Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

So, what's been going on?

So, what's been going on?

As far as me and Olmectron goes...

• I was able to give him some code for Forwarder3-DS related to external templates
  • Auto-detect the banner offset
  • Auto detect the GamePath start offset and length if you wrap the game path white-space between <<<Start NDS Path and End NDS Path>>> in the source code... This is what I mean...
  • Olmectron also decided to make Forwarder3-DS open source

I was also able to make a forwarder template that modifies the ini files and boots the actual slot-1 (so things like RTS work)

I also have some code that could be put in the templates to allow per-game ARM9 speed boost if Olmectron decides to add that option to the app

If you're wondering, my template can be found here, it's based off of NitroHax / NTR Launcher... it can modify the ini for both Wood and YSMenu... I've only tested it on a R4i Gold RTS but in theory it should work on anything that uses Wood or YSMenu as the default kernel and has a DLDI available to patch it with...

@Robz8, which ini do you modify for DSTwo so that it auto boots?

Use short names for games ,
and install in sysnand and emunand

Thanks! It started working. I'm trying to find every way, short of purchasing a DSi flash cart, to play my DSi-Enhanced Pokemon with DSi capabilities. Just can't tell if it's working as the games have no save files.

It seems you can now use SuperCard DSTWO Forwarders alright in the standard Luma3DS branch:

Does anyone know how to fix Dragon Quest VI to make it work with DsTwo?

Does anyone know how to fix Dragon Quest VI to make it work with DsTwo?

Even if it's not set-up to work with forwarders, it doesn't work?

No . It freezes at "creating adventure log".

Is there any way to avoid the "DSTWO forwarder, Press B to continue" screen and have it boot straight to the game?
And if not, what purpose does that screen serve? Just curious :3

 

[RocketRobz]

No . It freezes at "creating adventure log".

Try running the game on an emulator for PC, then save the game and copy the save over to the DSTWO.

EDIT: I haven't played the game.

Whenever I try to boot a forwarder, I just get to the rom selection screen and hit a wall. Is there anything I'm missing? DSTWO user here.

Check "Games are on SD Card", and select the ROM on the flashcard.

Did you click on each game in the app and put the correct Game Path (the game and name the NDS file game will be in your Flashcard's microSD)?

Just tried that, but still the same error. Actually it is a problem of the rom (or the card with that rom), not the .sav file. Because the Japanese version of the rom works perfectly but both the USA and EUR roms won't work (they both freeze at "creating adventure log"). Do you have any idea on how to fix this?

Do you have a legit copy of the game? If so, you could try dumping it yourself.

I used to. But I don't have it anymore

Well. Can't think of anything else. Maybe editing the ROM with a patch, or something. Who knows.

You could look for it on other pages to see if it was a bad download or dump.

No luck, sadly I think I may have messed up my twlBG.cxi though, seems like it is a 0 byte file. I've tried to repatch it from the start, but the batch now fails saying that cp is not "recognized as an internal or external command".

@Robz8, which ini do you modify for DSTwo so that it auto boots?

The files autoboot.ini and autobootglset_.ini are unique to autoboot.nds. autobootglset_.ini was originally globalsettings.ini.

The game path's .ini file is modified at sd:/_dstwofwd/autoboot.ini by the template, and is then copied to slot1:/_dstwo/autoboot.ini after the DSTWO is booted.
