I'll try copy the rom so it's at root of sd card and remake the forwarder

The rom can be anywhere.

This is probably due to a small bug, I will have a look. You are using the US version?

US version used to work too... I was able to start the game without problem and see the first animation.

EDIT: Captain Tsubasa used t work too like Professor Layton if it helps...

BTW 999 is almost working! Look that:

I have a question, I didn't note much of improvement into loading speeds in MegaMan ZX with the last aezard relase. Did I miss something or was not intended to improve this game?.

I have a 64GB card and N3DS, i don't think it's speed of the card. (it's these new high speed cards )

Hmm I need to setup the donner rom and see if that fixes any of my games.

What's your cluster size? It has to be 32kb, or else you'll encounter problems like that.

It fixes certain games like English of the Dead, Lunar Knights those are the only games I have that it fixes saving for.

Yes. You can download bootstrap in TWLoader. Just press X in the settings screen.

Using Mario Kart DS as donor also lets Ace Attorney Justice For All save as well, or it did for me.

Hey, nds-bootstrap specialists, any way to configure nds-bootstrap to use *.sav as save-extension and not *nds.sav? Well, it isn't that much important, if that isn't possible i will just rename my save files.

bootstrap uses both *.nds.sav and *.sav. TWLoader configures the save path with the *.sav extension.

What i meant:

My Flashcart is configured to *.sav, so all my save files are in *.sav
But TWLoader+NDS-Bootstrap saves in *.nds.sav, so my old *.sav won't be used and i don't know how to configure that.
Tested that on a rom without save file, it saves to *.nds.sav and not *.sav, don't know how to configure that.
And in some of my ROM folders are *.nds.sav (old) and *.sav (new, renamed) and he uses the *.nds.sav, i would like to use nds-bootstrap+twloader my old *.sav, because i don't wanna rename and like *.sav extension more.

Hope thats clear, couldn't find an option to that in the *.ini files or twloader options, but maybe i'm too blind.

I don't understand.
Are you running the games from SD Card or Flashcard?

From Flashcard (R4 Revolution 3DS RTS), there is *.sav configured. In Flashcard (without nds-bootstrap+twloader) it uses and creates *.sav, with the "overlay" twloader+nds-bootstrap it's *.nds.sav.

Hope you understand or someone else does, i try to describe the best i can

What's the SAV_PATH in "sdmc:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini"?
