I know this is somewhat off topic, but id really like to try to fix this>

So I had a reggular 3DS XL and upgraded to a New 3DS XL and got eveything working well. I made a forwarder that is working but the only thing is that My save for pokemon black is not working.
I can open and play the save on my old console, but if i copy it to my new one it starts without a save, i can start a new game and have it work and save and load but then i tried copying my old save again and still no go. Do you have any idea why that might be?

Move your save file to a folder called "saves", which should be made in the same folder as your ROM.

So that worked for me, but I must be missing something then.
so for another game (heart gold) the .sav is in the same directory as the .nds but now for black 2 (and only on the new 3ds) it needs to be in the /saves directory.
why did this change or what did i do different?

All .sav files should be in "saves".
If HeartGold is still reading outside of that folder, then remake your HG forwarder with the forwarder template updated.

I'm getting a top black screen and a bottom white screen, I reforwarded it with a smaller name and it still does this (I'm using an SD card)

Hello! First time using Forwarder. I have done all the steps, but the result is always the same: Forwarder does not create .cia files, only .nds (I tried Soul Silver, called SS.nds, I shortened the name in case that was the error). The final file is called forwarder-SS.nds
Also, I create the Forwarder3-DS folder in the hard drive and run the .jar file from there.
This is the information:
Target is 3DS SD Card
"Update templates" and "automatically set ROM path" are enabled. I check and uncheck the TID option (I have tried both).
I drag and drop the nds file from the SD card to Forwarder, located on my PC. The path is roms/nds/*.nds
OS is Windows 10, 32 bits.
Java updated 1.8.0_191-b12
Help me. What am I doing wrong?

Did you have any luck? Just as you, I even renamed my game SS.nds and I'm getting the same results. Forwarder is on C: root just like said on the FAQ, is this a Forwarder version problem or are we being really dumb on some of the steps?

It's an AP issue. The ROM needs to be AP-patched.
Use DS-Scene ROM Tool to patch it.
