I don't have this issue with HeartGold. Are there any cheats enabled?
I wasn't using any cheats. I also tried running in DS and DSi mode, and both had the same issue.
I am using a Japanese 3ds, if that makes any difference. I also tested HeartGold, and it has the same issue.
I have no clue as to why this happens.
Try re-installing TWiLight Menu++ by deleting the TWiLightMenu
folder in sd:/_nds/
, and install it again.
If the issue persists, then your save data may be corrupt somehow.
I just tried it with my DS Lite and an R4-SDHC card.
When using the card's firmware, it loads the save just fine. When using nds-bootstrap, I get a black screen.
Starting up a new game works, but I get a black screen as soon as I try to access the PC in the character's room. That doesn't happen when using the card's firmware.
@RocketRobz I think it might be something with nds-bootstrap, unless we both have problematic saves. It's happening in both a 3DS with CFW and a DS Lite with a flashcart.
@theRealSlimHenry is it still a problem for you?
Sorry, I just checked this thread again. Yes, I'm still having the same issue. Since my last update I've tried applying an AP patch as a cheat within Twilight Menu. but that did not work either. I've also tried disabling card read DMA, running in DS and DSi mode, changing the clock speed, and running the game with the DS VRAM option. No combination of settings has fixed the issue for me.
AP cheats should not be enabled. Are you able to try the save file in an emulator?
I can try that, is there any particular emulator that would be the best for testing? I've tested with and without AP cheats, but neither fixed the issue.
melonDS should work best.
I just copied both the rom and the save from my 3DS to my PC. The game started in melonDS and loaded the save without any issues.
Hmm, in that case, try inserting a DS game (not a DSi/TWL card or any flashcard) into Slot-1, see if it fixes the black screen crash. If it does fix it, then the AP-patch isn't fully working.
I'm sorry, I don't have any DS cartridges on-hand. I owned a copy of SoulSilver, but I've lost it.
Will any DS game work, or does it need to be SoulSilver?
Any cartridge with IR should work.
Does that include reproduction carts, or only authentic ones? I can try to pick up something to test with.
As long as the cartridge has IR, any DS/NTR cartridge (repros or not, ig) should work.
I tested with an IR cartridge, it did not fix the issue.
I just discovered that Pokemon Platinum has the same issue.

Logs
I put the same rom on a flashcart and tried it on a DS Lite, and it ran without issues. The game had the black screen issue when I attempted to play it on my 3ds with the same flashcart. Finally, I've also tried manually AP-patching the rom, but that did not work.
