Homebrew [Discontinued] TWLoader - CTR-mode NDS app

[FateForWindows]

Do the games that are run off the flashcart show up in the activity log?

I didn't notice the update, usually i left my 3DS without internet because reasons

Don't tell me you still believe those false banwave rumors. those were proven false a while back

Yes Kinda XD, Also to preserve the battery, using internet in any device would consume more battery than usual

except I can run the r4 through twloader and get both compatibility and speed boost for the small amount of games that need it

That is because nds-bootstrap is closer to a gba slot flash cart (m3 perfect, etc) rather than your r4. In fact, much of the commercial game support is (or at least was) based, somewhat loosely, on the Max Overload software which let you run commercial roms on the Max Media Dock (a a gba slot to CF/IDE adapter) and always had compatibility problems. In fact the whole donor rom thing was originally known as the MaxCrass Method.

I know i could google this somewhere but i havent found anything while searching, is there like, a way to get pokemon platinum to not have so many lag spikes with twloader? or like, is that just something im gonna have to deal with till the bootloader makes it less laggy?

A little update on my efforts to run Death Jr., tried playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky (needs MKDS as donor) and got the same error I got on Death Jr.. Apparently, my MKDS ROM was corrupted, got a new one and now it works. So Death Jr. should be added on the list of supported games, it only needs MKDS donor for save data to run and it runs without any issues at all (at third level now and no framedrops/spikes or anything), but loading screens can take a while. Same thing for both the EU and US versions. Also tested Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days out of curiosity and instead of white screens (like it says in the support sheet) I got red top, white bottom...

TWLoader is not updating the bootstrap anymore, is that normal?

Hi,

When trying to play multiplayer on Mario Kart DS using TWLoader, the game will freeze at some point.
Here is a little video :


Is there anything that can be done so that it doesn't freeze like patching the rom or something ?

What I tried :
Using an older version of nds-bootstrap : It was even worse it would disconnect because the loading time is too long.
Using differant roms (JP and KR version) still freezes.
It does that on 3 different consoles with different specs (All B9S Luma, but one a small 3DS with 8GB Class 4 uSD, one 3DS XL with 64GB Class 10 uSD and a 2DS with original 4GB Class 4 SD.) I don't have any "New" models to test if it does the same.
Even if the multi is against only consoles with TWLoader and no original cart/flashcart, it still freezes.
Also when using TWLoader rom hosting in "simple" mode, the DSes that download play get frozen on Nintendo logo. DSes with flasme freezes on a white screen just after the nintendo logo fades out.

Any ways of making this work ?
Thanks for any ideas.

Read the comment in the supported games sheet, you need to patch the ROM. EUR version works just fine btw and is what I've been playing.

The patch they talk about if to play online with wiimmfi. The rom I used is actually patched with that (But I tried with unpatched ones too just to be sure if it wasn't the online patch that made it freeze but nope it changed nothing). But that is just for online, not for local multiplayer.

You'll have to deal with it, 'til it gets improved.

It's because quick start is on. Try turning it off, then reboot, and try again.

what games have improved compatibility with the new bootstrap and what works now (chrono trigger, the world ends with you JPN version)?

Quick start is off, I tried updating from the settings page and it doesn't work too
EDIT: solved, thanks anyway

the world ends with you crashes in the middle of the loading and after some time gives error.
What do I do?

Don't tell me you still believe those false banwave rumors. those were proven false a while back

Wait, what? So I don't actually have to worry about what I last played (or am playing) when my 2DS is online? That's a relief.

the only way you are getting banned is either cheating online or playing a leaked game online early...this is assuming you are playing cia files instead of using flashcarts like sky3ds

As long as you aren't blatantly showing what you are playing when using homebrews and stuff, there's nothing to worry about! Cheating HEAVILY can get you banned though.

I'm using a forwarder for it, but it works just fine for me (both EUR and US versions), although it stutters a LOT and even freezes before battles for a good 20 seconds or so...

Yep, all CIAs. A few 3DS games, a couple of emulators, and TWLoader+nds-bootstrap (the person who set up B9S for me specifically told me "you can't go online with a 3DS flashcart, don't bother getting one."). Good to know I can leave my WiFi on now.

For emulators, it's best to hide them by playing through the HBL, for the rest it should be safe.

you can go online with a flashcart you just need to have a 3ds game to extract a unique id from so you don't get banned but the rest of that stuff shouldn't be a problem and you don't even really need the internet on and wasting battery while using twloader and emulators
