I double click on the .bat file, it opens and then immediately closes.
I try to run it as administrator. Same thing happens.
I double click on the .jar file. NOTHING happens.
Try reinstalling Java. If that doesn't fix it, then you need a certain version of Java for it to work, which idk what version that is.

I mean, I had to install Java last month, so it's definitely at the latest version.
But since you don't know what version I need, I have no clue what to do.
(Wonder why so few of these tools are ever either Python-based or just contain whatever's needed to run them by themselves.)
I can't get this to work at all. Here are the steps I take:
1) Put roms in rom folder
2) Open Godmode, transfer roms to gm9:out
3) Open Forwarder, open roms from gm9:out in Forwarder, convert them to cias, rename them so their title doesn't have "fowarder" in it and is identical to the gm9 out and ds rom titles, aside from the fact it's a .cia and not .nds file of course
4) Put .cia files at root of sd card
5) Install cia files through FBI
Then my screen goes all white then half black/half white. Am I missing something? I have no idea what to do anymore :c

Is "Automatically set ROM path" enabled?
If so, what OS are you using on your PC?
No, even when "automatically set rom path" was enabled it didn't make a difference. And I'm on Windows 10, unless you mean the exact version of it.
He's saying the generated CIA isn't made from the DS game ROM, but is made from a .nds made by Forwarder-3DS, and that the actual game ROMs needs to be kept on the SD card.
A .nds made by Forwarder-3DS? So that does that mean I check the box saying "keep .nds files" or is that irrelevant? It's hard for me to determine what step I'm messing up on. Do you think by any chance you can tell me where the mistake is and then I can correct it? Oh does the name of the TID file matter by any chance?
That's irrelevant. If "keep .nds files" is disabled, then it deletes the .nds made by program after creating the CIA.
The .nds file made by the program is used as the base for the CIA.
Try updating nds-bootstrap, and/or post what's in "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini".
No, it doesn't.
Because you have known extensions turned off.
"nds-bootstrap.ini" is the config file shown as "nds-bootstrap".

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
