Ok, so for some reason I can no longer run my Slot-1 card through either TWLoader or NTR Launcher unless I have the debug console on in TWLoader. I was able to run games fine yesterday. What happened?

That's strange. NTR Launcher doesn't read TWLoader's .ini file.
Should probably clarify: TWLoader won't launch my slot-1 card without debug console on, and NTR Launcher won't launch it period. I'm still able to launch it from the home menu, however, the Forwarder package made it so clicking on DS GAME automatically takes me to DSFTP, which is useless to me.

I got my NDS flashcard (M3DS Real) to run on my N3DS XL with the NTR Launcher. Now I started up Etrian Odyssey II and noticed screen flickering and graphics glitching a bit.

Any way to fix this? Everything worked fine on my NDS so I'm sure it's not that. I already set NTR_Clock = 1 in the .ini file I've put in the /nds/ folder on root, but the problem still occurs.

Weird. It's working for me on M3 DS Real without issues. Is it the only one to have that glitch or are there any other game with it?

I'm going to try out other games now. Do you have a N3DS XL? I have the CPU Overclocking option enabled on Luma 3DS, maybe this is interfering.
The weird thing is, I downloaded the .cia of NTR Launcher and installed it, but it didn't create neither the /nds/ folder nor the .ini file, I created both by myself.

Yeah, It works on N3DS XL, but for me the app crashes sometimes when using the overclocking and recently when using L2 on Luma settings. I didn't create them neither. Check more ROMs and set off overclocking and L2 on Luma Settings

Tried the other settings (Clock, L2, Clock+L2) from Luma3DS when starting Etrian Odyssey II - the intro sequence flickered on all settings, even on OFF. I only found this graphical glitch in the intro sequence, so hopefully I'm fine for the rest of the game.
Now that I have set Luma3DS off by the way, does it actually make a difference on certain 3DS games? Or not really?

The Luma3DS clock settings don't apply in TWL_FIRM. In "sd:/_nds/ntr_launcher.ini" set NTR_CLOCK to 1 to fix the issue.

I did edit the .ini file, but it didn't fix the issue. I was wondering, is the folder name the .ini file is in "nds" or "_nds"? Maybe that's why it didn't fix the issue for me.

If ntr_launcher.ini isn't in the "nds" folder, then it should just be in "_nds".

Changed the folder name to "_nds", but it still didn't fix it. ): When I installed NTR Launcher, no "nds" or "_nds" folder along with the .ini file was created, I created both on my own afterwards but maybe it doesn't seem to acknowledge it for some reason.

Try the folder from this file.
