CFW Turns Off When Playing A DS Game, Any Help? Oh And I'm On The New 2DS XL, I'm On The Newest Firmware Version I Use Luma3DS, The Luma3DS Menu And The BootNTR (Selector) Menu Don't Open, The DS Game Works Fine. Oh And I Don't Want Cheats, I Want Screen Sharing To My Computer (More Exactly Mac)!

OK sounds like ds mode is bricked which can happen when installing 3ds cfw. The good news is its an easy fix. Just follow this guide to fix ds mode and everything will now work. Look at the section called
DSi / DS functionality is broken after completing the guide

AmandaRose, The Fix Didn't Work :( But The DS Game Did Work Before The Fix.

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

Alright Looks Like You Need More Info, Its A DSiWare Game Called Come On! Heroes, The Game Works Good But The Rosalina Menu Doesn't Open While I Play The Game, Neither Does The BootNTR (Selector) Menu.

Just like Swadow said before, when you are loading and DS, DSi title your 3DS boot into DS mode and in DS mode all 3DS specific features don't work, that's how it works

First of all I'm a woman so don't call me f'n bruh or brah or bro that's hugely disrespectful go learn how to properly speak to females . Secondly I said sounds like its bricked I never said must be bricked so bruh read the thread.

Thirdly ds games clearly aren't working right as @Xonare 3ds switches off when playing them.

And last but not least if you are not willing to suggest a way for xonare to fix the problem then you have no need to be here being a dick. Thank you

Wait a sec, where dose it says that 3DS switch off? OP said that "CFW is turning off" and not that whole system is shutting down aka DS mode works fine only 3DS specific features don't work... and this is normal

Ok so wheh replying to someone actually check their name before commenting to avoid being inadvertently rude to them.

Secondly my original post has been liked by TurdPooCharger who as we all know is the fountain of all knowledge on this site when it comes to the 3ds so he clearly things my post was the correct advice or we are both totally wrong and that's not like TurdPooCharger. Anyhoo whatever is going on the op has to be clearer with what the actual issue is.

If the actual issue is that luma is not working in ds mode well then as you say there is no issue as luma is purely for 3ds mode not ds mode.
You're wrong. Simple. I'd say I'm reasonably knowledgeable about this subject.

And well, I just skipped over the name straight to the post.

Figure that I better provide some sort of alternative since you are wanting bootntr and the rosalina menu to access what I assume would be cheats, give R4 cards a try. While you will have to put the dsiware on the R4 cart and play it instead of having it installed straight on the system. You should also have access to a cheat menu before you launch the game that you want to play

CycloDS iEvolution is one of the few carts that can play dsiware games. You might have to do some more research into what other carts exist and can play dsiware games, but it's an alternative to what you are trying to do. I currently use the R4i Gold plus, but I don't know if it plays dsiware.

but not being able to access bootntr and rosalina menu while playing the dsiware game is normal since rosalina and bootntr is 3ds mode only

hmm, I don't think I have one of those yet. I might get one of those myself, it'll be a decent addition to my collection.

another quick alternative is by using Nitrohax.
I've used it before and it works, but you need to use some tools to shrink down the size of the cheat database because the application has a size limit.
It can be installed as a CIA, and is able to launch slot-1 carts with cheats applied.

Sorry to let you down but only iEvo is capable of running DSi enhanced games, no DSiware or DSi only games can be played directly from Flashcard... but TWiLight Menu++ can help wit that ;) and it has cheats support as well

sorry my last statement wasn't true, you can play DSiWare and dsi only games from any flashcard as long as it is done by TWiLight Menu++
ahh yes, i didn't even think about TWiLight Menu++. I have it installed, and it works really well. Its able to run a rom hack of mkds that I could never get to run with my r4 or TWLMenu (old TWiLight Menu++).

We were both half right lol

I saw someone saying that the ievo was able to play dsiware games in another post so I assumed it was true and like I said, I only have the r4i gold plus lol

AK2i along with AKAiO has no problem with DSi titles, and has cheat support.

It's the mirror side of the same issue that makes physical DS games (designed to read from slot-1) not work if installed to twlnand - and just like certain demos DO work that way (due to not loading further data after they start), a small number of DSiwares happen to work from a DSi flashcard (or even a DS flashcard if they run in DS mode - like Pictochat 2) :)

It runs them in DS mode, though (as do most flashcards) - without DSi features
