Yeah, I've tried it in unofficial and release. What do you mean by donor rom?
Click to expand...
A donor rom is a fully working rom (like Mario kart) that "donor" arm9 code execution to your unsupported rom (iirc but the concept is similar)
Example: if your rom doesn't work and you set mario kart ds as donor, your rom will work

So I download a Mariokart DS ROM and set it as a donor rom for Megaman ZX in TWLoader?

I can't tell you to download, just use your backup :P;)

When you got it, press SELECT or START (don't remember which button was rn) and press "Set as donor rom" (or something similar in your language) and later, just run megaman :)
 
What is the best configuration for the games? Or does it depend on what game you're playing?

No.
In TWLoader, move the cursor to the Mario Kart DS ROM, press SELECT, then touch "Set as donor ROM".

TWLoader v4.2.0

Sorry for the long wait, but here it is!

What's new?
  • In Wood theme, SD icon is transparent if no ROMS on the SD card are found, and flashcard icon is transparent if no inis on the SD card are found.
  • Flashcard users, you can now go into "Add Games" in the R4 and Wood themes!
Improvements
  • GUI is now compiled with devkitARM r46!
  • To avoid crashing by sftdlib's draw function, sftdlib has been replaced with citro3D for drawing text in the system font! As a result, the CIA/3DSX is smaller.
  • Frame rate of DS boot screen is now smoother. (Nintendo logo is removed as a result. Will add it back in the future.)
Bug fixes
  • R4 and Wood themes: If no ROMs and INIs are found, you are unable to go into the game select menu.
  • Exiting the settings screen with DSi Menu and Wood themes no longer crashes TWLoader.
  • Official bootstrap now works again!
  • Slot-1 loading works again.
Known bugs
  • Left number is not shown in "Downloading box art" message.
  • Some text are off-center.
  • Outside of the English language, some of the text may be shown out of bounds.
  • DSTT/R4i Gold/R4i-SDHC/R4 SDHC Dual-Core/R4 SDHC Upgrade/SC DSONE loading no longer works.
Also, updated screenshots are in the first post.

By any chance, How do I set up a sub-theme in TWLoader? (I'd like to run an R4 Menu without actually owning an R4 :p)

I noticed that DSTT loading is listed as a known bug here, so does that mean, as a DSTT owner, I should stay on TWLoader v4.1.0?

Also, some more, hopefully helpful info. I am a DSTT owner, and I have found a workaround for it not working (in v4.1.0). If it freezes at the white screen, I enable debug console output, and it works again. As debug console output bugs me, I turn it off after, and it will keep working until some point where I have to enable debug console output shortly for it to work again.

@Robz8 - are you, perhaps, also on some dev IRC channel, or would you want to join? Like freenode #Cakey.

I'm having the auto-update and shut down on boot problem in this new version.I'll have to turn off auto updating again.
 
Hi!
I am using the flashcard "R4i-SDHC 3DS RTS" and put the files for R4i-SDHC RTS from the DS Game forwarder pack on the flashcard and the 3DS files on the 3DS SD. I installed TWLoader GUI and the TWL part via QR code from github. I switched the game source to Flashcard. Then I click "add games", but I only get the health logo and then white screen.
I also tried the option for "reset the flashcard(if you have a white screen)", which didn't help.
Loading the Flashcard(from 3DS menu) and playing games works, but I would prefer TWLoader.

Should've also put R4i-SDHC as well.
