Multiple Games have issues (on DSTT clone carts)

[MegaloDawn]

NDS bootstrap ver.0.65.1 DS Lite NO EXPANSION PAK Flashcard (R4 2021)

Games that have issues

1.Mario & Luigi Bowser's inside story & Mario & Luigi Partners in Time (E) (P.I.T FIXED) 2.Mario Vs Donkey Kong Mini Land Mayhem (E) FIXED 3.Super Mario Galaxy DS (Homebrew) (FIXED 4.Super Mario 256 (U) (FIXED)

2/5 Fixed

I've Used Nightly AND Release none had done anything --- for ALL of them ver.0.65.1:

1.Mario & Luigi Bowser's inside story + Mario & Luigi Partners In Time When booting up it would be stuck on a white screen, I've tried ARM7 it did nothing and rarely it would boot up into a red screen with a few white dots on the top left of the top screen And Partners in time would do the same but when going into NDS bootstrap Then there's a red screen Even though it said it that it was not compatible for both, and people somehow got them to work on their consoles

It should of went to the Nintendo logo and the bros would say 'Nintendo' and go the title screen

to reproduce B.I.S: 1.launch any region of the game then it crashes 2.to get the red screen try again by turning the console off launch the menu then the game multiple times until red screen

to reproduce P.I.T: (FIXED) 1.launch any region of the game then it crashes 2.to get the red screen launch the NDS bootstrap menu which doesn't appear then repeat pressing your button combination to turn off the console

2.Mario Vs Donkey Kong Mini Land Mayhem (FIXED) When booting into the menu it looks fine no crashes but when going into a level and going out and it goes black and when going into NDS bootstraps menu it shows a red screen like partners In Time then switches off the DS every time I did this -- I haven't seen anyone report this game's issue before

to reproduce: 1.launch the game 2.go into a level 3.back out into the menu 4.go back in then red screen

3.Super Mario Galaxy DS (FIXED) This homebrew when I launch it is just a black screen and sometimes go into the menu select but without the stage selection and it freezes link where I got myself this homebrew: https://archive.org/details/smgds

4.Super Mario 256 (FIXED) This rom hack just crashes on a white screen maybe saying 'Loading' then goes into the title screen but instead crashes when selecting a save with it and a long beep and it is a good rom, I used melonds to launch the rom and it works so it is not the rom at fault -- the link is here: https://kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?id=3119

Recently I've tried the update and the new red crash screen gives more detail but this also means the bugs that i've listed are still there but it is a good update

3.Super Mario Galaxy DS This homebrew when I launch it is just a black screen and sometimes go into the menu select but without the stage selection and it freezes

If I recall correctly, this only/mainly happens on DSTT flashcards, like yours. I think a MEP can help with that, for now

4.Super Mario 256 This rom hack just crashes on a white screen maybe saying 'Loading' then goes into the title screen but instead crashes when selecting a save with it and a long beep and it is a good rom, I used melonds to launch the rom and it works so it is not the rom at fault

Select Reset Game to work around the crash.

Oh, yep. That worked. Don't know why I didn't try that .-. Thanks

[MegaloDawn]

Here are videos of me getting crashes -- a lot of compression has been done -- play them in order (Sorry for the low quality and breathing alot)

--found this in a text file with it Other notes unrelated to this test: 8MB MEP (i.e. the official MEP) will not work on B4DS due to the ROM's size exceeding it. I do not have access to any larger ones so a larger MEP was not tested.

[MegaloDawn]

Every issue that I've made was only on the Lite version of the DS With autoboot TWL menu -- if you have the DSi then you have the advantage of getting more games working.

Hello RocketRobz I've tried M&L BIS and the menu doesn't register my buttons and I know it works I've tried PIT (even though it says it's incompatible) and the menu seems to work there Mini land mayhem seems to have more bugs SMG and 256 both still don't work

[MegaloDawn]

Closing due to inactivity

[RocketRobz]

The issue should not be closed if it hasn't been fixed.

European version of partners in time works just fine for me, bowser’s inside story on the other hand still crashes when loading a save.

Well this is a old forum and some have been fixed like P.I.T and Mini land mayhem but B.I.S Had it's AP measure activated so that hasn't been fixed. 256 and smgds still don't work. (This is on a DSTT clone)

87bfd4c has fixed compatibility with Super Mario Galaxy DS. Thanks to Sahil for making me aware of this

[spellboundtriangle]

Super Mario 256 appears to be working as well

Hey I cannot test this as I no longer have the R4 card but I've upgraded to a new 3ds xl but thanks for letting me know so I can cross off that one off the list.

[MegaloDawn]

Super Mario 256 appears to be working as well

also does BIS work?

[RocketRobz]
