Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[WiiUBricker]

I don't understand the "Games are on SD card" option. Which SD card does this refer to? The flashcart's SD card or the 3DS'es internal SD card?

Edit: Also regarding step 11: Copy the CIA to your 3DS SD Card, and the .DAT to the specified location of the flashcard microSD.

I don't get a .DAT. I get a .CIA and an .NDS. The instructions should be updated.

Whatever card media is selected.

Updated.

Aren't games always in an SD card? What use does this option have then?

Updated.

You destroyed the image of Forwarder3-DS while you were at it.
Edit: Image working now. Seems to be a google docs server issue. I recommend attaching the image directly in this thread.

It sets the path of your ROMs in the card without setting them manually. If the option is unchecked, the path will end up being "Games/ROM.nds".

Just as a note.
@Apache Thuder redid the DSi bootscreen as the original one

Have you downloaded the pack just today?

Yup, just tried to install it a few minutes ago.

Do you have TTfwd.dat in the flashcard's root?

Well now it's just showing a white screen. I know the SD and the flashcart are good, ApacheThunder's files allow it to boot normally.

Aaaaaand it's working! Just needed to reformat my SD.

Is there a way for me to boot into the DSTT normally? Forwarders work, but when I launch the Stage2 launcher, it just boots me back into my last played game. I'd like the Stage2 launcher to load YSMenu.

Hold B when YSMenu starts.

Worked like a charm! Thank you!

Are the DStwo templates updated with latest Dsi bootscreen?

 

[RocketRobz]

Are the DStwo templates updated with latest Dsi bootscreen?

Not yet, but I'm working on it.

 

[RocketRobz]

Are the DStwo templates updated with latest Dsi bootscreen?

And... the templates and packs are updated!
The following have their templates and packs updated.

• 3DS SD Card
  
• DSTT/R4i Gold/R4i-SDHC/R4 SDHC Dual-Core/R4 SDHC Upgrade/SC DSONE
  
• Acekard 2(i)/R4iTT
  
• SuperCard DSTWO

What's new?

• The redone DSi boot animation is now used.
• You can now enable/disable the Health and Safety message at the bottom screen. It's "HEALTHSAFETYMSG" in the "ntr_forwarder.ini" file for the 3DS SD Card (the only file changed in the packs).

Thanks a lot!!

How can I get Forwarder3DS to work on Mac? It just creates .nds files (I suppose make_cia) is not working.

 

[jellevs]

my forwarder doesnt work, It gives a dsi bootscreen and stay on a white screen. nothing reacts. only power button and home button do something.
I have a r4i sdhc rts running luma3ds a9lh sysnand.

how do I fix this?

Update:
I forgot to put the things on the sd card, now if I run the forwarder. it does exactly the same. except when you pull the r4 cartride out. it gives an error sign on a micro sd icon. it didnt do that before.

and if I run ysmenu.nds on the r4 menu. I can select games. and the games give an error: "UNKNOWN_DLDI_TYPE". I think my r4 doesnt run on the dldi ysmenu is using.

Make sure you have TTfwd.dat from the pack in the flashcard's root. Not having the file will cause the "Menu?" screen to appear.

From the FAQs:
Execute chmod +x make_cia in the terminal on the .jar file's directory, so that make_cia gets the needed rights to be executed.

Looks like the "HEALTHSAFETYMSG" thing doesn't work properly on DSi bootsplash, it is always hidden, no matter if is setted as 0 or 1.

What about the normal DS bootsplash?
