You're right. It wouldn't work, because DS flashcards can't be read in CTR-mode.
Well could you use the same way that woodfilemanager works? or would that not work for a DS emulator. Or maybe you could remake Add Games and edit woodfilemanager so it goes like Add Games.

Also whenever I try to add another game, after I add a game all my folders in Games are DSCraft, I go back and there's like YSMenu stuff. I go in the folder and the regular Flashcard MicroSD is there. I go to click on games but it gets stuck on *Entering Directory.

This should be fixed in the next version.

This might be what you're looking for.

Thank you! Just used to update the files in "_nds" folder!
No more needs to take microSD out of the R4 and possible breaking the spring in the process (yes, I have the FIRST and original white card R4 with spring lever in microSD slot xD )

Ok @Robz8
I have a question now that I have more info about my flashcart, but I don't have my 3DS with me, just my DS Lite.

The flashcart says R4 Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS)
On the DS Lite it boots right after the DS Health & Safety screen. Basically on boot.
On the 3DS, it doesn't read it as a game, it does nothing.

Can this work on TWLoader?

Thanks in advance.

After I clean installed everything since the auto updater crashed for some reason I now get stuck on a white screen after the health and safety message.I think i've had this happen before.

Edit:Its claiming I have no bootstrap but I do have it.Maybe I have to redownload again.

Yet another weird issue that doesn't occur to me.

What did you do?
all I did was hit "A" at add games and it, gave me these errors: (1.) start failed error 1 (2.) start failed error 1 (3.) bootstrap not found

Did you update TWLNAND side? If so, extract the files in "sdroot/_nds/twloader/loadflashcard/" from TWLoader.7z, to "sdmc:/_nds/twloader/loadflashcard/".

Take out the folders from "sdroot", hence "sdmc:/" actually being the sd root.

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

TWLoader v3.2.1

What's new?
  • The "GUI" and "NTR/TWL" buttons in settings, now work by touching them in the touch screen.
  • The Start/Select menu now disappears whenever a donor ROM is set/unset. (by @umbjolt)
Improvements
  • The white square of the NDS card image now looks like the one from DSi Menu.
Bug fixes
  • The "Add Games" menu now restarts after a game is added. This is only tested with a DSTWO, so DLDI might go unpatched after restarting.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
