nds-bootstrap loader: Run commercial NDS backups from an SD Card

lone_wolf323 · Apr 25, 2020

Does anyone know if there is a way to search for cheats within a NDS game when on twilightmenu++? It seems to Phantasy Star Zero that Infinite PP has changed in values in game as when patched with DSATM the file goes from a 128mb game file to a 115mb game file and it seems that that particular code gets changed when in twilight. Yes the Infinite PP works perfectly using the patched game and DeSmuME yet 2 of the 3 codes work on twilight.

Thank you so much @Robz8 !
Bowser's Inside Story is working perfectly without any crashes after opening a save file.
Still testing out Tomodachi Collection though.

Tomodachi Collection still has the same problem for me ;-;

Try a full reinstall of TWLMenu++ then.
If it doesn't fix it, then it could be your ROM.

Of course I did what you said, and yes, the save file worked, but I created another Mii and saved it then turned off my DSi then opened the rom file again and the Mii I created wasn't there. It vANISHES

That sounds very strange.I am very sorry,I really have no Idea except some TWiLight Settings maybe.

On the Games and Apps Settings:

Maybe trying the Logging Option.

Good Luck
Thank you.

You need to convert the files, even if they're already .mp4

v0.35.0
Released as part of TWiLight Menu++'s 3rd Anniversary!

What's new? (B4DS)

A lot more games are now compatible!
For certain THUMB game titles, you'll need a Donor ROM for it's respective SDK version.
If using TWiLight Menu++, if a Donor ROM isn't set, it'll tell you if the game needs one, when launching.
ROMs that are either 256MB or 512MB, no longer need a Memory Expansion Pak to run.
This means that those ROMs can now be played on a DSi or 3DS as well!
NOTE: A Memory Expansion Pak is still required for some AP-fixes (those that take place in the overlays) to work.

Bug fix

Fixed Region 2 MPU patching.
This achieves the above feature.
Soft-resetting now works with Memory Pit.

Update:

On the DSi XL it still works.The Save File is still there and works after the Update to v15.0.0.

On the DSi The Save File is in the SAVES Folder but did not work anymore.
Here are the Error Message(s) when I start the Game:

(Excuse me,If I can not write the Meaning of it but my Japanese is a little "out of Order" today. :rofl2:

).

Maybe it is an SD Card Issue because I use there an regular 64 GB SD Card ?

EDIT 2: The Save Game from the first Release Version works on the DSi.
I try a new SAVE for Rev.1 Version.

EDIT 3: Made a new Save Game and it works.Sorry for the Confusion,I think I had used the Save File from @FriskyAl0310 and forget it to replace.

All ok,all is good !!!

Thank you.
