@Robz8 The Tomodachi Collection has a problem... it saves the first time I save and it doesn't save anymore, can you help me?

The next TWLMenu++ version will contain a fixed AP patch for Tomodachi Collection, so that it fixes this bug.

FriskyAl0310 · Apr 17, 2020

Oh wait so there's a new version on the way?

Yep, and they're now released!
This is what you're looking for, and includes the below nds-bootstrap version as well.

v0.33.0

What's new?

Remember when we needed a Mario Kart DS ROM for SDK3-4 games to work or save?
The ROM acted as a Donor ROM, and what that means, is that nds-bootstrap grabs the donor's arm7 binary, replacing the original ROM's arm7 binary, in order for the save patches to work, and there was a few side effects as a result.
Considering that we implemented more save patches, why am I talking about this? Because guess what?
The Donor ROM feature is back!
Why, you may ask? Because there's a few SDK5 games that still don't boot, because the save patches aren't working for those games, and it is unknown why.
Now that we re-added Donor ROMs, these games will now successfully boot:
- Anpanman to Touch de Waku Waku Training
- Layton Kyouju to Majin no Fue (Japanese version of Professor Layton and the Specter)
- Mimi's Party Fun
- and around 30-ish more... (and no, this doesn't include Golden Sun: Dark Dawn)
Unlike last time, where you just needed to set Mario Kart DS as a Donor ROM, you can now set a particular SDK5 DS game as a Donor ROM, such as Bookworm, which I recommend!
(Thanks to @retrogamefan for the arm7 replacement discovery!)

Bug fixes

WarioWare: DIY and Jam with the Band no longer shows "An error has occurred".
B4DS: Heap is now always shrunk by 16KB for 64MB ROMs or lower.
Does not apply to users with the Memory Expansion Pak.

How do you update the current TWiLight Menu++ to a newer one? I'm sorry if I'm annoying...

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

Oh nevermind, found it
Thanks for the link by the way!

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

Just another question, how do you automatically boot to DSiMenu++ instead of TWiLight Menu++?

They're the same app. DSiMenu++ is the prior name of TWiLight Menu++.

FriskyAl0310 · Apr 17, 2020

Oh- my bad. I didn't know. Thank you anyway! I'll try to boot up my DSi now

FriskyAl0310 · Apr 17, 2020

The bug still exists on Tomodachi Collection???
Both the version with no AP and with AP does the same bug

FriskyAl0310 · Apr 17, 2020

Bowser's inside story crashes after few second of running. I think it was the new update, because the older one I'm in before updating was not like this. But it's fine, I can wait

The only crash I get sometimes, is when I load a save file.

I didn't update but both the link is from the same site

For the Bowser's Inside Story I get the same crash. It also crashes either after loading a save file or going to the save file and going back to the main menu

You need to update to TWiLight Menu++ v14.0.0 and nds-bootstrap v0.33.0.
If you already did, then the Tomodachi AP fix may still bugged.

FriskyAl0310 · Apr 18, 2020

How do you know the version of TWiLightMenu++?

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

I have nds-bootstrap ver. Release v0.33.0

Look at the bottom-right of the top screen in TWLMenu++ Settings.

FriskyAl0310 · Apr 18, 2020

Oh it's still v13.1.0
Also I put a file without the hb thing file on the sd card... maybe I might be wrong

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

I can update it later

FriskyAl0310 · Apr 18, 2020

Is there any way that I can create a theme? Or find others? I want some like pastellic colored, mostly a yellow pastel;;

FriskyAl0310 · Apr 18, 2020

Bowser's Inside Story still crashes the same way before...
As for Tomodachi Collection, it still doesn't save as before too ;-;

I only ask,do you know there are two Revisions from the Tomodachi Collection ?
Maybe you can "search" for an Rev.1 Rom.
