R4 Gold+ RTS autoboot won't work and won't boot NDS games without nds-bootstrap #1025
Comments
Also seeing issues with this card, i can't get anything to boot =/ |
I just seen a blank black screen when booting with this card |
@RocketRobz |
Half of the issue is fixed in the latest commits |
I'm really happy to see some progress on this. Unfortunately I followed the instructions and found following issues: Step4 for flashcard instructions: Autoboot still doesn't autoboot. After nds-bootstrap is disabled instead of booting into the game, seems like _wfwd is launched, but instead of the game, a broken akmenu with no background image and no text anywhere. I used the v15.2.0 release with current instructions, using Original R4 folder with the flashcart in the 1st post. After launching default.nds manually to launch twilightmenu and selecting a game - top screen goes white and bottom screen shows bottom akmenu, but with grey highlighting and black background. |
@olokos I know this is quite a bit late but have you tried the new R4i Gold 3DS family autobooter in the latest release? |
@unresolvedsymbol sure thing, it's just I'm a litte bit exhausted right now, I'll bookmark this issue. |
@olokos lol, well our cards are identical so just use the |
I am unable to autoboot my R4i Gold RTS (looks very similar to the above, but the RTS text is green like the one referenced in #1143) I am able to autoboot by making WoodR4 autoload the last ROM and booting BOOT.NDS with it, but the included _DS_MENU.DAT for autobooting results in only a black screen. (Btw, other R4i Gold RTS users, if you disable B4DS and copy the "reset" and "rts" settings from your _rpg/globalsettings.ini over to the _wfwd/globalsettings.ini, you can have the R4i RTS work in game as long as you're not loading a ROM from the console's SD card which forces the use of nds-bootstrap) |
I tried installing the 16.1.0 version, but the folders are pretty confusing, but from what I have gathered, I need to download this ends up in white screen on boot and complete freeze, so I guess Autoboot is out of the question Restoring _DS_MENU.DAT from 2nd attempt to use TWMenu was: No autoboot, as expected BUT twilight menu does run roms with nds-bootstrap and no freezing in sight! Not only that, but nds-bootstrap - no also works following my 2nd procedure, albeit it doesn't detect saves previously made. |
@olokos Stock wood is unnecessary because the flashcart loader folder already contains it, also the Anyway the flashcart loader is primarily for using wood for booting games without nds-bootstrap (you mention it doesn't work but it works fine for me so I'm unsure), but glad you got it working otherwise. |
A whole year late, but we're almost close to figuring this out. (Sorry it took too long). Feel free to take a look at the build artifact and test. |
R4 SDHC GOLD Pro can't boot. Tried both R4.dat options in autoboot folder. I haven't tried it. The only problem is that if you don't use the button hold shortcut to reset, it's just going to reboot back into the game instead of the menu. A better option might be to try hex editing YSMenu's R4.dat to boot into a different menu folder: rather than TTMenu, try changing to TTBoot then configure the ini file in TTBoot to auto start TwilightMenu. Or, a simpler solution, if you don't want to use YS as the rom loader: just make ys auto load twilight. I'm confident this would work for anyone interested in getting Twilight going with YS. As for me, I'm sticking with the YS menu: nds-bootstrap fails on too many roms. |
This issue is for a different flashcart. Please file a new one. |
The bug is 100% fixed and everything works perfectly now! Great work, thank You guys, also I'm not sure if it's placebo, but Twilight menu seems to scroll much faster and snappier than before, which is amazing! :) I've noticed 2 different bugs though:
|
Your console configuration: DS Lite with this flashcart
TWiLight Menu++ Version: 15
TWiLight Menu++ Theme: R4
Expected behaviour
Moving autoboot should make twilightmenu to autoboot
Setting nds-bootloader to no should load nds games using wood kernel 1.64
Actual behaviour
DS Lite only autoboots to Woodkernel, but not to twilightmenu
Instead of booting the nds games with wood kernel firmware it says Error:1 and game doesn't start
Steps to reproduce
TWiLightMenu.7z\Flashcard users\Autoboot\akMenu-Wood UI root\__rpg\
toroot of microsd/_rpg
I will provide whatever is neccesary to fix this.
The flashcart in the picture is the latest R4 flashcart released and everybody is recommending to buy it in 2019/2020 for DS Lite and the DS family in general, so I think it's pretty important.
