|
#### 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
|
||||||
|
- If the game you’re trying to launch is a DSi Enhanced game, then make sure that TWiLight Menu++ is set to use `DS Mode`
|
||||||
|
- If it worked before, delete the `fatTable` and `patchOffsetCache` folders in `sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Why are there issues with ROM loading, even if 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 would cause the ROMs to not work properly.
|
||||||
|
To improve performance, nds-bootstrap also shrinks the game's heap in memory, which breaks some games, though both the forwarders and TWiLight Menu++ have a heap shrink blacklist to fix the non-working games broken by heap shrink.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 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
|
||||||
|
- You can expand the VRAM memory bus to 32-bit
|
||||||
|
- Utilize the DSi's additional CPU speed
|
||||||
|
- Enhance your audio with 48khz.
|
||||||
|
- Use DSi mode, allowing for DSi features
|
||||||
|
- Using certain cartridges, you are able to use IR in your application
|
||||||
|
- nds-bootstrap is open source meaning devs can always update it to fix bugs and other things even if the company gets discontinued.
|
||||||
|
- the DS Memory Expansion card is emulated meaning games that require that accessory will work
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### 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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### What is a nightly and where do I get it?
|
||||||
|
A nightly build is build for the latest commit. Nightly builds may be unstable, but has the most recent bugfixes added.
|
||||||
|
You can get nightly builds for nds-bootstap [here](https://github.com/TWLBot/Builds/raw/master/nds-bootstrap.7z)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Why do my cheats not work?
|
||||||
|
The way E cheat types are implemented in nds-bootstrap is broken, meaning they'd only work half of the time.
|
||||||
|
Your cheat probably uses that type. It is not a fault of the cheat database, but rather a fault of nds-bootstrap. Please do not request these cheats to get deleted from the DB.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Is there anything else I should know about cheats?
|
||||||
|
You can set heap shrink to `Hi` in settings for slightly better cheat support.<br>
|
||||||
|

#### nds-bootstrap troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
If you get issues with using the latest version of nds-bootstrap, here's how you could troubleshoot it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Run everything in 67mhz, DS Mode with 32 khz of audio. Basically, keep everything to DS settings. Don't try to improve it with DSi stuff
|
||||||
|
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 we had one 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.

This is a placeholder index page for the nds-bootstrap wiki, coming soon™!

nds-bootstrap is an open-source application that allows Nintendo DS/DSi ROMs and homebrew to be natively utilised rather than using an emulator. nds-bootstrap works on Nintendo DSi/3DS SD cards through CFW and on Nintendo DS through flashcarts.

#### Tips For Testing Games
|
||||||
|
- Look for screen flickering or sound issues
|
||||||
|
- If something looks off, run the game along console not using nds-bootstrap to compare
|
||||||
|
- Try as many features in the game as possible
|
||||||
|
- Be thorough
