Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm using a flash cart (supercard dstwo).

Yeah that may make a difference ha. I'm trying to run them all on SD. I do have a DSTWO, but I would rather my DSi XL be able to play them all from the SD.

I did try booting from DSTWO from TWiLight menu too, all fine. Same ROM.

No issues here, using a DSi XL. Make sure TWiLight Menu++ and nds-bootstrap are up to date. Check by going into TWLMenu++ Settings.
If they're already on the latest, is the issue fixed when using a manually AP-patched ROM?

OK I just tried with a manually AP-Patched ROM, actually still the same thing after the cutscene. Red screen with the dots.
Happen to have any more suggestions based on that?

 

[godreborn]

I just checked on the 3ds w/out a flash cart. there are some noticeable sound issues, but the game works without a problem, even tested a save on day 8.

Try checking the SD card for errors, and/or reformatting the SD card using this guide: https://dsi.cfw.guide/sd-card-setup.html

Working on my side (DSi with internal SD, EUR version) :

I'll give a try. I already reformatted earlier but I'll see if theres an errors

Sorry I did not updated TWL++ to latest version : same problem as you, red screen with dots. Working with previous version of TWL++

@RocketRobz : there is definitely something wrong.

 

[godreborn]

I had no problem on the latest version of twilight menu++ with flash cart on the ds or with bootstrap9 on the 3ds. it did have some sound anomalies on the 3ds, not on the ds with flash cart though.

Seems to be related to DMA

Working using those settings with latest version :

Launch : DS mode
ARM9 : 67Mhz
Vram : DSi
DMA : Disabled

With DMA turned on, does pressing START to skip the cutscenes work around the crash?
That's what I did.

 

[godreborn]

is turning off dma a game specific option? that's the only place I found it, but turning it off on my 3ds = no more sound problems.

No, crash on my side when skipping movie

 

[godreborn]

I didn't even know there was a way to skip the cutscenes. I just let the cutscenes play as I was playing a game on the wii u. the intro is several minutes long, I think.

 

[godreborn]

is it supposed to echo in the opening video? it does that to me, and it's only the voices.

Ah this worked for me too, thanks!
So I assume everything being set to default previously worked, but the latest version has changed this?

At least happy it is working somehow, hopefully gets fixed eventually.

Yes. @RocketRobz made some changes related to DMA in the latest nds bootstrap according to the change log. Maybe this is why it is not working anymore with default settings. But I do no want to speak on his behalf.

The previous TWiLight Menu++ version originally blacklisted the game from using card read DMA, due to how the code worked at the time.

New nightly builds of TWLMenu++ and nds-bootstrap add a new improved DMA method set by default (can be reverted to "Regular" in the per-game settings), and should hopefully fix the issue.

They all work on my side. You can try to load standalone version of S8DS
