Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[Helix Fossil]

There's the problem. What flash card are you using?

I am using this one, since a few other users here had also bought the same.

Are you using (DSTT) YSMenu from the pack?

I recopied everything from the proper pack over to the flashcard, but now I'm getting the original issue I had before with white screens. When I try to launch the actual flashcard I just get white screens and in the middle of the top screen is a microSD-shaped icon with "? Menu" in the middle.

So you're getting white screens in the forwarders again? Using YSMenu from the pack shouldn't give you that effect. What are you doing?

I got two folders in the root. One is the games folder which holds all the games. The other is the TTMenu folder from the pack.

On the root, I have all the generated .dat files + YSMenu.ini + YSMenu.nds.

I go select a game on the 3DS home screen. I get the loading bar at the bottom of the bottom screen. Then when it's done loading I just get white screens.

Looks right.

Ah well, who knows then. It's probably some user error crap that I'll never realize lol.

I'm sure you did everything right. Could be your flashcard's microSD being buggy.

You think it would be worth it to reformat/try a different microSD card?

Yes.

 

[Helix Fossil]

Yes.

Is there an optimal way to format the microSD card? Like should it be exFAT or FAT32, and 32 KB allocation?

Actually, it does work. It just needs to be all the way in the card slot. It'll sometimes happen with my R4i-SDHC 3DS card.

I tried with Pokémon Black 2.
Upon launching, I got white screens.
Then when returning to HOME menu... Well... It didn't returned to HOME menu.
The 3DS won't even boot anymore if my R4 is inserted and it'll just crash if I insert it.

Again, make sure it's ALL the way in the slot, like Apache Thunder did with the original R4.

You mean like not using Windows' software? Use a program called SDFormatter.

Please use the SDFormatter v3.1 to format your microSD using the following options:
FORMAT TYPE : FULL (OverWrite)
FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT : ON

Yes, it is. I've been trying for hours.
Just to be sure: which YSMenu should I be using? I tried with the one on "DSTT & R4i-SDHC" pack.
I'll borrow a friend's flashcard and try to unbrick mine, 'cause I'm pretty sure it's bricked.

You're using the right pack.

Whenever I got an error screen because of loading a CIA with a bad TID (not in the whitelist), when I restarted the 3DS and retried loading any of my already successful forwarders, they always gave me white screen., no matter what I did.

I've fixed it three times already by backing up and formatting the R4i's SDHC card.

Thanks for creating this. Really nice way of using my dumped DS cartridges.

Unfortunately I've hit the pretty rubbish 40 DSiWare title limit. I'm guessing this is a hard limit that can not be passed, right?

Yep, it cannot be passed, as it was also the limit on DSi systems.

hey, thanks for this! works perfectly, except for one thing. like another user here, all of my saves I already have do not work with this method. perhaps it has something to do with me switching from a dstwo to an r4i gold in order to use this? either way, my existing saves don't work. anything I can do to make them work?

Do they work in NO$GBA? My saves work in both DSTWO and R4i-SDHC 3DS.
