|
||||
|
||||
#### Why do I get a white screen when trying to load a game from SD card?
|
||||
- First, check the [the nds-bootstrap compatibility list](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LRTkXOUXraTMjg1eedz_f7b5jiuyMv2x6e_jY_nyHSc/htmlview#gid=0) and make sure your game is compatible
|
||||
- Try with all cheats disabled for that game as some cheats are not compatible with nds-bootstrap at the moment, you can use <kbd class="l">L</kbd> to disable all cheats for a game
|
||||
- Try with all cheats disabled for that game as some cheats are not compatible with nds-bootstrap at the moment, you can use <kbd class="l">L</kbd> in the TWiLight Menu++ cheats menu to disable all cheats for a game
|
||||
- If it worked before, delete the `fatTable` and `patchOffsetCache` folders in `sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/`
|
||||
- Run the game with different settings, including changing the ARM9 CPU Speed, Async card read, DS/DSi Mode, sound quality, Card read DMA, etc
|
||||
- It's probably not that big of an issue; ask in the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/yD3spjv)
|
||||
If the server says it's an nds-bootstrap issue, check if the game hasn't been reported already on [GitHub](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/issues). Check the closed issues too in case there has already been an issue closed in preference a different one. If it doesn't have any GitHub issue attached to it, go ahead and make a new one
|
||||
|
||||
#### nds-bootstrap troubleshooting
|
||||
If you get issues with using the latest version of nds-bootstrap, here's how you can troubleshoot it.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run the game with different settings, including changing the ARM9 CPU Speed, DS/DSi Mode, sound quality, Card Read DMA, etc
|
||||
2. Delete the `fatTable` and `patchOffsetCache` folders in `sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/`
|
||||
3. It's probably not that big of an issue; ask in the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/yD3spjv)
|
||||
|
||||
If the server says it's an nds-bootstrap issue, check if the game hasn't been reported already on GitHub. Check the closed issues too in case there has already been an issue closed in preference a different one. If it doesn't have any GitHub issue attached to it, go ahead and make a new one.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, make sure you add it to the [compatibility list](https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/nds-bootstrap/testing) on Google Sheets.
|
||||
If no solution has been found at this point, make sure you add it to the [compatibility list](https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/nds-bootstrap/testing) on Google Sheets.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why are there issues with ROM loading, even though they're run natively?
|
||||
nds-bootstrap patches the ROM functions to run from an SD card, as the ROMs are hardcoded to read from Slot-1.
|
||||
There are also timing issues and AP measures (which most are already removed), both of which will cause the ROMs to not work properly.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why use nds-bootstrap over a regular flashcard?
|
||||
- Certain compatible ROMs are loaded into RAM, allowing for load times to be faster than even normal cartridges
|
||||
- Certain compatible ROMs are loaded into RAM, allowing for load times to be faster than even normal Game Cards
|
||||
- You can expand the VRAM memory bus to 32-bit
|
||||
- Utilize the DSi's additional CPU speed, allowing for better performance in some games
|
||||
- Enhance your audio with 48 kHz
|
||||
- Use DSi mode, allowing for DSi features
|
||||
- Using certain cartridges, you are able to use IR in your application
|
||||
- Using certain Game Cards, you are able to use IR in your application
|
||||
- nds-bootstrap is open source, meaning developers can always update it to fix bugs and other things, even if the project gets discontinued
|
||||
- The DS Memory Expansion Pak is emulated, meaning games that require that accessory will work
|
||||
- Swap top and bottom screens in compatible games for more comfortable gameplay, or on systems with a broken or removed screen
|
||||
- Take screenshots and edit values in the RAM using the in-game menu
|
||||
|
||||
#### Donor ROMs
|
||||
Most SDK5 games can be selected as a Donor ROM (which can be done via TWiLight Menu++). The Donor ROM's ARM7 binary is copied by nds-bootstrap and replaces the ARM7 binary for the game that it is trying to run. This allows certain and SDK5 games to boot and save.
