General oddities in/concerning the L+DOWN+SELECT menu.

Open foxsouns opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

Your console: O2DS Launch Method: fastboot3DS/Luma v10.2.1 3GX Loader Edition; TwilightMenu++ Nightly v20.0.1-30cb40c Version used: Nightly 2f857abe Game tested/used/applicable: Yoshi's Island DS: SHA256 is 686453346777CB3DC4DB49B0348425DCA1F8CD61BB9762EC7990879B4E413B34; affects other games as well: tested New Super Mario Bros.

Expected Behavior: Black screen on bottom with text in front on L+D+SELECT menu. Actual Behavior: Flashing colors on bottom screen with background elements flashing as well on top screen.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use the version of nds-bootstrap I have.
  2. Activate the L+DOWN+SELECT menu while in a game.

Logs

Other notes

  • It seems to only affect gameplay, and not typically menus. Works on title in NSMB and in-level on YIDS.
  • I don't have a way to get my SD card to my computer at the moment, I copied that SHA256 by eye and hand, but I hope I was descriptive enough to help in finding out why this happens. Tomorrow I'll be able to get logs and the nds-bootstrap.ini, if it's needed.

Update: It looks like the results vary: I tried doing this yesterday and instead got the sprites on the bottom screen in YIDS to go black until a reset.

The sprites going black should be fixed by the latest nightly

As for the flashing colors not really sure what's up with that... Maybe the game is still hooking like the hblank IRQ and editing the palette or something?

I'm not sure: it happened once and I haven't gotten it again yet. Gonna try again and see if Sleep Mode/going to the Home menu confirm screen was what started it the first time.

On a DSi (L+Down+SELECT) menu works for me in a few games but in Ghost Trick bottom screen is blank (B to cancel works). It works in Ghost Trick just after game boot, before the game starts up properly and also on the language select screen (but not the chapter select screen before language select).

Seen with v0.40.2 (and a couple of older versions).

No idea if this is worth a new ticket or extra info for this one.

Update 2021-09-12 problem gone away, with https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/releases/tag/v0.46.3 provided by https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases/tag/v21.5.0 see comment below for change number.

The menu sometimes being blank should be fixed by 23c04dcaffb87ef90d1d0c783cd0dd62c9e8ae2a.

The random lines of color bug is still happening, can get screenshots of it now though so here's a couple: screenshot screenshot

(these lines are also behind the menu text)

Epic's response is what I was experiencing, however my 2DS died recently. Hopefully this gets/is fixed by the time I come back to the scene.

Belated thanks to @Epicpkmn11 for identifying the fix for the Ghost Trick problem I was seeing. I just tried latest version
