Do you mean OS on PC, or CFW?
OS (PC): Windows 10 x64-86
CFW: Luma 8.1.1 (11.5.0-U)
Flashcard: R4i SDCH Dual-Core 2015 (32GB) - The one you refer to as R4i-SDHC RTS
I used Godmode9 as your tutorial specifies... there is where I can find anything in [root]/CARTRIDGE.
Oh, GodMode9.
Do you have a DS retail Slot-1 card inserted?

thats like the icon that opens the r4 menu/cart. no other games are shown. help :(
Uh, why did you rip a "rom" of the flashcard firmware in the first place? Lol

You don't need to do anything in Godmode my friend.

1. Download the program
2. Download/Dump some ROMS
3. Put the ROMS on the SD card you want to put inside the Flashcard
4. Put that SD card in your PC
5. Open the program
6. Select your flashcard from the list
7. Choose your options (keep .NDS file or not, ROM is on SD *checked*)
8. Drag your ROMS to the program FROM the open SD directory.
9. Hit Start
10. The program will create forwarder.CIAs with the same name as your ROMS (Make sure the ROMs names are not longer than 25 characters.
11. Take the CIAs and place them on the 3DS SD card inside your console.
12. Leave the ROMS on your Flashcards SD card and reinsert it.
13. Power on your console and go to FBI
14. INstall your forwarder.CIAs
15. Launch from the HomeMenu with your flashcard inserted and enjoy.

thank you so much! i managed to get it working.

One more question though. i dragged all roms, but when i click the bottom right button it only makes a cia for one game. Is there a way to create the list at once?
It should have made CIAs for all of your dragged ROMs.
Weird that it was just for one game.

Latest version of the forwarder template is broken. Just white screens with every game, though for some users, just the ROM menu appears.

Just use the ranomizer thing. If the TID shows up in red it's not a good one, so use the randomizer thing until it turns blue or whatever.

The TID limit was going to be removed, since Luma now patches out the whitelist from the HOME Menu, but @Olmectron didn't have time.
