They're only DSi Enhanced.
Firstly, what flashcard do you have?

I have the r4 gold 3ds
I assumed this was to just put games like black and white 2 on the 3DS as cias and install and run them from the sd card ? Or do I need to use the actual cart or r4 card ? Which ultimately defeats the purpose of this

use twloader for that. this is for forwarders on your nds flash cart, so u don't have to go through the menu. there's limited space in the twl, so u can only do so many games.

B&W 1&2 don't work from SD card yet, so you'll need a flashcart.

The forwarders are for SD as well, not just for flashcards.

A forwarder ? I'm not following..so you're saying there's NO way to run black or white 2 on the 3DS like we do VC ?

a forwarder acts as a loader for a particular game on the flash cart. u don't have to go into the flash cart's menu basically. u need to use twloader to load games on the sd card of the 3ds itself. be warned though, the compatibility isn't great. for full compatibility, use a flash cart.

Well, i managed to get it working in the end.

I did nothing different then before, however i did replace my r4 for a new one (i bought a backup years ago :P ) and used a new SD card and redownloaded all the games.

Now it seems to work fine.

Thank you for the tool! :)

Hello, and thanks for the piece of software/guide first :)
Got a question: Which specific Java version is needed for Mac OS? Or rather with which was it confirmed working before?
Trying the app here on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 and it does not open/crashes with the error message "Check Java console". Maybe Im just using the wrong Java version (usually Java is very rarely used here on Macs so I grabbed the newest version I found on Oracle's site)
Thanks for any idea/help :)

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.

    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
