You are aware that "app" works with a flashcard also, right? I use it with my AceKard 2i and R4 all the time.
Of course, but if you already have a flashcard why work harder vs smarter? Not to negate the awesomeness of the bootstrap app, it works well and the devs have been working really hard on it for a while. That doesn't change the fact that a flashcard does everything that app does better, with 100% compatibility and more features to boot like cheats and RTS. Between CIA forwarders and a cheap $15 card, there is no reason to use that app right now outside of development or desperation assuming your aim is DS gaming and not DS Homebrews or something that mght require TWLoader.

There is TWL Loader you can use, but personally I'd use a DS Flashcart.
with the Flashcart Launchers. I use the original R4 and that works fine. I think you can find one for dirt cheap anyways ^^

yea a flash cart is much better
Expect when I made this post TWLoader ran most games painfully slow and there was virtually no reason to use it for any game above 32MB, but that's not the case anymore. The latest nds-bootloader with TWiLight Menu++ is a far different story and game compatibility/speed is improving at a rapid rate. I actually would heavily suggest people give TWiLight Menu++ a chance and if they aren't satisfied, then buy a flashcart, or just use both. Times have changed and are continuing to change.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
