Trying a new ROM - looks like I lost my save file in the cut over so I may take a while to get back to the room

I'm having this exact same issue on HGSS. Platinum, Black and White seem to be working fine without any AP Patches. Meanwhile, Heartgold has the random crashes when going in and out of buildings. Tried multiple clean roms and manually patching.
I'm using an r4isdhc 2019.
You may need to set the game loader to kernel instead of nds-bootstrap in order for the game to work properly.
Permanent autobooting game bug:
there's a bug when dualbooting, at least ysmenu as primary and twlight, on first setup, if user boots twlightmenu.nds instead of ysmenu.nds and launches a game from it, that first game will get permanently stuck on autorun each time the console boots. i think it creates a TTmenu.sys, on first launch of nds files. i am not sure if this is the exact cause. i tried every suggested solution posted here. from deleting twlight settings.ini, setting autogamerun to 0(already set to 0). reformat sd card and fresh install created the same problem.

Your only solution is to blank out the autoboot path in YSMenu.ini, and then:
- Install the autoboot files for your flashcard, or
- Do not use Kernel as the game loader for TWLMenu++, and set nds-bootstrap as the loader.
What do you mean blank out the autoboot path? Would you please explain a bit more. I recently turned off my desktop and i am already in bed, else would have checked the file myself.
I think changing to kernel in TWLMEMU++ is the main issue, messing with the option will break the kernel option. At first i could launch games with eithet kernel or bootstrap, but then each time i chose kernel i get the error "flashcard may be unsupported"
I will test more and see.
A setting called "AUTO_BOOT" is what contains the path of the last booted .nds file. Since TWLMenu++ writes to that setting so YSMenu can immediately boot the ROM, launching the flashcard that is set to autoboot YSMenu will then start the last booted game.
I found something strange the latest twilight menu works fine from my sd card on my N3DSXL and my N2DSXL golden sun dark dawn works perfect but i have three r4i gold flashcards with twilight menu installed all games work fine on them except golden sun dark dawn is golden sun not yet playable on flashcards? This is the cards im using but mine are the 2020 version. I have tried them on a N3DSXL a N2DSXL and a DS lite.
Golden Sun is currently not playable within nds-bootstrap on flashcards, so you'll need to switch Game Loader to Kernel for that game.
Would this affect any functionality?
As far as I understand, this option is necessary only if the user decided to use TWLMenu++ with the kernel aa boot option because it boots the game through the card launcher(ysmenu in my case).
Another question: would TWLMenu++ still get updates? I am wondering if better compatibility is possible in the future, overall it's an awesome all in one package, the only reason i wanted ysmenu, is because of better ds games compatibility.
What do you mean?
YSMenu or Wood is as best as it will likely get, in terms of compatibility.
I meant, would i lose any functions, like "Reset hotkey" if i blank out the autoboot in YSMenu.ini
I also wanted to express my thanks amd gratitude for the immense support you're providing to the community
, you're doing god's work being very patient and responsive to all comments here, and it's all from your free time.
these are the autoboot from TWLMENU++ downloaded file for my card. would these work for ysmenu?
My autboot path in YSMENU.ini are already empty too.
Edit; they would boot me into TWLMENU++
My autboot path in YSMENU.ini are already empty too.

Yes, put these files on the flashcard's SD root (if you haven't done so yet).
If launching the flashcard no longer starts your last-launched game, then your issue is fixed.
I do, but it will autoboot to TWLMENU++, i want it to autoboot to ysmenu instead. That's not possible with the autoboot files i assume?
v26.3.0
Ah, now I remember (that is, iirc) that you installed TWLMenu++ so that you can play DSiWare games.
If you prefer to use YSMenu as primary kernel, but still want to play DSiWare games, then the next version of NDSForwarder-DSi (which is now released) will support creating nds-bootstrap forwarders on flashcards, in order to launch DSiWare games using YSMenu (or other flashcard kernel) instead of TWLMenu++.

-so this allows games to use ndsbootstrap, does that mean the ndsbootstrap is integrated in this or do i have to install it manually?
-So i put my dsi games on a separate folder, then using the forwarder app, i navigate to their location and install them, then they should appear in folder named "Forwarders". And from there i should be able to launch them from ysmenu?
-And what about the AP patches, do i have to install games that require AP using the forwarder too?

- If you install the forwarder pack (which is required), then nds-bootstrap will be installed.
- Correct.
- If you plan on using nds-bootstrap to run those AP-protected games, yeah.

Jayro:
Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

SylverReZ:
@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

cearp:
@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
