ndsForwarder not installing Pokemon ROM Hacked DS game?

[LiamST]

Hi all,

I use ndsForwarder for my DS games and it installs them fine. I've downloaded a couple of Pokemon ROM Hacked DS games but it doesn't install them? I locate the file, click install as normal, says install complete but doesn't actually forward the game?

Thank you

Are you sure they are not? May it be that the ROM hacks are using the same title ID and its just been installing over the same base game icon each time?

This is quite possible. I've actually read a few readme files for DS ROM hacks that mention this was an issue. There can also been issues with them saving over your original game's save file, if I remember correctly. I tend to stick with things like a Retroid Pocket 2 for DS ROM Hacks to avoid this. I figure if they can conflict with the original game, they'll probably conflict with one another on original hardware.

what rom hacks are those?

I honestly don't remember. There's not a whole lot of DS ROM Hacks compared to GBA ones.

Thanks guys. I did think it'll be something like that. I'll check later and update my findings
