PROBLEMS: I was just making some forwards of two homebrew apps; "Animanatee" and "NitroTracker". But I just got a white screen (on both) and the software never loads. I am able to use the home button to get back to the 3DS home menu though.

These are homebrew with their own folder settings. As in they make a set of folders and files when you use the software. Is this part of the problem? Any ideas?

Try launching those homebrew using TWiLight Menu++.
If they don't boot using TWLMenu++ as well, then those homebrew are incompatible with nds-bootstrap.

The first question is where is makecia file even needed in this? You put in the paths and it spits out the forwarder to install.

Yes. But whatever i try to do it cames out as .nds files. Not cia. And when I try drop yourself prepared by FOrwarder .nds files. It tells me that this program work on x64 not x32 system

Are you using 3ds sd card or a flashcard to set the forwarders to?
I use 3DS SD Card since i don't have any flashcard. I followed instruction. But as I said. I need to have as I seen x64 not x32 system. so that was Why I ask for help with drop forwarded nds files generatred by program into make_cia.exe for transform them into .cia. I prepare that files from my SDcard roms so it should work.

Trust me. If i was even insinuating you being stupid, you and every other person here would very much know it. I am simply asking a question to see why this isnt working as it should.
It still creating me .nds files. I move it into other directions. Still that same. I do anything with sugested things here. still no cia. That's why i sending my files and ask for do them by make cia file

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
