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.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
