Homebrew nds-bootstrap compatibility

[simbin]

I found a compatibility list on the following github, but it's very inaccurate. Many of the games listed as working get stuck on saving, sometimes before the game can even start. Others simply black screen. Is there an updated list being maintained?

Which games are shown as getting stuck on saving?

I manually created some saves with an emulator and copied them over. That fixed a couple of the games that failed to load, which access their saves on launch. I still need to test if saves are working from within the game though. Is that normal procedure - making saves first (nds-bootstrap) can't create them on its own?

Save creation works fine. It gets stuck, because there seems to be a stability issue with libnds' SD code.
It's fixed by waking the console from sleep mode.

Hmm okay that's odd. Never used sleep mode in my tests. Thanks

Yeah I don't, maybe it's just me.. but I still get lots of problems unless I copy an existing .sav over first. I forgot to mention earlier, that most games won't even start without existing .sav and throw the "Guru Meditation Error! data abort!"

That's only an issue with the Acekard theme.

Ah that's a bummer. I switched from the DSi theme because it wouldn't always load DSiWare.

Thanks R4 theme seems to fixed my issues, so I'm no longer pulling my hair out. Never would have guessed themes were causing the problems

i just tried chrono trigger and final fantasy 4 and they both have problems on the touchscreen. The lists say they work with no issues. So what's going on here? what could i be doing wrong?

What console are you using?
Also, make sure you're on the latest nds-bootstrap version.

@Robz8 Impossible Mission is missing from the compatibility list. It runs perfectly using latest bootstrap/TWiLightMenu on 3ds with zero graphical/sound/gameplay issues I have tested it for many hours.

Disney's Frozen: Olaf's Quest is missing from the list. As of nds-bootstrap 0.29.0 and TWLMenu++ v12.0.0 the game suffers from corrupted graphics where stuff from the top screen and bottom screen somehow get mixed up rendering the game unplayable.

Set it to run with NTR clock speed.

Hi, i don't know if i have to put this here, but i need help with something.
I have the latest Twilight Menu version, and i was trying to play "Mecha! Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Nanatsu no Shima no Daibouken!" but everytime i try to play it, if i use the DS mode or the DSI mode the game doesn't runs, it keeps at an white screen or a black screen at bottom and a white one, sometimes it runs but the upper screen is sometimes on the bottom one or it has some like glitches in the graphics? (sorry if i have a bad english, i'm from mexico)

Run with NTR clock speed, and turn heap shrink off, if it doesn't boot.
