reading the release notes it mentions ds/DSi carts working from the home menu, any list of compatible carts? Or do we still need the twloader?

I have a cyclo ds evolution, a r4i upgrade and a m3i zero(original not the updated version for the last DSi fw update). Will any of those work?

If the icon for the CycloDS isn't shown in the HOME Menu, you'll still need TWLoader.

The icon is show, however when I try running it get an error telling me to press and hold the power button. The same thing that happened when I tried running it using the twloader on luma 6.6 a few months back.

Can you see the screens turning off and then on again before the error, after you run the cart?
Also, my Acekard RPG works fine and that's an original DS (not DSi) cart :)

If it helps, my R4i RTS 3DS (Kernel that says "なぞなぞ&クイズ一答入魂Qメイト!Konami Digital Entertainment" or something like that on the home menu) works without the need of TWLoader.

R4i SDHC v1.4.1 doesnt work. But it show on Home Menu with and without the whitelist. Get an error of "upgrade your firmware version blablabla" and its already on the latest version of firmware etc.

Luma patches out the DS Cart White list check in Home Menu now so many older carts can boot. However Luma doesn't yet patch out the arm7 code/ram entry address range limit. Your flashcart's internal NTR header likely uses an arm7 code/ram entry range that goes into that range it doesn't like. Hence the error. If they ever do patch that out of TWL_FIRM, I could imagine all the carts would boot from Home Menu then. :D

Until then the only way you can boot it is through this:

"upgrade your firmware version" isn't a 3DS OS error, it's a flashcart software error (from the sound of it), so it doesn't count

But why? Before updating to a9lh to b9s (on v6.6 i think) this flashcard works. But then on the newest releases i cant get the flashcard work (tried every new release since the error appears.) So i dont think its a sofware error (i'm Not an expert, but if work on oldest version why not on the newest?)

Did you extract the files/folders in the "sdroot" folder in TWLoader.7z to your SD card root?

I got the twloader from the titledb on fbi and the nand side from the qr from the thread on here.
I'm not sure which "fw" the cart currently has installed, not sure if it's the latest(2.3) or not will have to check.

Well just tried it, the cyclods evo worked even on 1.54 fw(last update was 2.3 from what I've read). Well worked as in it loaded the cart, tried running a game which ran tho not done much more testing than that.
