Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

Since I don't have write access on the excel spreadsheet, I figured I'd post this here:
I haven't tested this in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, but I can say that Pokemon Platinum runs near flawlessly (I'm at the Team Galactic Base raid right now, in the room with the two beds) except for the Underground. Any and all attempts to enter the underground result in a hardlock as soon as you touch ground next to Roark, I'm assuming this is because D/P/Pl uses cart hardware to initiate the Underground communications (I've heard that somewhere before, which I know is something that can't really be fixed). However, I also think Mystery Gift not crashing when being loaded is something worth note as well, which I'm assuming means it uses console hardware to run.

Robz8, thanks for this amazing, fantastic, dream-come true!

You're very welcome!

Sadly, WiFi isn't working, because a donor ROM is being used.

Just to clarify because I'm one of those people that takes things way too literally and my OCD needs confirmation (sorry)-
by WiFi are you referring to DS wireless communications in general or specifically Nin. WiFi connection

I'm not sure, but likely Nintendo WiFi Connection.
Also, Download Play isn't working for all SDK1-4 games, regardless if donor ROM is used or not.

I first visited this thread about 2 years ago, and set up a handful of forwarders that worked flawlessly right from the get-go.

A few months ago, I updated from A9LH to B9S, and all my forwarders stopped working. I would get a DSi bootscreen, followed by a top and bottom white screen. I've tried recreating the forwarders, but I just get the same 2 white screens. I mention going from A9LH to B9S because that is the only major thing I've done that I can think would be responsible for this.

Any ideas how I could go about fixing this and getting the forwarders to work again?

I'm using an R4i-SDHC V1.4.5 card. All the roms load fine if I go into the card via the Bomberman Touch icon.

edit: Also, when I get the DS bootscreen, my bottom screen is plain white. No health and safety messages like it normally displays.

I have not tested the forwarders in a while.
If they also don't work for me, I'll try fixing them.

dman1987 · Mar 1, 2018

Thanks! I spent a few hours last night trying to fix this to no avail. Auto ROM path set, manually setting the ROM path, trying different flash cart packs, and no luck.

I got TWLoader up and running and it loads ROMs from the flash card no problem. But I love the visual look of having the forwarders on my home screen with all my other 3DS and Virtual Console games.

Hey... I've been trying to create some forwarders recently,but none of them work

I just the ds startup sound and then just a black screen on top and a white one on bottom (or vice versa,i don't remember)

If you're using a DSTT card or a clone of it, the forwarder template for it is currently broken, from what I heard.

I've been trying different things for the past few hours with no luck. The forwarders all worked fine then suddenly didn't, which leads me to think B9S changed something that isn't allowing the forwarders to communicate with the my flashcard anymore.

I'm using an original R4i-SDHC RTS,but it uses the same thing as the DSTT right..?

Yeah same happened to me... Old forwarders i have still work perfectly fine,but the ones i've created recently don't...

When I choose Automatically set ROM path, I get "Volumes" before my SD card name. Could this be affecting the new forwarders I'm trying to make and them giving me the double white screen?

Yes. You get "Volumes" because you're using Mac OS. This bug does not occur with Windows.

Will remove that then. Do you think it will matter if the path starts as "/R4I" or just "R4I" ?

If "R4I" is actually a folder on your flashcard's microSD card root, then yes, but don't use "/" at the beginning.

R4I is the actual name I gave to the microSD card, instead of the default it had when I purchased it.

edit: Tried one forwarder with "R4I/roms/gamename.nds" and one with "roms/gamename.nds." Both still give the double white screen.

That's normal.
