Homebrew NTR Launcher - Bring back that classic DS boot screen for your DS games!

[Ownster]

As of 1.9.1 using the Alt Build, I can boot my R4 SDHC 1.44 DSI cart easily, thank you.

Sorry , I think I'm very stupid , I watched the video and still can't figure it out . So this launch roms directly on 3ds sd card and emulate the flash card ?? Am I right ?

Wrong. It said nothing about that. With this, you can launch your DS game/flashcard that's in Slot-1 with the original DS boot animation added.

That is it !! ... DS flash cards are already supported on the 3ds , so the only thing is the ds boot animation ... thanks for the explanation

Can someone explain to me why some cards seem to not work? From what I understand NTR Launcher launches cartridges and not ROMs or kernels. So why would cards fail to launch even before the kernel on the card can load?

Wrong again. Not all DS flash cards are supported on 3ds. Even when DS whitelist is on v0 or patched out, only DSi-compatible cards are supported.

Luma 6.2 and up doesn't patch the TWL dev Launcher anymore. Could you do something for it? :C

you dont need dev launcher patching unless your using the older stage 2 & stage 3 launchers, the latest versions of NTRLauncher are designe dto around this fact, if you NEED twl dev launcher patching, theres LumaDEV

For those who couldn't get NTR Launcher to work with their card, get a rom dump of your card and try running it with this:

https://github.com/ApacheThunder/NTR_BootStrap/releases

Install the cia and place the nds folder on the root of your 3DS SD card. The INI file contains various settings. The only one you should have to change is the NDS path. Change it to match your rom. I'm not sure if it handles spaces in filenames correctly so make sure not to use spaces in the rom file name.

If any cards work, I'll make dedicated Stage3 Launchers with this. This new stage3 launcher template does not require the dev launcher patch like my older one.

Wooddumper doesn't seem to work with my card. Is there another way to dump it?

Decrypt9.

If Decrypt9 and Wooddumper fail to dump it correctly you will need to use an older dumper. NDS Backup Tool Wifi is on filetrip. Grab that and run it with my new bootstrap program. Be sure to enable the resetslot1 option!

The only downside is because it can't use DLDI on 3DS SD, it will use default IP for FTP server. So you'll need to reconfigure your PC/Router's IP so that your PC can have the default IP it expects. Once you do that and have your FTP server running, you can then dump your card with that program. Assuming you used the resetslot1 option in the INI file, the card is ready. Do NOT eject the card like it asks. Just hit A and it should be able to init the card.

If Wooddumper dumps a corrupted rom, it's highly likely Decrypt9 will as well. This is the case with my DS-Xtreme. Only NDS Backup Tool Wifi did it correctly. There's a slot2 version of NDS Backup Tool, but without working DLDI for 3DS SD yet, we can't use it.

Iirc @ahezard is working on DLDI for 3DS right now, correct?

 

[Apache Thunder]

Yeah but he hasn't touched that in awhile since his focus is on rom loader. But I'll ask him about it.

Why can't I set a custom server IP in the .ini?

 

[RocketRobz]

Because, what he said.

 

[Apache Thunder]

The ini file needs DLDI access to be read. So it goes to using default value stored in the NDS file. DLDI for 3DS SD is not available yet.

NTR Bootstrap whitescreens.

 

[Mapachillo]

Hello, I've tried to use my N5 card (which is a replica of R4), and i cannot get it to work. It stays on a white screen, i've used the NTR and Alt NTR, but still the same. It appears that this card uses the Akaio kernel files. I tried with different kernels and still white screen. Can you please help me.

I have a new 3ds on firmwar 11.0
