Error has occurred screen means you tried to launch it from emunand without having it installed to sysnand too or your TWL_FIRM isn't patched. If you recently updated to latest build of rxTools, you need to force it to do the data install again.
Well, this is where the problem is, I have installed it to sys and emunand, as well as forcing rxtools to undergo the installation again. I will try and install the cia for the launcher again on both nands, maybe something there did not quite work out.

Ok i hope you get it working for the M3

I'm in the line behind you.
I've been doing the tests for all the M3 firmwares available.

Try launching it from sysnand to be sure. (also devmode does not patch TWL_FIRM, so don't use it for this)

Install TWL_FIRM on EmuNAND, install launcher on Sys- and EmuNAND, IIRC.

That error screen also occurs if you're using the old version of @Aurora Wright 's patched twl_firm. My wood R4 wouldn't work until I updated it. Running on sysnand.

There's something wrong with your setup. If it was the card, you'd see a no UI themed WoodR4 menu with no text.

Ok wait so how do I install the patched twlfirm? Do I have to delete the other one first because it isn't letting me install the cia

You'll need to uninstall it using FBI first or use DevMenu 2x to overwrite it. I believe FBI may uninstall it for you. But that didn't work last time I tried. (is using FBI, be sure to set destination to NAND first)

This thread I'll dedicate to DSiWare designed to launch older DS flashcarts on the 3DS/n3DS. (and by old, I mean VERY old stuff. Stuff my TWL Slot-1 Launcher fails to work for)

This is separate from my TWL Slot-1 Launcher due to the fact that this works a bit differently and each launcher (if there are more I get working in the future) are specific to their flashcart and can't be used to launch slot-1 in general. Unlike TWL Slot-1 Launcher, if you intend to use this on emunand, you must have the DSiWare app in question installed to BOTH emunand AND sysnand!

But remember, you only need patched TWL_FIRM on emunand if using CIA of patched TWL_FIRM! Unless you are using rxTools of coarse. rxTools currently has the new TWL_FIRM patches that this needs. (that's o3DS exclusive though at the moment as rxTools doesn't yet have support for patching TWL_FIRM/AGB_FIRM of n3DS)


The above video shows the ORIGINAL R4 working on a n3DS/3DS for the first time! The original R4 has not worked even on the DSi! So that cheap 4/8 dollar flashcart that's still for sale in some places is now compatible with the 3DS using this launcher! Note this is a WoodR4 firmware launcher, thus you need WoodR4 files installed on your R4!


Download Link:
WoodR4Launcher.rar

It installs like any normal CIA. (Set destination to NAND if installing with FBI). Once installed, insert your R4 and boot this app. It will then start up the WoodR4 menu and games will be loaded from your R4's MicroSD card.

I will post launchers for other carts if and when I can get them converted and confirmed working. :D

AND I JUST BOUGHT AN R4i 3DS RTS. Oh well, it's nice to have an upgraded card.

Ok, maybe it will work out if I go reinand and install the TWL Patches manualy. Although its weird, since rxTools worked perfect, including gba and Dsi games (jap. Advance Wars)

In BigBlueManager (I think) it says I can enter start + y to "update firmware" , should I do this to install on emunand


Edit: I tried this and it came up with an error

Just got done doing DSTT:

DSTT_Launcher.rar

I can do YSMenu next, but it's unlikely to work. The builds of YSMenu I've tried haven't worked. :(

The above launcher I just posted boots to two white screens with a animated progress box icon in the bottom screen. Looks like it's trying to load DSTT stuff, so might work for those who actually have DSTT. I can't test it further as I don't own one. :P

NOOO! That's only for NATIVE_FIRM! Don't use that command for anything else!

Hmm, I did as you said and used fbi manager to install the patched twlfirm and it deleted the other one and it installed fine. I then installed the cia but when I load the r4 it says error and I need to power down the system

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Any idea of what I did wrong? I have the wood firm on my r4 original already

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I think it is because I didnt install the cia to sysnand, how would I go about doing that
