I'm on the latest version of TWiLight Menu++ (v26.7.0), with me also updating nds-bootstrap to its latest version (v1.3.2) currently and using the DSi version.

The Japanese version of Mother 3 works perfectly, but I can't read it. I got to the point where Lucas is outside the house in the Japanese version.

Meanwhile, in the English translation, everything works up until the part where it says "Home of Alec, Word Word Word Word.". Then it has "KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!" and "KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!". Instead of doing the effect where it shows the character in bed, it just goes to black, and the GBARunner2 menu is accessible for a short while until both screens go black.

On the GBARunner2 compatibility list, it only has information about the Japanese version, so I don't know what to do.

Anyone know?

GBARunner2 seems to have some issues with running certain ROM Hacks, which the translation of Mother 3 would be. It can't run Radical Red 4.0 either, which bums me out.

Try using the hicode build version of Gbar2. With Fire Emblem hacks it works great
I tried that and booted with Mega Man Zero first and it worked, thank you!

Never mind. I've played for a bit now and it keeps freezing at the dino. Now I'm Loading Mother 1+2 and Mega Man Zero, I'm gonna keep trying until something happens.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.

    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
