If you're referring to me, I already updated bootstrap to 0.4.0. Still nothing.
I'm referring to the fact that to find that useful hint to be able to launch the games I had to search in a lot of pages. If it was in the OP, me (and probably other people) could have saved time.

@elcampeon4000 i think so, under Flashcart Options there are mentioned a card with that name, i use a r4gold rts and it works like a charm.

@galaxyboy, did you try the slot-1 option if you use a flashcard? though your error report is a bit vague, don't know what you are trying to load, version, system and so on.

Thanks for the great work OP! Works here very good, though i have to disable WLAN because that upgrade bug (but i already saw, that it's in fixing).

Well i have some questions.

So i guess the advantage of TWloader+ Flashcart to only Flashcart are:

-Boxart, Button, HD Stuff and better displaying games.
-Clock Tweak
-VRAM Tweak (what does that exactly?)

is that right?

Other thing, what isn't well documented:

How does the saving function exactly? It would be nice, if there would be more documentation. I can also write, though i'm no English native speaker.
After reading here some pages, i installed Mario Kart DS, set as donor rom, saved, saved other games and it works. But where are the save files? And is there a way to use / inject my old *.sav from my Flashcart? Because now the saves are split/different, so if i start ROM on Flashcart it has a own save and on TWloader it has another. (The difference is okay, but i would like to import my old saves).

Another thing about the boxart/buttons. I know that you can use custom boxart, but on my TWloader display some ROMs have the buttons displayed, one has a Boxart in upper screen too. Where do they come from? Can TWloader load themself with WLAN or do i have to create them?

And is there a possiblity to add all roms from a folder in the twloader add game function?

Many questions, many interest, such wow :D

Could you be more specific? Which DS? Which hax? CFW? Which rom? NDS-Bootstrap or from Flashcart? Which TWLoader? Which NDS-Bootstrap?
And the only suggestion i made was the Slot-Card1 option if you use a flashcart. That option isn't always needed, but a whitescreen fixer sometimes.

I have the same flashcart and I was wondering the same question.
Maybe with this works?
I can't try it atm since I haven't got any spare Micro SD for the flashcard
You can try the "DSTT/R4i Gold/R4i-SDHC/R4 SDHC Dual-Core/R4 SDHC Upgrade/SC DSONE" pack.
As for retrogamefan, that card is listed as compatible under R4i-SDHC

PLEASE BE AWARE YOU MAY (SEMI-)BRICK YOUR CARD

Update official and unofficial bootstrap in the settings menu
then switch from unofficial to official and/or vice versa.

If it still does not work delete the _nds folder and recreate it fresh from the latest release.
also remove the ini files from your rom folder if there are any and re-add the games
