v6.7.0: The "discontinued" update
Now that DSiMenu++ has replaced TWLoader, this may only get updated if there's a specific bootstrap setting that either GUI needs to set.
What's new?
- The TWLoader startup splash screen has been extended, with "Homebrew" now showing first.
Bug fix
- If TWLoader says it's up-to-date on startup, it'll no longer wait for A button press.
- Now sets correct console model for recent nds-bootstrap versions.
Known bugs
- TWLoader will crash if quick-start isn't set. Hold both A and Y on the startup screen.
v6.6.4
What's new?
- If you have no cart or a 3DS cart in the card slot, trying to run an SDK5/TWLSDK game will bring up a message saying that the game may not work without a donor cart.
- The troubleshooting message that appears after you launch a game, has been moved to the first-time welcome screen.
v6.6.3
UPDATE 4/16/2018: nds-bootstrap v0.7.4 is now included!
What's new?
- A troubleshooting screen is shown before rebooting into TWL_FIRM.
- Extended banner sound (by joni)!
Improvements
- Box art loading is now done in a separate thread, to cut down on menu slowdown.
- Per-game settings are now saved, only if a setting is changed.
v6.6.2
UPDATE 3/1/2018: nds-bootstrap v0.7.3 now included!
Bug fixes
- Fixed bug where per-game setting for NES games aren't loaded, avoiding a TWLoader crash.

v6.6.1
v6.6.0
UPDATE 2/24/2018: nds-bootstrap v0.7.2 now included!
What's new?
- GitHub has dropped TLSv1/1.1 support as of 22 February 2018.
As a result, the update features have been disabled, so you are currently unable to update TWLoader or nds-bootstrap. - NES support added! NES games are ran via nesDS.
Place the ROMs atsd:/roms/nes
. - Game limit per page has been increased from 20 to 40 (the limit in SRLoader)!
- Animated icons with 8 palette lines are now shown correctly.
- akMenu/Wood theme: You can now press SELECT to enable/disable akMenu/Wood icon scaling effect.
Useful if you don't want to be distracted while looking at the animated icons. - New GBC icon (by @Uupo03).
- R4 theme: You can now press START to go to settings, instead of SELECT.
Bug fixes
- The Add Games menu now caches DSi-Enhanced banners with the correct size.
Re-extracttwloader.nds
from theflashcardsdroot (all)
folder, to the_nds
folder of your flashcard's microSD card.
Also, please delete the banner files atsd:/_nds/twloader/bnricons/flashcard
, then re-add your games to get the fixed banner files. - Fixed flashcard games not launching in R4 and akMenu/Wood themes.
v6.5.0
What's new?
- Animated icons from DSi-Enhanced games (and a DS game translation of mine) now animate like they would on the DSi Menu on DSi, and 3DS HOME Menu on 3DS!
(For assumingly a few games, icon frames that don't use the first palette line will not be shown.) - For some ROM hacks and translations of DSi-Enhanced games, a fixed banner built into TWLoader will be used.
These apply to:
-Fire Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow (English Translation)
-Pokemon Blaze Black
-Pokemon Volt White
If you already have these icons before this TWLoader release, delete the icons atsd:/_nds/twloader/bnricons
. - Welcome screen added for first-time users!
- Only show selected game's box art in 3DS HOME theme.
- Replaced DSi L/R button shoulders in 3DS HOME theme with 3DS button shoulders.
- Fine print added below pseudo-HDR logo.
- Donor ROM options removed for SDK5 games.
