Launch Method

SD card

Version used

The Twilight Menu++ is on v.26.6.0, and the nds-bootstrap is v1.3.1

Game tested/used/applicable

The game is a clean ROM of Pokemon SoulSilver. I have tried multiple versions of SoulSilver, every other ROM I've tried (Pokemon Black, Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, and New Super Mario Bros.) works.

Expected Behavior

After selecting SoulSilver from the menu, the ROM should have loaded normally and booted up the game.

Actual Behavior

After creating the save file, a red screen appears saying ERROR: DATA ABORT.

Steps to reproduce

1. Place a SoulSilver ROM in the nds folder.
2. Open Twilight Menu.
3. Load the SoulSilver ROM through Twilight Menu.
4. Red screen.

Has it worked prior to nds-bootstrap v1.3.0?

[RocketRobz]

I tried HeartGold, and it boots fine on my side with v1.3.1. How did you install or update TWiLight Menu++ and nds-bootstrap?

[MarkedInStone]

They were both updated with UniversalUpdater- the thing is I do specifically want SoulSilver. I have not used any versions prior to the most recent (1.3.1)

Try using the manual method instead of Universal-Updater then. https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/twilightmenu/installing-3ds?tab=manual

Thank you! It's working. I'll use this thread in case the screen pops up again, if that's okay.

Yeah, it can be helpful for others as well.
