Make sure "Lock ARM9 SCFG_EXT" is off in the NTR/TWL settings.

Is it off (and was by default).

Try setting Console output to "On (with Debug)".

That shouldn't happen. Is Bootstrap set to "Release"? If so, set it to "Unofficial", then set it back to "Release".

It was set to Release, switching to Unofficial and back to Release did not change anything.

Try updating the bootstraps in the GUI settings screen.

Updated both Release as well as Unofficial yet nothing changed. Still stuck at a white screen.

That's strange.
How long have you waited on the white screen?

The first time it happened for around 5 minutes (or ya know, one round of Mario Strikers on the Wii), after doing what you recommend around 1 minute.

Try Super Mario 64 DS.

Try Super Mario 64 DS.

Oddly enough SM64DS works perfectly fine and only takes around 5 seconds to boot...

So you're good, then.
If you have a Mario Kart DS ROM set as a donor ROM, Sonic Rush Adventure will work.

Umm... donor ROM? Did not setup a donor ROM yet...
Pressed SELECT and selected Mario Kart DS as the donor ROM (even though I got no notification that I was successful or something). Same scenario as before...

EDIT: Well, turning off the console output now launches the game (even if it does stutter).

Your SD card might have a low cluster size. Backup all of your files on the SD Card, and format it with the cluster size (known as allocation unit in Windows) of 32kb.

The games do launch correctly now (after turning off console output).
Thank you very much for helping me!

No progress on the backend since Feb 24. Work on it will resume soon.

ATTENTION!
To anyone wanting to update to update to 11.4, please don't update.
11.4 breaks the reboot patches in Luma, and as a result, AGB (unreleated to TWLoader) and NTR/TWL modes are broken, meaning that you can't run any ROMs from the SD card, flashcard, or even run your retail DS cartridges.

EDIT: This only happens on New 3DS. Old3DS/2DS seems to be working.
EDIT2: The issue is fixed in the latest Luma nightly.
