1)ok
2) you weren't supposed to. it's just that it is inferior to 7

The point is that it's cheap. I'm not trying to be hostile here, I'm just saying that the €5 or however much it takes will be well spent and it's preferable to waiting a long time for an alternative with a lot of issues.
 
TWLoader release time! :nds:
https://github.com/Robz8/TWLoader/releases/tag/v1.0

PICT0131.png

For those who tried out the old GUI-less version, delete the title and ticket with the product code "BOOTSTRAPLDR" to free up some TWL NAND space.

TWLoader is a CTR-mode frontend for nds-bootstrap. You can launch ROMs, Slot-1 card (via NTR Launcher), and change settings (like enabling/disabling DS boot screen, change clock speed, etc.).

Extract the files in "sdroot" to the 3DS SD Card root, and the TWLoader CIA.
Install the TWLoader CIA, and the CIA that's in "sdmc:/_nds/twloader/cia/".
Put some .nds ROMs in "sdmc:/nds/".

Controls for ROM selector:
Up/Down: Pick a ROM.
A: Launch ROM.
X: Launch Slot 1.
Start: Exit to HOME Menu.
Select: Switch to Settings screen.

Controls for Settings screen:
Up/Down: Pick a setting.
A: Change setting.
Select: Switch to ROM selection screen.

Does Moonshell still have problems working?

It'd be cool if a file browser existed for exploring and selecting a .nds on the flashcard itself. Does an interface even exist for using the Slot-1 storage in 3DS-mode homebrews?

What version of bootstrap did you include? 0.0.2 or 0.0.3?

That's a bootstrap issue, not TWLoader. Ahezard is working on the bootstrap file still...

I think it can be done in 3ds mode with arm9 access. Since you can dump a game or flashcard in 3ds mode (decrypt9) I suppose it should be possible to browse the content using the dldi driver (that is compatible with arm9 processor).

There are no .nds files in the "sdmc:/nds/" folder. Forgot to mention to put .nds files in the "sdmc:/nds/" folder.
 
Then create the "nds" folder, if you don't see it.
alright, wasnt too sure, thanks. Trying now

also this cant load commercial roms im assuming? Mostly because if it could this would have exploded way larger.

Well, CTR or TWL mode doesn't matter much to me. I'd just like a way to copy files between my SD card and flashcard.

nds_hb_menu doesn't seem to be able to copy files and that old woodr4 thing acts strangely when I try to copy stuff.

Though CTR mode would be ideal, it'd be awesome to see Godmode9 or FBI accessing the flashcard storage.

Well I do have a version of wood somewhere that just does that. It is not able to launch anything (neither from the 3ds sd or from the flashcard) but it can browse both and the copy works fine. Let's me found it, I will push it to github. But I warn you : do whatever you want with it I will not maintain it. Wood is a mess even only to compiles it.
