AKMenu-Next Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues when using AKMenu-Next, please refer to the below information:

I get a screen telling me no themes are installed.

  • You do not have any valid or compatible themes installed. Try reinstalling the theme or reinstalling AKMenu-Next from the Installing AKMenu-Next page.

I get "Loader not found" when trying to run games

  • You don't have the files for the chosen loader installed, please switch to another loader in the settings, or install the corresponding loader's files. The guides for both compatible loaders (nds-bootstrap and Pico-Loader) are listed on the Installing AKMenu-Next page.

I get a message telling me files are missing or corrupt and to reinstall AKMenu-Next

  • Your installation of AKMenu-Next is corrupted or important configuration files are missing. This can sometimes be caused by a failing SD card as well. Please test your SD card with H2TestW or F3 and reinstall AKMenu-Next from the Installing AKMenu-Next page.

I get a message telling me there is not enough space available when launching a game

  • This occurs when there is not enough space available on the SD card to create a save file, or when the SD card unexpectedly becomes inaccessible. Please ensure you have at least 50MB free on your SD card when running games to account for the game's save file and any additional files created by nds-bootstrap or Pico-Launcher. If you have enough free space and are still seeing this error, there may be a problem with your SD card.

I get "An error occured", "Data abort" or "Failed to load arm9" or similar errors
