Homebrew issue with nds-bootstrap and Animal Crossing: Wild World on CFW'd old 3DS

[izder456]

Hello, I have a bit of an issue with twilight menu, and subsequently nds-bootstrap.

Issue :

Upon loading twilight menu, and attempting to launch ACWW, I get a nds-bootstrap splash screen. then, a black flash in the top screen. and then solid white on both screens until console is force shut-down, or when returned to 3ds home menu.​

Steps to produce issue :

1. I installed latest Luma3DS CFW twilight menu
2. I backed up my childhood copy of ACWW using godmode9.
3. Back up my save using TWL Save tool
4. put backed up rom in sd://roms/nds/.
5. and put backed up save in sd://roms/nds/saves/.
6. launch ACWW from twilight menu

My Atempts to fix :

1. put twilight menu in DS mode
2. put twilight menu in DSi mode
3. put twilight menu in arm7 mode
4. put twilight menu in arm9 mode
5. put twilight menu in DS mode & NTR clock
6. put twilight menu in DSi mode & NTR clock
7. rerun ctr-notimeoffset in HBL, because of possible system time issue i've seen in an other GBAtemp thread.
8. I've also tried all above with Forwarder3-DS.

none of these steps seemed to work

Any one got any suggestions?

It could be because your console DS functionality is broken. Also, if your actual Luma version is outdated. And finally, it could because a TWLMenu outdated version too

• On first case, try with this: https://3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting#dsi--ds-functionality-is-broken-after-completing-the-guide
• On second case, download the latest Luma version from here, then extract and put on the root of the console SD the boot.firm and boot.3dsx files.
• On third case, follow this: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/wiki/updating-(3ds,-manual)

I would try the steps listed above. That being said, is there a reason you're playing Wild World instead of New Leaf on the 3DS?

@izder456: Sorry, perharps I could misunderstood your exactly problem with TWLMenu and that game

Have you checked if that game is compatible with ntr-bootstrap (on compatibility list)? And what about if you change the "reset slot-1" actual state option?

it looks like its compatible (i made sure to check before backing it up) i'll try that option. currently updating twilight menu with universal updater.....

nostalgia, it was my first ds game.

@fmkid i don't see that option in TWilight menu options

Well, TBH, I don't exactly remember what option is related with that I said, but I believe there's some similar one.

On the other hand, check this out: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiL...creen-when-trying-to-load-a-game-from-sd-card

And finally, try to make again the cart dump to discard any kind of corruption or fault on the dumped .nds file

turns out my allocation size was 16kb and not 32kb so after backing up, reformatting and reloading, it worked! thank you for your help!
