Poe's law.

Yeah sarcasm doesn't usually travel well through text. The sad part is someone on the internet would seriously make a post like that.

YEP. Sarcasm on the internet. That's definitely a new, saddening thing.

Back on topic, I've heard talk floating around on Reddit of "around Christmas" for an official build release. Any updates on that, or was that just speculation to begin with? I'd kill a hooker for a working version.

Well, the developers did say they heard jingle-bells in the distance

That was the date inferred by one of the developers.

Well unless you compiled a working version of the newest commit nothing works.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I think that's the main branch. Here's the latest build from the card branch, from half an hour ago

Can you build the new commit since it fixed it so hopefully stuff works now?

@Robz8 is there a reason why the Forwarders aren't working with the last unofficial build that did kind of sort of work?

I compiled the most recent build but compatibility isn't as good (heh) as two commits ago. I could get demos to boot but SM64 didn't start and nor did Feel the Magic XY/XX which used to show a warning sign. I won't provide the build for fear that I potentially used the wrong .nds. Either way, this branch is obviously very much WIP atm (the last commit reverted a few lines of the penultimate commit). If you want to build it, setting up devKitARM and building the branch should take you at most 30 min to do

When did you create your forwarders?

Yeah I figured it is oh well I'm sure they'll figure it all out or someone will post a new build when it's closer to working. Did you have any luck with it working with the forwarders at all?

When did you create your forwarders?

I just created a forwarder with the 3DS SD Card setting for Bomberman like 15 or 20 minutes ago and Bomberman launches on TWLauncher but not from the Forwarder. I did had it say the card was missing and I think I did the wrong setting so I remade it and installed it and it just goes to the white screen now. Other than replace the nds-bootstrap.nds is there anything I need to do to get it to work?

Try turning console output "On (Debug)" in TWLoader, then launch your forwarder.

 

[hacksn5s4]

Did you build it yourself? The compiled build is broken ATM

 

[RocketRobz]

@Link_of_Hyrule Did you tick "Automatically set ROM path", and loaded the ROM from SD card in Forwarder3-DS?

 

[Link_of_Hyrule]

That didn't seem to do anything still stuck on the white screen

EDIT: fixed the ini file

 

[Link_of_Hyrule]

Much appreciated I'm going to try it out now hopefully this build works with the forwarders.

@piratesephiroth your config file is wrong should be BOOTSTRAP_PATH = fat:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.nds (EDIT: from ini)

alright, fixed

 

[hacksn5s4]

what do i put in the bootstrap ini file

 

[Link_of_Hyrule]

alright, fixed

lol it was still wrong it should be BOOTSTRAP_PATH = fat:/_nds/bootstrap-dldi.nds

 

[piratesephiroth]

lol it was still wrong it should be BOOTSTRAP_PATH = fat:/_nds/bootstrap-dldi.nds
