TWiLight Menu, nds-bootstrap white screen when starting ROMs

[daniss]

Hey there,
looks like I can't get nds bootstrap running DS-ROMS on my old 3DS. No matter if I start the freshly dumped ROM (the Nintendo DS card itself is working fine, tried Mario Party DS, Mario Kart DS and some more) via TWiLight Menu++ or with any of the 3DS forwarders directly from HOME. ROMs are correctly identified, the icon and titles are correct.

When starting from a fresh installation: top screen white (black bars due to DS-Mode), bottom screen shows creating savefile, creating pagefile.sys, then stays black or turns white.
When retrying: After klicking on the game, both screens just turn white, nothing happens. Again, with the black bars left and right on the top screen.

What I've tried:
Waiting for like half an hour.
Removing all save files.
Different ROMs, dumped with gm9 of my DS-Cards or from the internet. Tried both .trim.nds and .nds
Formatting the SD Card twice, using a different SD Card
Reinstalling nds-bootstrap, TWiLight Menu++, redumping ROMs
Starting via DS Game Forwarder and YANBF instead of TWiLight

Using nds-bootstrap Release v0.70.0
TWiLight Menu++ v25.8.1

Does anyone got some further advice?

Is the same for all DS games or just those two games (MK & MP DS)? Did you get any DS game to work? If not, it's likely the ds functionality is broken. It's easy to fix it though.

It's the same behavior on any DS game, i could get my hands on.

Try TWLFix (click on DSi / DS functionality is broken or has been replaced with Flipnote Studio).

I don't think, that's the problem. TWiLight Menu itself is working fine, I also just tried the Counter Strike port, which is an .nds. That runs like a charm, starting via TWiLight.
However, I can't get any 'official' roms running. Just tried some different from various rom-sharing websites, I do get the exact same results like with my dumped games from the ds cards. Fxcking white screens.

edit: tried the fix anyways, it didn't change a thing.

did you do a system update afterwards?

 

[daniss]

yeah I did. The fix worked just fine, but it wasn't the problem in the first place.

hey guys, I have been experiencing an issue with my N2DS XL ; when I try to install a forwarder for the NDS game "Fire Emblem, New Mystery of the emblem" I get an error message like: "Install failed, Check the log for errors 0xffffffff" and I don't know what that means... it's the only game that shows that error with the v1.4.3 of the forwarder. Can anybody help me find a solution/explanation? Thanks

I assume you're using a 3ds? Are you using the latest version of TWilightMenu? You don't have Emunand do you?

More details pls..
Are you on the 3ds?
Are you using the latest TWilightMenu/nds bootstrap?
Have you tried with roms obtained from the internet (don't ask where) and not just your cartridge dumps?

I have injected homebrew onto the SD card and followed instructions from there.

It runs .cias files ok

The issue is adding backwards compatibility (built in ds games). I have gotten as far as adding them to the device and having them show on the home screen however, when clicked on, it just loads a white screen and then gets suck (the white screen that usually progressed to the "nintendo ds" bootstrap/intro screen). sometimes i can go to home screen but nothing happens on reboot or relaunch.

Twilight Menu++ does the same thing.

I have all (that Im aware of) software required:
TwiLight Menu++
NDS Bootleg
NDS Forwarder

Still all white screen on boot.

I have tried a reformatting of the SD card, reinstall of all mentioned apps, readding new dsl files and purging files followed by another reinstall.

Been at it for hours lol
