Launch Method
Launched via SD card on a DSi XL with Ver. 1.4.5E.
Version used
I use release with nds-bootstrap v2.7.2 included in Twilight Menu ++ v27.16.0.
Game tested/used/applicable
2 "Art Academy" Dsiware games (Europe): Art Academy 1st Semester and 2nd Semester
Expected Behavior
The games should not crash when starting a lesson or in free mode.
Actual Behavior
After accessing main screen game title, a crash occurs systematically when you try to start a lesson or you try to play in free mode. So nothing can be done, and the games are not playable. We always have the same "Data abort" screen happening (red one) and it is systematic.
Steps to reproduce
Launch one of Art Academy Game in DSi mode and select a lesson, or try to play in free draw mode. You will get systematically a crash with "Data abort" screen.

Other notes
I am seeing this "Data abort" issue when loading data only with both Art Academy DSiWare games and it is systematic.
Will you be available for future issues and/or replies?
Yes
You are right, after installation of Unlaunch, the issue is no more seen ! This bug can be rejected. Thanks for your help.
