Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[Makoto0729]

When you launch the forwarder, does the white screen happen after the splash screen?

Yep. Just tested that.

@Robz8 Is the problem with the save files on the ak2i fixed?

I don't think I'm able to fix that problem.

Yep. Just tested that.

I fixed the Acekard 2(i) template. Try updating the templates.

I don't see why you would want to waste valuable home menu space on several .cias when 1 app will be able to do the exact same thing. Unless it's some sort of bragging rights/authenticity feel or something...

Anyway good job with this guys. Here's hoping we get DS-SD commercial loading by the end of the year.

I like the little icons

I like the little icons

And they animate for TWL games.

Exactly!

:/ Too bad. Don't know if the ak2i should be in the compatible flashcarts list yet then.. I mean as soon as you boot the same game the second time, it doesn't get past the loading screen. If there's any sort of tests you want me to do, I'm here to help. Good luck on the SD card booting rom project though, sounds great!

Strange. You did everything right.

Did you have "Games are on SD Card" checked, and drag and drop the .nds file in the card to the Forwarder3-DS window?

I made some other tests but every time i have splash screen followed by a white one; yes 'games are on SD card' is always checked and .nds file is opened or dropped directly from folder into n3ds sd card.
i'm using Luma on latest emunand, installed on both sys and emunand of course

thanks all for help

forgot to say i copied -sdfwd into main folder, .nds path seems to be right

I'm having a rather weird issue here, trying to get the download play demo's or homebrew roms to load from the 3DS SD card. Every CIA I attempt to create just goes to a white screen, no intro at all. I have the settings in Forwarder3-DS set as they should be, and I dragged the roms into it from the SD card folder I intend to have them in, and nothing. Do I need the twlbg patches for this to work, cuz I'm on the latest Luma hourly and I'm pretty sure they removed the setting for that a while ago. I've tried with MKDS, Mario&DKMinis2, and TetrisDS from a certain site, all same result. Any ideas as to what I could/should do?

And unzip the pack into your 3DS's SD card, as Robz8 said.

Oh wow, I am the biggest fucking idiot on earth, I can't believe I missed that. Thanks.

NTR Launcher [emoji14] but dunno if you figure out how to write files into flashcard's mSD with it.

Adding to this earlier conversation, for my personally having the DS forwarders is for 3 reasons

1) Easier and quicker launcher. No need to go through the Wood R4 menu, just click the title and wait a little bit
2) Lowkey bragging. Showing off to friends that I have "DS games on my 3DS".
3) It just looks cool and satisfying

Oh and since age was mentioned as well - I'd classify as "the older people" easily.

Also, games show alright in the app list which shows the play time.

I fixed the Acekard 2(i) template. Try updating the templates.

So, a couple things are going on now. Regular DS games run from the card after a reset or two, but it seems to not recognize the save files anymore. Meanwhile, the forwarders themselves are broken entirely. Not working for any game I throw at them. Don't know what's going on. Tried with Pokemon Black for a DSi-enhanced and Apollo Justice and MKDS for regular DS games. Pokemon Black won't boot at all, and the others only boot from the card's blacked-out menu.

How were the forwarders broken?

 

[RocketRobz]

DSTWO and Original R4 forwarder templates are now updated!
The Original R4 forwarder template now uses NTR Launcher, and both templates now search for settings at sd:/nds/ntr_forwarder.ini, so redownload the pack for your flashcard.
