You can't. I have to do it on my side, which I probably won't plan on doing.

I'm confused. Which forwarder pack am I supposed to use for the R4i Gold 3DS RTS thats from r4ids.cn? I tried using the second link that's also for the AKRPG, and the forwarders work and everything (although there's the game lag that you can't fix (right?)) but when I try to launch the actual card from the menu, I'm met with a black screen.

Are the contents of the forwarder pack meant to replace the Wood kernel required for the card to work? Or are you supposed to just have them both on the root of the SD that goes into the card?

Yes.

 

[7Robins]

Yes.

So I use the second forwarder pack that is also used for the AKRPG, correct? How do I get the card to work in normal mode without using the forwarders? And there's no way to fix the lag?

I don't think you can.

And there's no way to fix the lag?

If you're getting lags, you might need to format your flashcard's microSD card.

DSi enhanced titles still not working with Acekard 2i?

Pokemon BW/BW2 work if I actually launch them from the flashcart menu, but still whitescreen through the forwarders.

That's because the forwarders use an old version of YSMenu for loading the ROMs.

Figured as much. Having the icons on the home menu is good enough for me. Thanks for all your hard work on this, by the way!

Edit: nevermind.

Does the loading nds files from SD using this method have the same limited compatibility of, say, TWLoader? Or can it load more games?

Because it uses nds-bootstrap, the compatibility is the same.

I see you deleted the github page linked in the OP and presumably the earlier releases along with it.
Are there any plans to provide older builds for people who use a DSTwo? It's been broken for some time.

 

[RocketRobz]

The SD Card forwarder template is updated and working again!
New feature: When you launch a forwarder, when the white screens appear, hold Y before the ROM starts to set it as an ARM7 donor ROM!

The pack has also been updated to include nds-bootstrap v0.4.1, the latest version.

Tried with an R4i RTS Gold without ussing your .zip folder for the flashcard. Only using forwarder and it works! (I mean, I'm ussing the original kernel from r4ids.cn and it works )

BTW @Robz8 why this answer in FAQ on OP?
Q: Will this load DSi enhanced games in DSi mode, including DSi exclusive games?
A: Nope, but maybe someday, when we're able to run commercial/retail ROMs from the 3DS SD Card.


Edit2: In order to make BW1 and 2 work, I've copied to SD _wfwd folder and file, but not other file. I mean, no __rpg folder and no _ds_menu.dat (PS: I've compared your rpg and "default" rpg folder and both are the same, but menu.dat file are different. Why?

3DS SD Card, literally.

whoa so pokemon bW1 and 2 works on 3ds sd now?

Like the FAQ says, nope. It isn't the future yet.

Q: Will this load DSi enhanced games in DSi mode, including DSi exclusive games?
A: Nope, but maybe in the future, since we can run commercial/retail ROMs from the 3DS SD Card.
