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.
