Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[Naendow]

Ok, that answers my question. Thx

 

[Temarile]

I was trying to get my roms to work with Gateway Blue Card. When I use Forwarder3DS, the output is "forwarder-5560 - Dragon Quest VI - Realms of Revelation.nds" and not a CIA file like I think it is supposed to.. Does the Gateway Blue Card not work yet?

Is "Keep .NDS files" not checked when making the forwarders? Also, forwarders for GW Blue Card does not autoboot ROMs yet.

It's listed, isn't it? Use the R4i-SDHC pack.

With GW's Wood unable to autoboot ROMs, I can't progress any further.

Hi there, Acekard2(i) users!
I put up a new pack in the OP. Try making a forwarder using the GW Blue Card template in Forwarder3-DS, and the new pack for Acekard2(i) users.

With GW's Wood unable to autoboot ROMs, I can't progress any further.

So basically until GW decides to update their wood to autoboot roms, nothing else can happen? That's too bad Especially since GW will never ever update the blue card. Thanks for trying though, really appreciate it!

I have R4 original Card. I installed the program with 64bit isntaller. But the forwarder3-DS v2.2 won't make me CIA file. he generated nds file only.
I have set the path for ndstool and make_cia already. I did not put these files in the same directory at the first try. So I put these files and tried again....but I got same result.

I think this is the reason.

Try to drag and drop the generated file on ndstool and then on make_cia.

Nothing changed.... also tried homebrew app but won't generate cia file for me.

@Robz8

Can you please release the dstwo launcher source code? I want to update the dstwo port so users don't have to go through the trouble of compiling twlbg\use an outdated CFW

I'm using NTR Launcher to load the DSTWO. The problem is that the Slot-1 program that copies the .ini file from the SD card to the flashcard, is unable to read the SD card.

The native installer isn't recommended. Try using the .jar build instead. Create a folder for the .jar build in the hard drive root.

Forwarder3-DS v2.5 now up in the OP!

• DSTWO no longer needs twlBg patched! Games with AP now run correctly. Redownload the pack in the OP.
• Acekard 2(i) support now included.
• You will see the DS splash screen in the Acekard 2(i) and DSTWO forwarders. Hold A to use TWL speeds, hold B to skip the splash screen.

EDIT: Fixed a bug in the Acekard 2(i) and DSTWO packs, where the NTR clock speed is used, regardless if A is held.

has been a while since the last time I asked, and because of my clone r4 is really rare, but is there any updates for this fc? http://r4i.ndsi.in , it used the deep labyrinth game icon, afaik according to Apache Thunder this card is working similar as the gw blue card...

Try the R4iDSN template & pack.
