Hey guys. After updating TwilightMenu to 20.0.1 and nds-bootstrap to 0.39 New Super Mario Bros just boots as two white screens on my DSi XL. Other games i've tried work fine (mariokart ds, pokemon diamond, etc) What could be the issue? Tried different roms from different regions and nothing. It used to work fine.

I am having same issue. I just got pair of DSi handhelds and latest version of Twilight and nds bootstrap is actually first i ever used. I thought i was doing something wrong, did reinstallation of Twilight + Hiya + Unlaunched twice, upgraded from 1.4.3 to 1.4.5, changed running parameters and different roms but i still can't launch NSMB, every other rom i tried seems to be working fine.

its not a save issue cause when you try a different region rom it creates a new save file and it still doesnt work...

this happened to me once on the latest twilight menu++ with a normal nds (not dsi), but after that, it works without issue. it may only happen sometimes (not sure). I'm charging my nds atm, so I'll try it again after it's finished. I tried it once, white screens, then two more times, and it worked without issue. the only thing I did differently is I went into the game's settings with Y and X. I didn't delete the game, and I didn't change save. I did go from 0 to 1, then back to 0, but didn't save it. I'm using a dstwo.

alright, I just tested my ds again after it was fully charged, and the game worked no problem. the first time might've been a fluke. I'd ask @Robz8 if you're having problems with that game.

going to the previous twilight and nds-bootstrap or using an R4 until the new version fixes it
Should i just go to 20.0.0 or back to 19?

I'm on TWLMENU++ 23.1.0, nds-bootstrap 0.51.0 and it's still happening on my side.
I don't have this issue on the exact same version. I'd reformat the SD and see if it helps.

Also, there was a hotfix update 2 hours ago, I'd test that as well (though iirc there were no fixes related to this game in particular).
