Check "Automatically set ROM path", and make the forwarder(s) again. Make sure the ROMs you're loading in the program are from the flashcard's SD.
I've got it. The default location you've made is /Games/rom file. I'm on a Mac so I don't know if it changes anything but when I select the rom to create links to, the forwarder create the link to /Volumes/AceKard/Games/Rom file. Obviously that doesn't exist on a DS. So I've had to change my Rom folder from ROMs to Games and it all works now :D
Thanks for the help!

I so wish we could break these title limits, 40 here for dsiware/ds forwarders and the 300 for 3DS titles. If I could have a forwarder for every single DS title on my homescreen, I would be so happy. It's not so bad picking about 40 of my favorite titles, but I'm a little OCD with trying to make everything look as polished and complete as possible, so it becomes annoying when arbitrary limits get in the way of that.

TWLoader is also made to bypass the limit.

Yes I know and that's nice. But the reality is, using the TWLoader is really not much different than just loading up the flashcard, either way you're leaving the home menu to access another menu that lists all the DS titles you have. Like I said, its about everything being listed on the homescreen/in homescreen folders. But I know, these limits are stuck at what they are unless someone figures out how to change them, but apparently that is a far easier said than done kind of task, and I get it, still just a bummer.

Did install but just getting whitescreen after the dsi intro. Any thoughts?

Cant see it in system as a game, guess I want to delete it but what would be the best way?
If I cant get it to work that is.

What flashcard is it, or what game are you running from the SD Card?

So, a few questions about this.

Does this extract the banner and title from the ROM itself (so it's always the official stuff), or do they get brought from elsewhere when making the forwarders?

Once/if DSi enhancements (not just clock speed) are implemented, will they also work on flashcards?

Going on the above, will it be possible to have them be activated automatically, like, say, if while booting Super Mario 64 DS, we get NTR function only (unless set otherwise) and DS splash screen, and when booting Pokemon Black we get the TWL enhancements and DSi splash screen?

Also, if I buy a SuperCard DSTwo, will I be able to utilize the Real Time Cheats, Save States and such despite not entering the flashcard menu?

First. Also, you can import a custom banner to your forwarder. I made custom animated banners for some NTR games.

Likely not.

We'll see what progress tells us.

The games you mentioned don't work yet.
Here's a compatibility list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M7MxYQzVhb4604esdvo57a7crSvbGzFIdotLW0bm0Co/edit#gid=0

I see, then I need to find htme and delete them.
I guess for the moment a r4 sdhc card only is the best solution if you want an entire lib. of games.
I just bought 2 from nds-card.com. Waiting for them to arrive. :)

Is this an early stage project to get all games(well as many as possible) to work through as a forwarder/sdcard?
