but don't have an internet connection
