I know this is somewhat off topic, but id really like to try to fix this>

So I had a reggular 3DS XL and upgraded to a New 3DS XL and got eveything working well. I made a forwarder that is working but the only thing is that My save for pokemon black is not working.
I can open and play the save on my old console, but if i copy it to my new one it starts without a save, i can start a new game and have it work and save and load but then i tried copying my old save again and still no go. Do you have any idea why that might be?

Move your save file to a folder called "saves", which should be made in the same folder as your ROM.

So that worked for me, but I must be missing something then.
so for another game (heart gold) the .sav is in the same directory as the .nds but now for black 2 (and only on the new 3ds) it needs to be in the /saves directory.
why did this change or what did i do different?

All .sav files should be in "saves".
If HeartGold is still reading outside of that folder, then remake your HG forwarder with the forwarder template updated.

I'm getting a top black screen and a bottom white screen, I reforwarded it with a smaller name and it still does this (I'm using an SD card)

Hello! First time using Forwarder. I have done all the steps, but the result is always the same: Forwarder does not create .cia files, only .nds (I tried Soul Silver, called SS.nds, I shortened the name in case that was the error). The final file is called forwarder-SS.nds
Also, I create the Forwarder3-DS folder in the hard drive and run the .jar file from there.
This is the information:
Target is 3DS SD Card
"Update templates" and "automatically set ROM path" are enabled. I check and uncheck the TID option (I have tried both).
I drag and drop the nds file from the SD card to Forwarder, located on my PC. The path is roms/nds/*.nds
OS is Windows 10, 32 bits.
Java updated 1.8.0_191-b12
Help me. What am I doing wrong?

Did you have any luck? Just as you, I even renamed my game SS.nds and I'm getting the same results. Forwarder is on C: root just like said on the FAQ, is this a Forwarder version problem or are we being really dumb on some of the steps?

It's an AP issue. The ROM needs to be AP-patched.
Use DS-Scene ROM Tool to patch it.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    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

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
