Wow, thanks for this! I never thought I would use my old R4 again, but now it's full of games and all the forwarders are working fine. Cool B-)
I have an R4i-SDHC and just get white screens. I've made sure the ROM path is correct "Roms/GameNAME.nds" but nothing. It says in the opening post that flash cart forwarding templates are currently not working. What did you do to get it working?

Since this can be downloaded using FBI installed with the titledb, you think maybe is possible to make it able to get everything required to make it work on the system without having to use a pc or some other tool?

So, can FBI download now NDS files?
No i don't think it can, but that doesn't seem to stop the twloader from doing it, it can download boostrap updates as well as the cia to install new versions.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also i keep getting a error when trying to load my game card, must restart system, so any help? My roms load fine just my game card doesn't

Just got my DSTT flashcard, and I still haven't been able to get this working. It worked before on my R4i RTS.

Problem: Two white screens after the DSi bootup intro.

I downloaded "DS Game Forwarder pack (DSTT, R4i Gold, R4i-SDHC, SC DSONE).7z".
1) I put the files from "for Slot-1 microSD (DSTT)" folder onto the root of my flashcard micro SD.
2) I put the files from "for 3DS SD Card" folder onto the root of my 3DS micro SD.

Ran Forwarder3-DS (Current version: v2.9.3)
1) In the FORWARDERS tab I set target to "DSTT/R4i Gold/..."
2) In the FORWARDERS tab I checked "Automatically set ROM path"
3) In the TWLOADER tab I selected "ROMs on flashcard's micro SD card.
4) In the TWLOADER tab I checked "Automatically set ROM path"

Inserted my flashcard micro SD into my PC.
1) Dragged and dropped an .nds ROM file from the flashcard micro SD to the Forwarder3-DS program.
2) Created the forwarder .cia file.
3) Installed the .cia file via FBI.
4) Reinserted the flashcard into the 3DS.
5) Ran the newly created forwarder icon. --> Two white screens after the DSi bootup intro.

What went wrong here?

The game was: Legend of Zelda - Phantom Hourglass, The

Same here, I missed the disclaimer in the OP and already removed my older, already working, DAT based forwarders in anticipation to installing these new ones only to realize I screwed myself over.

Make sure the file is not "Forwarder3DS-v2.9.3.zip", the program is "Forwarder3DS.jar".

To all with white screens in combination with a SD card:
Just uncheck the automatically path setting option, click on the game's icon and set the path manually to where your rom is on your SD card.

I also did this, says creating Save File, Done, then white screen. Tried more than one game.

I lied, it took a while, but booted before I turned it off. Long load times are worth it!!! But so far only one of my games. Maybe renamed path wrong...

But when the game launch i have this error
"Unable to access data Please turn off the console and reinsert the ds card"
In the compatibility list, pokemon mystery dongeon explor of sky eur suppose to be compatible :/
Is it a compatibility error or a bug with my nds file ?Or an another things ?

EDIT : I tried with the US version, i have the same error

Hello, I'm using the forwarder CIA's with an Original R4, New 3DS XL, and Luma CFW. It works great except for one thing.

Is there a way to skip the flashing white screens when using the Forwarder CIA's for the games? It flashes white and black multiple times before starting the gamewhich is a bit annoying. I don't get those flashing loading screens if using the R4 Stage 2 TWL launcher.

For reference, I have these settings.
I have
- NTRCLOCK = 0
- DISABLEANIMATION = 1
- HEALTHSAFETYMSG = 1

Thank you!
