Where all of the roms* are
I'll tell you step by step.
  1. Launch TWLoader.
  2. Press START on your console. (Skip this, if you're using akMenu/Wood theme.)
  3. Select "Select ROM type".
  4. Select "GameBoy Advance: Start GBARunner2".
  5. If there's just white screens, repeat the above steps.
  6. Select your GBA ROM.
Make sure you have the GBA BIOS as "bios.bin" on the SD cart root.
II haven't been in this thread for months, how much have this improved? :unsure:
Nicely.
Graphics have improved, we can now install and launch DSiWare CIAs, and we can now run GB/SGB/GBC ROMs via the DS version of GameYob.

It's normal, but there may be improvements in the future.

I couldn't get GBA Runner to work, only way I'm able to get it to work is by going into setting and turning on Console (Debug) and it boots into it just fine then

TWLoader v6.2.0 - 1st Anniversary Release #4

What's new?
  • Quick start has been added!
    This option will skip WiFi features and banner caching during startup to get to the ROM menu fast!
    You can also enable this option by holding A during startup.
  • R4 Ultra added to flashcard list!
    Check here for the pack for that card: https://gbatemp.net/threads/twloader-ctr-mode-nds-app.448375/
What's new?/Improvement
  • 3DS HOME Menu theme looks less like the DSi Menu, and more like the 3DS HOME Menu.
Improvements
  • Box art loading is now a bit faster.
  • Start border in DSi Menu theme updated (by @Uupo03).
Bug fixes
  • Prior to this version, some users get sent back to the HOME Menu after launching a game. This version should fix that bug.
  • Top and bottom screen's timings are no longer off.
  • Other minor bug fixes.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
