Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[FEmaster2020]

Where are you booting the ROM from?

I was trying to boot it from my ’DS games’ folder and then I made a Dawn of Sorrow folder with my save inside in it’s own folder. Sorry for the late reply by the way

I mean is it on the SD card, or a flashcard?

 

[FEmaster2020]

It's on an SD card

If other ROMs are working fine for you, then the ROM you're trying might be corrupted.

Well I also tried the rest of the Castlevania games and the Fire Emblem games and they also didn't work

Launch the games using TWiLight Menu++ then.

 

[FEmaster2020]

That I confirm does work

Nope, not even Forwarder+SD method works.

I was able to boot pokemon shining diamond into 16:9 but of course it was stretched it does lend credence though to forwarders settings for widescreen are the same as the one generated for twilight

Hi, I have a major problem... The "target" bar is just blank, is there a site where I can download the templates to import them manually? I use an offline pc and can't update them online

Download the files from here, and put them in ".forwarders".

I cant hex edit a renegade platinum banner.bin so it would be awesome if you were willing to do it and post the bin file

For some reason it doesn't make a CIA files when I click on the floppy. How do I fix this? I'm using a SD card. The games just say 'forwarder Game Name.nds'. No cia.

So it doesn't work on a Mac? Shame :/

Any other way to get the shortcuts on the home menu? I'm not sure my little sisters are able to find the files without messing it up.

Nope, there isn't.

Everything runs great thanks for this! But I get nds-boostrap splash screen instead of regular NDS one. Any way to change this? I did not install twilight++.

But it runs on Catalina just fine. Get an old version of Java 8 (251) for mac here- https://soft.uclv.edu.cu/Java.RunTimeEnviroment/v.8/

then in terminal cd onto the folder you have the .jar and type "chmod +x make_cia. It will start making cias.
Then run the .jar.

The DS splash screen was removed to save space and have it not show during soft-resets.
To disable the nds-bootstrap splash, if you're using a 32GB SD card or lower, put in "CACHE_FAT_TABLE = 1" in "sd:/_nds/".

I see. I am on 64gb card and is there a way I can add the NDS splash screen back? It seems to show up on the YouTube video you've posted in the OP.
