For some reason,when I install the forwarders they simply don't show up in the home menu,even though they appear on FBI title list,i tried remaking the forwarders, even tried using faketik but nothing changed....

I'm having the same problem what i've noticed is the forwarders are overwriting existing ones so they are on the home screen at least for me at least. Which is why if Pokemon Diamond replaced FF3, if I delete Pokemon, FF3 goes off the homescreen. I'm currently trying to find a work around.

It seems the games that overwrite each other share the same title ID according to custom install not sure why though.

Yes but did you install twighlight menu?

Did you enable external FIRMs and modules in the luma config menu?

Did you enable widescreen in the ntr-forworder options menu?

View attachment 355193


If you boot games directly from twighlightmenu ae they showing in widescreen?

Edit wait a moment. On your sd card go into the luma folder. In the luma folder create another folder called sysmodules. Then copy Widescreen.cxi into the sysmodules folder. Finally rename the Widescreen.cxi to TwlBg.cxi and that should fix your problem.
how do you get to the ntr forwarder menu?

How do I get this working on MacOS? It just keeps loading forever when clicking the Download button, and there's no logs in the log folder. I am using the latest version of Ventura.

I have been googling this issue a lot but most results I get are on Windows.

I have both python and Java installed if that's required.

EDIT: Never mind, I got it working. I used an incorrect folder

I tryed re-generating all the forwarders at the same time,and it worked.

I had tunnel vision and looked into editing the title ID and didn't think to re-generate them. But it made sense because the new forwarders were giving me problems, thanks for this.

Replying to myself in case anyone else stumbles across the same issue and doesn't want to remake all forwarders. My issue was caused when because I was using a different version of YANBF from when I initially made my old forwarders. I forgot to copy the id.txt file to the new version which caused new forwarders to have ids that clashed.

kinda new here. I've been generating forwarders from both gui and cli successfully , but whenever I launch the forwarders it only gives me black screen (no errors) then after some time boots back to 3ds home menu. I followed all steps prior in making forwarder cias including TWiLightMenu, forwarder pack, bootstrapcia, etc. Tried both 32k & 64k cluster size yet no success. I also checked path.txt in ntr-forwarder folder to make sure I created forwarders with correct path in sd card. From here I'm already stuck, any suggestions for a fix?

Can you launch the games from TwilightMenu?

it's because i noticed a difference between twilighmenu loading the ds game is faster than yanbf
I think it launches into an extra 3ds style app at the beginning (you get the 3ds splash) and then transitions into ds mode. Where twilight and NDS forwarder just go straight into DS mode?

After starting the game, the screen is always blank. After pressing the home button to exit, the data may even be damaged, and the game cannot be deleted after entering fbi, because the wrong game will be black screen when entering fbi

When I start the game I get "start failed. Error -1"
I followed the guide step by step and redid it and looked for a solution and found nothing
Someone help me?
if anyone else is having this problem it might work if you put your rom.nds name at the end of the directory you put in YANBF

After a while trying to solve it, I paused the searches and found out that I hadn't done this, after doing that it worked
I thought it automatically recognized the filename for some reason, even though the program instruction said to put the .nds

I have no idea if @lifehackerhansol still maintains this, but does anyone know if there is any way we can make the banners at a higher res? It seems like vanilla 3ds have some nice large banners, why do these have to be 256x128?
I've seen other home brew with banners larger than this as well, so there should be some way to do it right?

256x128 is the standard for homebrew (possibly the only size for 2D banners? or maybe someone just picked that years ago)

It would be possible to do more if 3D banners were supported, but currently they aren't. It would probably be a relatively simple code change to support them though, the tricky part is just making them.
