Sonic Colours white screen on DSTT-based carts

Open MegaloDawn opened this issue 2 years ago • 11 comments

So when I was gonna play sonic colours a white screen came and didn't boot up, the NDS bootstrap button combo and had shutdown the system (and yes I used The E rom and the U rom) I did a little looking in the compatibility and seems the game had AP (Anti piracy) and seems like the Cheat engine had failed and AP patch was blocking the game from booting.

The white screen crash is not an AP issue. Also, the AP-fix is a .ips file and not a cheat file (and thus would require an expansion pak, due to a specific area being patched), so the cheat engine isn't handling it. The game also boots fine on my side, both with and without a memory expansion pak. Sounds like your ROMs are corrupted.

I just tried the flashcart firmware and seems to boot up on that firmware so idk what NDS bootstrap is doing on my side and used different roms

even the 'corrupted roms' seem to work so my roms aren't the issue

Sounds like an issue with the DLDI driver or smth.

Wait are you using a offical r4 card or a fake r4 gold cart/fake DSTT cart

Seems like ver 0.70.0 didn't fix the issue

I normally use an R4 Ultra flashcard. I've tried on my R4i-SDHC 3DS flashcard (a DSTT clone), and was able to reproduce the issue.

@lifehackerhansol could you please test this using your updated DLDI?

When I'm not crippling in midterms, sure.

Though currently that DLDI has other problems...

v0.71.0 + new DLDI as of https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/DLDI/commit/fe99368c3a6730812d63831d2081faaba68f9f7d

also does not work here. There seems to be a flashcart quirk.
