Wait does it have to be your copy of the game or can it be a ds rom from a website
I’m new to 3ds modding and forwarding I just need more help on how to get the games to show on the 3ds menu

Please check the FAQs in the first post.

I was like you once. you need to put the roms in the root of the sd card or put the _nds folder in the sd card root

but don’t you need to turn the roms into a cia file?
process goes like this:

  • copy roms into whatever folder on your SD card (any rom will do, no need to dump from cartridge, just don't ask for rom websites here, apparently)
  • drag and drop that file into fowarder, it should automatically set correct path, if not, uncheck that option and write it urself
  • create the cia and install. (the cia is just some sort of dummy that points towards the NDS rom, so you need it -the rom- on your sd card)
  • if you have the black and white screen problem with all your games, make sure you have the lattest version of nds-bootloader and follow the "part 2: getting the AP fix" on the first post of this thread
That's all i think it's needed to make ur games work. I'm kind of a noob like you so i understand your struggle, hope this helps

Don't know if it's intentional but my forwarders now open games in widescreen.
I decided I wanted to try twlm++ so I went ahead and installed it, then followed the process to enable widescreen in twlm++. It worked well but it also works now when launching games via forwarders.
Not complaining :)

This is not intentional.
You need to install the latest TWLMenu++ CIAs using FBI, then make sure there is no "TwlBg" files in "sd:/luma/sysmodules/".

Is there a way to play the DS games on full screen? I read the FAQ's and OP but couldn't find anything talking about whether it was possible of not.

Can I make a .cia forwarder for Super Smash bros Rumble? I mean can I make a cia and have it save? It uses a .ini file to save. If I can use the save feature, where do I put the .ini file?

You could try if Rumble works first. If it doesn't work on the SD card, you could try on a flashcard instead.
I have no idea if you need to manually provide the .ini file though.

    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

    For your R4

    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.

    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

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
