Prompt when nds-bootstrap isn't found on the SD card #951

Closed NightScript370 closed 3 years ago

NightScript370 commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If you do not have nds-bootstrap on your (micro)SD card and attempt to launch one of applications requiring it, it locks you out of TWiLight Menu++ with a message that is extremely vague. Which nds-bootstrap is it talking about? It just says release or nightly, without clarifying homebrew or retail.

Describe the solution you'd like It will check if the nds-bootstrap file exists before attempting to launch it. If you do not have it, it will display a prompt message saying that you do not have "Homebrew/Retail" nds-bootstrap ("Nightly/Release") instead of locking you out. It would then tell you to download it and place it at sd:/_nds/. You could then press B to return to select another file

Describe alternatives you've considered

177634ae and 43f1aec6 sort of implement that.

NightScript370 commented 4 years ago

Well, yeah, sort of.

It allows you to return but it isn't really a prompt of sorts. Plus, it still isn't specifying which nds-bootstrap it's trying to launch: Homebrew or Retail.

With the above PR the alternative solution is now achieved. Because B4DS and nds-bootstrap is now merged, there is no need for a B4DS prompt.

Based on what I am reading, and the current state of TWiLight Menu++ and nds-bootstrap, it seems the primary solution is also achieved, but that may need further clarification.

With what @lifehackerhansol said and with #1521 being merged, I think this should be good to close now.
