Are you using it through DS flashcart or SD-slot of a DSi? In the first case I don't understand why you use TWLmenu and not the software of your r4, or YSMenu: usually that software is used only for SD-slot.
In the second case (SD-slot) I didn't know that version worked: I knew that only the old version of DSDoom worked....:unsure:

SD-slot of a DSi

Some time ago I tried Kippykip' s version and it didn't work from SD-slot (as reported by other users).
How is it possible that you managed to get it to work? Very strange....:unsure:
Anyway, if you use the older version of DSDoom (the one with only sound effects, no BGM) it will work for sure. :D

I have to retract what I wrote previously.
I bothered to try DSDoom SVN again on my DSi XL (SD-slot, TwilightMenu++) and to my amazement found that it works.
Not only that, I tried one of the most demanding wads, Freedoom1 (placed in the root of the SD) by editing the PrBoom.cfg file and, not only does it work perfectly, but it seems to be able to save without the game crashing.
I've tried saving 8 times in a row, in different points of the game, up to map 3 and it has never crashed.
Incredible discovery !!! :O

@KirgoPlayer007 For you, I suggest to delete the game saves; if it still doesn't work, delete and copy the Prboom.cfg file again. :unsure:

Note: I'm still not sure that, using other megawads, you can always save without the DSi freezes or crashes. It should be tested longer, which for now I do not have time to do. I hope others can test it more thoroughly. :wink:

Final note: Instead I confirm that trying Freedoom1.wad on root of r4 gold pro (with YSMenu) using a DS Lite, DSDoom SVN almost always crashes during saving, and it seems obvious that it depends on the lower RAM memory available compared to the DSi. :sad:

    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it
