Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

Ah, so if the game worked flawlessly without it should work the same with i guess.
Do you have any example of a games that does lag enough in order for me to see the change?

I cant keep track of all the stuff here!

Sonic Rush Adventure's intro has no lag with TWL speed.
TrackMania Turbo also runs smooth with TWL speed.

Can Moonshell at least play MP3 files?

Rayman DS is really bad at vanilla NTR speeds. But with TWL speeds it's quite playable.

I also find improvements in Metroid Prime Hunters and GTA Chinatown Wars. It's subtler in these cases but in MPH especially it makes a difference.

Yes.

 

[GhostLatte]

Yes.

Which version though?

Yes. It's a little rough though.

1.71

The latest bootstrap build is spectacular. Lemmings DS' loading times went from over a minute to ~10 seconds- it's almost on par with playing it on a real flashcart!

I was actually surprised that Colors and Pocket Physics worked.

Just timed it against a DSTWO with a Class-10 microSD. ~6 seconds versus ~16 seconds.

It's a huge improvement from what came before, but "on par" might have been a bit optimistic. Still- fantastic to even have it working this well at all!

I thought this game was unplayable no matter what you did?
I'm going through Rayman3D and Rayman 2 TGE at the same time and comparing (how shitty the psx version is) the two.
Sounds like I should install this as fast as possible now that I know flashcarts work with it.

Something that does confuse me is NTR cfw (which is a 3ds program) versus NTR launcher and other NTR slot 1 forwarders, since NTR IS DSmode programs.

The 3DS version of the game may also run quite nicely if overclocked on a N3DS, but I don't own one. I can only say that Rayman DS becomes much better at TWL clockspeeds.

I read that on Rayman's wiki, but sadly >>>> O3DS.
N3ds are either way more than 200$ (without CFW), or you can't find them at all.
Will try this later today and confirm.

Is their a list of games that play better at twl clock speeds?

No, that was what @FrozenDragon150 was suggesting, keeping some sort of compatibility list...

I think some sort of compatibility list spreadsheet needs cooking up at this point.

I've been following this since long time ago and can't wait to run native ds games fully support you guys!

I don't want to bother but does anyone know if i can get this crap to work meanwhile?

It is from r4i3d.com
I'm super basic (i don't understand almost anything about twl ntr... i just hacked my 2ds following the plailect guide) so imagine i'm a grandma if there is any chance to run it and need some kind of explanation

Do you have a9lh? if so, using it with luma 3ds it should boot. If it doesn't. Have you already followed the GBA/DSi troubleshooting guide from the plailect guide?
Does the card get recognized by the 3ds and shows a black screen of error, or is never picked up?
If you did all of that and it still doesn't boot up, maybe try using forwarders/NTR launcher...

 

[metroid maniac]

Here, I very quickly made this. You can go ahead and add games to the compatibility list if you want.

noalt means regular 1.9.4, right?
Someone in this thread told use to use alt for better performance.
