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?

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.

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.

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! :D (I mean, I'm ussing the original kernel from r4ids.cn and it works :P)

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?

whoa so pokemon bW1 and 2 works on 3ds sd now?
Like the FAQ says, nope. It isn't the future yet.
OP said:

A: Nope, but maybe in the future, since we can run commercial/retail ROMs from the 3DS SD Card.

    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
