I need help, i've been trying to get this to work ALL day long and it's pretty frustrating, i have a Galaxy Eagle Flashcard, it says it's compatible, but, the name never appears anywhere in the program or the "for Slot-1 microSD" folders, i spent all day long just trying by trial and error but so far nothing has worked, so i would appreciate if i could get some help

I also have a DSTT Flashcard but no matter what i do i cant get it to work with any Firmware i have found so far, but i guess thats a topic for another thread, anyway i hope anyone can help! thanks in advance!

Add "LANGUAGE = -1" to "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini".

Hey, so I know that this thread isn't really active anymore, but I'm really desperate to solve this problem.

I'm trying to forward Pokemon White 2 and Pokemon Black. Both files are DSi enhanced, AP patched, confirmed to be compatible, and have names which I assume are short enough (white 2.nds and black .nds.) I'm just using my SD card because I do not own a flashcard (I'm hoping that's okay.) I have GodMode9 installed and everything. I've tried forwarding the NDS files with them being stored on my PC, and on my USB drive. I don't own a SD to USB adapter so I have to use FTPD or plug in the SD card into a different computer and copy and paste the files on to it from my USB drive (I keep all my files on my own PC, but it doesn't have an SD card slot, so I have to use someone else's, which has one.) Because of this, I can't exactly use the nds. files in Forwarder 3DS with them being stored on the SD card directly. Instead, I have to copy them to the SD, to the point where it would have been the same as if I were to install it there directly.

On to the actual problem, I'm getting that common issue where I get the 2 black and white screens when I load my icons on the home menu. I've tried so many different things but none of them have worked. I've kept the forward NDS files on my SD card, just the regular nds files, both, and tried deleting both and just installing the CIAs. I've both checked and unchecked Automatically Set ROM paths, Keep NDS files, etc. I've tried putting the CIA files and the NDS files in the same folder and different folder. I tried personally setting the path in Forwarder 3DS. None of this works; I get the same error every time.
I'm really hoping that it's not because I can't put files directly onto my SD card from my PC, or because I don't have a flashcard and I'm just being stupid. Any ideas?

Sorry, can't help you there.
Use TWiLight Menu++ instead.

So, this is my problem, i have instaled some ds game forwarder with this tuto ( and these forwader work with no problem ) but, with no explication, the install automaticly crash with the rest of the ds game ( install with FBI ), here the error in FBI :

"Failed to install CIA file:
result code : 0xC8A08035
Level : status (25)
Summary : invalid state ( 5 )
module : AM (32)
Desc : <unknown> ( 53 ) "

My N3DS is completly update ( luma, godmode etc etc )
all my ds game was in the same repertory, in the same format and using the same logiciel to get the forwader in CIA
I really don't know why this perfectly work for the prévious game but not for the rest, i test any other cia and create new cia but i immediatly have this error ( i tried to install a other cia of a other app, no problem, it's just for the forwader )

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
