Animal Crossing Wild World DS to DS connection crashing

tempaccountforacww commented 1 year ago

Can't reopen this issue, that's why I'm opening a duplicate issue, sorry I'm new here https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/issues/985

Your console: 2x Nintendo DSi XL

Launch Method: TWiLight Menu++ v13.1.0 Because this comment https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/issues/985#issuecomment-665012335 meant that the version was stable. So I found this version of nds-bootstrap here.

TWiLight Menu++ v25.3.0 Because https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/issues/985#issuecomment-1241014210 said, that version 0.64 would work. so I searched for the 0.64 Version and found it here, where it was told that it is in the v25.3.0 of the twi menu

TWiLight Menu++ v25.11.0 of corse the newest version, because I thought it would ne fixed meanwhile

Switching between the above mentions TWiLight Menu++ versions (means copying BOOT.NDS + nds to the root if the SD-Cards)
using a different (used, not new) freshly formatted micro SD-Card
- all together I used the following:
- 4GB Platinum (Secure Digital Card)
- 8GB microSDHC Class 6 + SanDisk microSD/HC/XC Adapter
- 8GB SanDisk microSDHC Class 4 + hama microSD/HC/XC Adapter

Version used: standard

Game tested/used/applicable: Animal Crossing - Wild World (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).nds MD5: 9d0dda4ca7227c31bb31002342b8530e SHA1: 858da57a18852e75304e423519dde6a548d5264b

Save file: Animal Crossing - Wild World (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).sav.zip

Expected Behavior: It was expected to not disconnect from the local connection.

Actual Behavior: exactly the same as here https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/issues/985#issue-664646685

Steps to reproduce

exactly the same as here https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/issues/985#issue-664646685

I'd like to add, that sometimes it takes a few seconds until the connection crash, sometimes 1 - 2 Minutes. I think it matters, how much both players are doing simultaneously, but that's just a guess

nds-bootstrap.ini

[NDS-BOOTSTRAP]
USE_ROM_REGION = 1

Logs

There is no "LOGGING" text in the nds-bootstrap.ini file

Other notes

What I've tried so far

Changing CPU speed to 67mhz
Deactivating Card-Read-DMA (because https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/issues/985#issuecomment-885993773 said it could fix it)

What I have found so far

With TWiLight Menu++ v25.3.0 we could play the "longest" (~5 minutes). but mostly, if both players were afk.
as soon as both players starts playing actively and/or one of the both players is moving its position (in real life, in the room) ... the problems start, which somehow briefly made me think of a loose connection with the SD card or the wireless connection module
I've noticed that mario kart ds for example is crashing almost everytime before a race can start (1x TWiLight Menu++ game + 1x Unlauncher --> DS Download). on the other hand mario party ds works everytime 100% guaranteed- idk why (1x TWiLight Menu++ game + 1x Unlauncher --> DS Download).

Will you be available for future issues and/or replies?

Yes

Is it fixed in nds-bootstrap v1.0.0?

I’m having the same problem with nds-bootstrap v1.0.0

connecting tw dsi to a ds lite with a legit gamecard.

didn’t work on earlier versions either.

The issue persists, I am able to get into a game sometimes, but it will crash.

RocketRobz commented 2 months ago

Since the release of v1.6.0, has this issue been fixed?

kEnder242 commented 2 months ago

Sadly no. ACWW crashed with v1.6.2. Tried DSi->DS and DS->DSi hosting connections.

Per my previous notes, I think the last time I was able to connect was April 2020. Looking for the word 'wifi' during that time shows this change, no idea if it is related. https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/commit/48b785dd73c8a256f5d776c1f8420b6a4d055b74

Are you sure? Please open the in-game menu (by pressing L+Down+Select) after launching the game, and see if the correct version is displayed on the bottom screen.

It is not related.

Have you tried turning off the Card Read DMA setting in the per-game settings menu (opened in TWLMenu++ by pressing Y button)?

kEnder242 commented 2 months ago

I noticed DMA was enabled on one but off on the other. Immediate crash with both enabled via the Y menu. Turning it off allowed me to join and play for a few seconds.

Just commenting to say that my partner and I are both having the same issue; we're both on v1.6.2, playing on new 3ds xl. Have not tried without Card Read DMA yet, but we're gonna give that a go and report back.

Please update nds-bootstrap before testing.
