Homebrew [Discontinued] TWLoader - CTR-mode NDS app

[RocketRobz]

Do I need to install anything besides the two cias?(and moving the contents of the sdroot folder to the sd card)

No, that's all.

 

[TheMagicMan]

No, that's all.

Ok. I just re-installed Twloader and TWloader side. Is there anything else I should do before opening a rom?

Just make sure Lock ARM9 SCFG_EXT is off.

That's all I did and I got it to work.

Looks right.
Sorry, I'm out of ideas.

Do you think it has to do anything with the n3ds itself?

I am pretty sure you need to have the physical Mario Kart DS cartridge inserted for saving.

Lol I would try to save, but the rom dosen't even open.

 

[RocketRobz]

Nah, don't think so.

Saving already works for Mario Kart DS, even with no cartridge.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

nds_bootstrap is the actual thing that opens up the rom right? Is there anyway to load this and try opening a rom?

Also could it be a problem with Luma?

Yes.

nds-bootstrap only loads the rom specified in the .ini file.
Oh also, try setting console output to "On (with Debug)" in TWLoader.

Nope.

 

[TheMagicMan]

After loading Rom with console debug:
TWL_VRAM ON
Press start...
After start quickly test appears then goes away. Im assuming this is opening the rom?
After this the white screen just continues :/

The real problem is that bootstrap isn't loading for some reason. Try re-installing TWLNAND side from the QR code.
If you did, again, I'm out of ideas.

Do games need to be a specificname? I can't get any rom to appear now.

Are the roms in "sdmc:/roms/nds/"? If so, check the settings screen for the rom path.

Nevermind that. I am using a ftp program to move files. Looks like when I renamed then the file type changed.
