Pre-release

Now that DSiMenu++ has replaced TWLoader, this may only get updated if there's a specific bootstrap setting that either GUI needs to set.

What's new?

  • The TWLoader startup splash screen has been extended, with "Homebrew" now showing first.

Bug fix

  • If TWLoader says it's up-to-date on startup, it'll no longer wait for A button press.
  • Now sets correct console model for recent nds-bootstrap versions.

Known bugs

  • TWLoader will crash if quick-start isn't set. Hold both A and Y on the startup screen.

What's new?

  • If you have no cart or a 3DS cart in the card slot, trying to run an SDK5/TWLSDK game will bring up a message saying that the game may not work without a donor cart.

UPDATE 2/24/2018: nds-bootstrap v0.7.2 now included!

What's new?

  • GitHub has dropped TLSv1/1.1 support as of 22 February 2018.
    As a result, the update features have been disabled, so you are currently unable to update TWLoader or nds-bootstrap.
  • NES support added! NES games are ran via nesDS.
    Place the ROMs at sd:/roms/nes.
  • Game limit per page has been increased from 20 to 40 (the limit in SRLoader)!
  • Animated icons with 8 palette lines are now shown correctly.
  • akMenu/Wood theme: You can now press SELECT to enable/disable akMenu/Wood icon scaling effect.
    Useful if you don't want to be distracted while looking at the animated icons.
  • New GBC icon (by @Uupo03).
  • R4 theme: You can now press START to go to settings, instead of SELECT.

Bug fixes

  • The Add Games menu now caches DSi-Enhanced banners with the correct size.
    Re-extract twloader.nds from the flashcardsdroot (all) folder, to the _nds folder of your flashcard's microSD card.
    Also, please delete the banner files at sd:/_nds/twloader/bnricons/flashcard, then re-add your games to get the fixed banner files.
  • Fixed flashcard games not launching in R4 and akMenu/Wood themes.

What's new?

  • Animated icons from DSi-Enhanced games (and a DS game translation of mine) now animate like they would on the DSi Menu on DSi, and 3DS HOME Menu on 3DS!
    (For assumingly a few games, icon frames that don't use the first palette line will not be shown.)
  • For some ROM hacks and translations of DSi-Enhanced games, a fixed banner built into TWLoader will be used.
    These apply to:
    -Fire Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow (English Translation)
    -Pokemon Blaze Black
    -Pokemon Volt White
    If you already have these icons before this TWLoader release, delete the icons at sd:/_nds/twloader/bnricons.
  • Welcome screen added for first-time users!
  • Only show selected game's box art in 3DS HOME theme.
  • Replaced DSi L/R button shoulders in 3DS HOME theme with 3DS button shoulders.
  • Fine print added below pseudo-HDR logo.
  • Donor ROM options removed for SDK5 games.

Bug fixes

  • akMenu/Wood theme: Long filenames no longer cause some text or icons to not show.
  • akMenu/Wood theme: Fixed game counter in 100s being out of bounds.
  • 3DS theme: Fixed No cartridge text being out of text bubble.
  • Fixed bottom screen cutting to black during DS/DSi boot screen fade out, if appeared before ROM select.

Known bugs

  • DSi-Enhanced games added from flashcard via the Add Games menu, do not have their icons animated.
