Oh no, I encountered another glitch :hateit:

When I boot up a game, I get a white screen!
nds-bootstrap's SD card operations causes a crash with MiniTWLPayload (used by ugopwn), so that's normal for now.
You'll need sudokuhax to run retail games from SD card.

I was wondering, could you please add buttons on the main selection screen that allow you to change pages? I recently added sudokuhax to my dsi & I realized that I couldn't go beyond the first page because my R button doesn't respond when I press it (probably due to old age)...

Mario kart is the only rom that runs for me. Checking the compatibility list Magnetica, big brain academy and kirby squeak squad, among others work. First it creates the save file and then white screens, any help would be appreciated.

Set Mario Kart as donor ROM, by pressing SELECT on it, and make sure donor ROM is on in settings.

@Robz8 Mah boi i'm loving this, but one problem I have is I can't seem to import a .sav file to replace the one SRLoader creates. It's a perfectly working Pokemon Platinum save that was even verified and exported via PKHex. The rom loads fine once MKDS is set as the doner, but with the replaced save it doesn't even try to load, just stays white which is not right since I have Verbose output enabled.

I would appreciate it if you could help me with this, just messing around with it soo


Using Sudokuhax btw

If you don't see the verbose output, try running the ROM again.

hi, I just installed sudokuhax and then put the srloader files in my SD card, but whenever I boot into srloader there are a couple of graphical glitches, one of them looks like a doted line that runs vertically in the top screen and some banners don't display correctly, is this normal?, also, some ds games don't boot like they do on twloader on 3ds, do they have different compatibility? I've already put Mario kart DS as donor ROM.

For now, yes. I haven't noticed a dotted line.

The DSiWarehax version of bootstrap is outdated.

Alright, i was going to create a topic and tag @Robz8 but this might do it as well.
i got SudokuHax isntalled and running without any issues, however, im kinda confused on all the bootstrap terms.
SRLoader uses dsiware-bootstrap.nds to boot homebrew when the Y button is pressed.
i assume it uses release-bootstrap.nds when launching a retail game holding the a button.

When i try to launch those files as a game/homebrew, as example, running dsiware-bootstrap.nds as boot.ds when running sudokuhax, i always get "fatInitDefault crashed!"
So, i want to try and understand how this work, as well as the excel/google spreadsheet document, states that NeoDs works fine, and i get a Crash or a FatInit failed.
GBAEMU4DS [Non hbmenu version] - Where can i find this one? so i can test it?
LolSnes - Hangs on White Screen / Black Screen with leds turned on.

NesDS 1.3c its the only one that runs, 1.3d crashes with a red screen and white letters.

Am i missing something, am i suppose to run dsiware-bootstrap.nds as a standalone software, due the issues with srloader? cant even launch it due the fatinitdefault crashed.

So my question is, is there something im missing in order to play those homebrew? since they appear on green on the google spreadsheet.

Do you know of GBARunner2 and SnemulDS?
GBARunner2 is an GBA Interpreter for the DS with an already high compatibility rate.
SnemulDS is an SNES Emulator and much more advanced compared to LolSnes.

Know both of them pretty much.
SnemulDS does nto load, hangs on fat init, which is already reported on the spreadsheet, and GBARunner2, also hangs with both screens black. using SRLoader with Y button, which i think it means using dsi-ndsbootstrap.nds to run them.
