Other notes

Some games do play.

I would appreciate any help, i could have miscongfigured something, Animal Crossing did work when using the wood kernel, but i prefer nds-bootstrap and Twighlight.

Thanks

These games aren't compatible with B4DS on your flashcards.
The Zelda games boot using either an R4 Ultra or an R4i Gold RTS.

Thanks @RocketRobz, any idea where i can get one of those cards, ebay has a lot of confusing names?

Go to www.nds-card.com to buy an R4i Gold card with the r4ids.cn address.

Hi @RocketRobz i recieved the card today, but i can't get Twilightmenu to boot with the card? A black screen just appears, any idea what is wrong? thanks

Re-install the flashcard kernel, and boot TWLMenu++ with that.

Where is the kernel located sorry? I tried a fresh install from the latest release but it just boots to a black screen

Unfortunately, I don't know where the correct kernel for that flashcard is.

@RocketRobz Is the kernel not included under Autoload > flashcards?

Something tells me it's the wrong one, if it black screens.
Try this one.

Capture
@RocketRobz I extracted this to the root of the SD card and now i get a quick white flash, then a black screen, am i putting it in the correct place? sorry for all the questions

Yes, the root is the correct place.
Try deleting the _rpg folder on the SD card, then re-extract.
