aerglass commented 3 years ago

Console Configuration: New Nintendo 2DS XL with Luma3DS

**TWiLight Menu++ Version:*20.4.1*

*TWiLight Menu++ Theme:DSi*

Expected behaviour

be able of run it

be able to run the r4.

Actual behaviour

Steps to reproduce

1.Run twilight menu ++ 2.put you r4itt 3.run it

I was with a r4itt that are rare, it is a New r4itt 3ds, I also have and old r4itt that funtions correctly, the r4 is dead, for some reason ONLY twilight menu was able to register it, but when I run it...

WIN_20210622_12_11_32_Pro

This also hapens with the old r4itt that is good.

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

Please take a picture of both R4iTTs and send it.

tbh none of the r4itts are actually that good

aerglass commented 3 years ago

WIN_20210622_14_34_58_Pro tbh I never had problems with r4itt, this is the first one.

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

They're quite old and generally not well supported that's why.

I have no idea what that left cart is, is it also a R4iTT 3DS NEW?

For the right one, is it working normally? (as in not TWiLight, but maybe Unlaunch or the DSi Menu)

aerglass commented 3 years ago

the one of the left is a old r4itt imagen this one works. the other one doesn't Both cards can't run via twilight menu++

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

If it doesn't work normally, then of course it won't work with TWiLight. That's a given. ("normally" as in, it doesn't work on a DS/DS Lite, or it doesn't launch from the regular Slot-1 launcher on a hacked DSi/3DS)

Back to your one that works normally, the older R4iTT. Please update TWiLight Menu++ to the latest nightly and try it, then report back.

aerglass commented 3 years ago

still the same (tried with both)

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

I kind of just remembered this issue.

Do you have access to GodMode9? I wonder what the header of this cart is, and whether legacy mode might solve the boot issue.

aerglass commented 3 years ago

Yes, i have acess to godmode9

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

Insert cart, load GodMode9, go to GAMECART, and extract the .txt file that is in it. Please do for both carts. Upload them here, or some other place and link it here, please.

aerglass commented 3 years ago

I thinked that the new one was useless, its now in trash (since it didn't work) i will upload the old one

aerglass commented 3 years ago

here is (the old one because the new one broke) STAR_WARS_LA_AWUP41_00.txt

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

First, update TWiLight Menu++ to the latest version, if you haven't already. There was a new release last night. Let me know if that works.

aerglass commented 3 years ago

Still, didn't work

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

slot1launch.zip

Download this, extract it, and replace it with the one inside the _nds/TWiLightMenu/ folder. See if it works again.

aerglass commented 3 years ago

no, didn't work

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

Can you take a clearer picture of the cart you have (both front and back) and send it here? I think I actually have this cart myself, but I want to confirm before testing something else.

aerglass commented 3 years ago

DSC00287 this is how it registeres the home screen DSC00285 DSC00286

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

I definitely own this cart. I'll test on my end and see.

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

After some testing, this issue is only found on the 3DS family consoles. I am able to boot it fine on a DSi through slot1launch. Which is interesting because Unlaunch doesn't like the cart at all.

aerglass commented 3 years ago

Interesting...

dennyferrer commented 3 years ago

i have the same issue in a dsi ver 1.3u with this cart and yes unlaunch dont read the card correctly i have the latest twlmenu and latest unlaunch the cart is working but doesnt boot trought twlmenu IMG_20211002_144515 tested with this carts and same result black screen with 4 color squares

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

@dennyferrer Your original R4 (left most one) not working is most likely a contact issue. I cannot reproduce the four squares on both my DSi nor 3DS. Perhaps blow into the slot and onto the R4 itself to check because that one boots from both TWiLight and Unlaunch for me (all three of mine do.)

The two on the right are both identical carts, and that's what we're trying to figure out here. Though TWiLight seems to launch it on a DSi, so not sure what is happening to you.

dennyferrer commented 3 years ago

ohh tanks the og r4 is working now i only clean the cart slot on the dsi but the r4itt gives me the same issue i think is a problem with the cart itself maybe a different revision of the cart i will try updating the firmware of the cart i hope that solve the problem

lifehackerhansol commented 3 years ago

I've tried updating the firmware on my own two R4iTTs and neither of them are working still, at least on my 3DS.

dennyferrer commented 3 years ago

i tried to update the cart firmware but its already updated so i make some research and i think its a comunication problem between the cart hardware and the ds because the og r4 i covered the contacts with a piece of paper and woala black screen with squares i remove the paper and its working fine tomorrow il test this with other dsi

aerglass commented 3 years ago

i have latest firmware of my r4itt.

RocketRobz commented 2 years ago

iirc, recent versions have fixed this issue.

@lifehackerhansol Can you confirm?

lifehackerhansol commented 2 years ago

iirc, recent versions have fixed this issue.

@lifehackerhansol Can you confirm?

This has not been fixed. Evie and I tried to fix it and nothing came out of it. Still whitescreens.

aerglass commented 1 year ago

it was fixed, idk when but my r4itt works now, my r4itt is like breaking (it sometimes does not work) but whatever

aerglass commented 1 year ago

this broke? i mean i found another r4itt, launched it via twl++ and this problem ocurred again, tried my older r4itt which i normally use and this problem ocurred again

aerglass commented 1 year ago

i may help with this but im the dumbest with the twl++ source code, my mind has expanded since 2021 however i do not want to mess with this code lol

lifehackerhansol commented 1 year ago

I don't either

Ultimately I think the slot1launch module just needs to be rewrote entirely. This cart isn't the only one to fail like this.

But that'll take a while, if it even happens.

aerglass commented 1 year ago

in the latest twl ++ release (25.9.6) apart from the dsi menu change (which i like) now the squares are gone, bottom screen black, top screen white

aerglass commented 1 year ago

I got a new card because the SD Slot broke on my older one, I would have bought something else if there was stock but there wasn't so whatever.

This card, is the old R4iTT for 3DS with the screw on the back (purple and this time, it has the label), It works fine if I launch it via the 3DS menu, The first thing I did after setting up the cart with YSMenu was to run it with Twilight Menu++ and it worked, perfectly? I did remove the Micro SD card and got the white screen with no logo something that never happens. Maybe this is because I didn't upgrade the firmware which I won't do since there are no pros of doing it.

it was fixed, idk when but my r4itt works now, my r4itt is like breaking (it sometimes does not work) but whatever

This was before the SD slot was major issues, afterwards the card started to be really unrealiable since the sd slot randomly stopped working midway normal operation. Now the SD slot doesn't work no matter what, It makes sense now.

I don't know if I should close this issue, I mean the card boots, It works fine. But the errors don't show up. Could this be some kind of problem later on?
