Use TMFH to install Cave Story on Hiya.

Does that come with installing hiyaCFW or is it seperate?

You can launch TMFH using either TWLMenu++ or Unlaunch, and then select the Cave Story ROM.

So I did launch it, clicked on the rom, installed it, and there still was no save. Do I need to launch the game through the TMFH?

You can't.

You'll have to find an existing save then.

Yeah, it works fine for me

In all honest man, thanks anyway for the help.

Lucky. I literally spent 2 days trying to get it to work. Oh well. I think I might give up honestly. Don't know what else there is to do.

Well, I sort of lied lol there is another way perhaps. Im sure your familiar with jEnesis? well I could play the genesis port of Cave Story through there, which works fine, and hey, even saves. But there is a problem with the latest version of the port. When I try to play the latest version, 0.7.0, (which was a .bin file that I renamed and changed to .gen so that it would appear, which it did) the screen goes white, and i get the error:

Error 1: nds-bootstrap (Release) not found

You're missing the hb nds-bootstrap.
Download it here.

Make sure you're on the release nds-bootstrap build in TWLMenu++ Settings.

 

[Jergum]

Make sure you're on the release nds-bootstrap build in TWLMenu++ Settings.

I believe I am. Went to the settings and at the very top it said "nds-bootstrap Ver. Release v0.35.1"

and when i went to the option for either nightly or release, it said release.

Is "nds-bootstrap-hb-release.nds" in "sd:/_nds/"?

 

[Jergum]

Is "nds-bootstrap-hb-release.nds" in "sd:/_nds/"?

Yes. Both nightly and release.

 

[RocketRobz]

Yes. Both nightly and release.

Try reinstalling TWiLight Menu++ here.
If that doesn't fix it, I'm out of ideas.

No luck. oof. only version 0.3.3 works. It plays and can save, but the graphics are crap. maybe its because the newer updates exceed the file size? but all in all, maybe im not meant to play Cave Story XD

I got it working with the DSi version, I made a dummy 16KB save file and it worked fine, here it is
(It's not a txt, GBAtemp just disallows .sav files for reasons. Be sure to rename it to public.sav and put it into /title/00030004/4b435645/data if using the US version)
