Homebrew R4 Stage2 TWL Flashcart Launcher(and perhaps other cards soon™)....

[Apache Thunder]

Cool. I can try and make a version that boots in DSi mode. Maybe it will work better then the R4 did in DSi mode.

i will test ty for your hard work (btw i had this error since my first r4, my pokemon black 2 when the 3d model of the legendary come stays at black screen and dont leave do nothing until the 3d model time is over and the game is about to reload all again (i have like 15 sec to click start and the game load my save and play is really anoying to wait 3 minutes at black screen with shitty sound cause the sound it´s like corrupted at this part)) so i try taking another black 2 but the same with the black 1 i can play perfect, any ideas?

 

[Apache Thunder]

Have not played Black 1. Sounds like maybe the rom was corrupted?

Anyways. DSi mode launchers for R4i Gold. See if any games boot. If so, test if the DSi enhanced games recognize DSi mode:

R4iGold_DSiModeLaunchers.rar

These have new TIDs, so they won't conflict with your existing NTR version. Though you can only have one version of the DSi mode launcher installed at a time since they both have the same TID.

sure on my way (i test another roms of black 2 and the same thing)

Edit: the dsi hibrid mode charge the menu and i can select the game i want but then the r4 crashed and i had to reset

Edit 2: the other stays at white screen

Darn. Seems to do the same thing as the WoodR4 Launcher. Maybe once my R4 comes I can try and get YSMenu working or something. Might work better in DSi mode.

Excelent work on the Launcher men, it Works PERFECTLY.

Using Original R4
Format FAT16
Wood 1.62
Soft-Reset Working (R4 Reset)
Returns to the Home Menu without errors.

Im so happy with this, I can play my old games again since my NDS "died" years ago. ;-;

Sorry for asking but would there be any chance of attempting to make a DSi mode launcher for the ace3ds plus?
Here is the link to the firmware in case that is needed: http://www.ace3ds.com/ace-3ds-download.html It is already running Wood (but modified?).
I might also be able to dump things that might be needed if possible with a DSi and if not I am actually going to do the a hard mod on that and install the DSi HBLauncher if that would help in any way.

I've been following this thread since its inception and saw that there were some attempts to get the original CycloDS Evo working. I don't quite know if the dumps were bad but if you want to give it another shot or are missing something from it I have a functioning DS Lite and Cyclo DS that I can pull info from.

Either way great job on everything you've done so far!

 

[ZeCroque]

Is R4-SDHC definitely dead Apache? :/

 

[Konwaku]

Wait...It worked?

Just asking; is there a working launcher for the first R4 SDHC?

 

[Apache Thunder]

No working launchers for R4 SDHC at the moment. They appear to be clones of the DSTT (or the DSTT clones of them. Not sure which way it is. ) and the DSTT has been just as troublesome to get working.

I don't think anyone has sent me a rom dump of it yet (or if they had, it was before the arm7 patch was a thing) CycloDS does not have a kernel SRL like the R4s, so a rom dump would be the only way of getting those working. So if you can do one, that would be great. I can try and get that one working. It's been only the R4 SDHC rom dumps that are coming up bad and unusable.

Does that mean that the DSTT cia I linked works?
EDIT: this one
http://www.battlefieldsingleplayer.com/apachethunder/3ds/YSMENU_DSTT_Launcher.cia

 

[Apache Thunder]

Don't know. I think that CIA link you dug up is old and probably doesn't work. I can't recall if I made that one before or after arm7 patching was possible.

EDIT:

Ace3DS+ Launchers ready:

Ace3DS_Launchers.rar

Ace3DS's DS flashcart (or it's DS mode if it is one of those dual mode carts) appears to be a clone of Gateway's Blue Cart since it's kernel SRL was encrypted the sameway. Had to use the decryptor specific to gateway's card, so it's definitely a clone of that.

Knowing that....it probably won't work because I can't get Gateway's version of WoodR4 to read Gateway's Blue Cart either.

For the ppl that get the menu without any letters make sure you use a 2gb sd or LESS

Well it does seem to be that way unfortunately, thanks for trying though.
Both the NTR and TWL launchers load it to a mode where I can't see the theme and have the upper screen white and the touch screen with the 3 icons (SD, Slot2 and I think the last one is Favorites or Games?) with a black background and no text on screen and if I try to access the SD or Slot2 I get a error screen with a green border and an empty folder on the last entry.
Also I do have one of those old versions that wasn't updated to work on DSi 1.4.4 in case that matters in any way.
Will also try formatting the microSD card to Fat16 to see if things change.

Also just a question that I want to ask now: as there is a working YS/TT menu for this (not auto-boot but loaded from and .nds file) could making a loader that loads that instead make any difference?

Uh...maybe it's just me, but my Ace3ds Plus works just fine with a patched TWL_firm...I can launch it from the system menu directly or through TWL Slot1 launcher V3. Shows up as Stormbreaker.

Mine is Metroid Prime, lol?
But yes it does load fine with both of those methods but what I was hoping for was the ability to load it in TWL mode when I asked if a loader could be made.

EDIT: Plus TBH it takes about 1-2 min for mine to load and the in-game reset is broken with just launching the cartridge (does not do anything whatever) and works only a couple of times with the Slot1 launcher then freezes when I try to load a game.

 

[Apache Thunder]

Someone wanted me to make a DSi mode launcher for it. For most folks, a launcher wasn't needed since it works without any launchers. It was just to see if it would work in DSi mode. But of coarse that seems not possible because like with Gateway Blue Cart, WoodR4 launched in this way can't access the card.

Whew, I forgot how slow the WiFi on the NDS was... Anyway, here's the ROM dump of the CycloDS Evo. Verified the crc with the one in wood dumper and it matches so it should be a complete dump.
