Game Console(s) used

  • Nintendo DS
  • Nintendo DS Lite
  • Nintendo DSi
  • Nintendo DSi XL/LL
  • Nintendo 3DS
  • Nintendo 3DS XL/LL
  • New Nintendo 3DS XL/LL
  • Nintendo 2DS
  • New Nintendo 2DS XL/LL

Launch Method

Launched via the DSpico using Twilight Menu release v27.23.0. This also occurs when booting nds-bootstrap using the latest akmenu-next commit (d643598d)

Version used

Release version 2.15.0

Game tested/used/applicable

I have tested this with 42 All-Time Classics (MD5: 9aad21c4cfa12adc4819c6f6dfb13882) and Big Brain Academy (MD5: 4e15a6187fe1b26acc42deadcacec19d). It appears to happen in every game supported by nds-bootstrap going by what other users have tested.

Expected Behavior

The console should reset and boot into Unlaunch, or the DSpico would reset to the path set in QUIT_PATH.

Actual Behavior

Neither outcome mentioned above occur. After exiting the game, the console will reset and freeze on a black screen.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Unlaunch
  2. Launch a game using nds-bootstrap on the DSpico
  3. Press and hold L+R+DOWN+B (or exit the game through the in-game menu)
  4. The console should reboot to a black screen

Logs

NDSBTSRP.LOG

The log was written to the DSi's SD card and appears to be empty.

Other notes

nds-bootstrap 2.13 and prior releases will reboot to boot.nds on the DSi SD card. In later nds-bootstrap versions, specifying a QUIT_PATH that is not a location on the DSi SD card will result in a black screen if Unlaunch is installed. When Unlaunch is not installed, the console will reset to the DSi launcher.
