The DSi theme reminds me of DSCovered in a way. I missed that so much when I found out DSCovered wouldn't work on anything other than my old Acekard 2i. Now I just need to track down a DSTwo...

The twl loader sucks I tried playing 10 games that said was compatible but the only game that work was Mario kart

You know what else sucks? Crapping all over someone else's work without going through troubleshooting steps to make sure you have everything set up correctly.

Hi! First question deleted because I found the solution: if, while creating Newer Super Mario Bros from the software, the name is "Newer Super Mario Bros. DS.nds" you have to remove the first dot in this way: "Newer Super Mario Bros DS.nds". Stupid solution to stupid problem! :D
Second question: Pokémon HeartGold (Italian Version) boot up, make me choose the saved game but then black screen and nothing more. How can I go past this tediuos black screen?
Thank you!

If the english version gives the same result, wait for a fix.

MKDS is the best and only donor ROM there is.

Hey, Robz8, I love the way TWLoader works, but could you help me with a little problem I'm encountering?

I tried to use TWLoader with my R4iTT flashcard (specifically the one on the left on this webpage without the screw), then I pressed start, set game location to Flashcard, then pressed "Add Games", wondering what it would do. I was greeted with a white screen. I restarted the 3DS and then tried my flashcard directly from the home menu. Apparently, the white screen was still there, even without using TWLoader. Somehow, TWLoader bricked my flashcard! :cry:

What did TWLoader do to my flashcard that made it white screen every time it's booted up? Know any way to fix it? It worked perfectly fine before. I even tried re-formatting and re-downloading kernel files and switching to another micro SD card, but it stays on that accursed white screen. Heck, reset Slot 1 is already enabled. I really screwed up. I'm using an old 3DS, by the way.

Help me Robz8. You're my only hope.

Hello everybody. I've got a question regarding homebrews and TWLoader.

I've been trying to run cquake ds and quake 2 ds homebrews with twloader but had no luck. Both load but freeze when it comes to look out for the requested files; these homebrews require you to have a folder in your root with .pak files (ID1 folder for quake 1, BASEQ2 folder for Q2).

Is there anybody who could help me? Thanks.

Whenever I try to run a game using TWLoader, it will load normally and right before finishing, say "Error!" and display a large red X. I have checked the compatible games list, and even games that would run almost perfectly give me this error. I can't seem to figure out why it does this.

set the donor rom to mario kart ds, you need a mario kart ds rom, and i think you press select on it to set it as the donor.

You're out of luck. You'll either need a new flashcard, or try loading ROMs from the SD card.

Currently, some homebrew aren't working correctly.
