Trying to sus something out, for some reason three games (specifically FF - Echoes of Time, FF Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, and Dragon Quest IX, don't seem able to get a forwarder. They generate as normal and when I install the CIA, I get a DS rom on the Homescreen as usual, however it has no name attributed to it, or picture - it's just white. Attempt to launch causes the 3DS to crash obviously... Anyone have a similar problem or know what I could do to fix it up?
the name of your game is too long. shorten it then create the forwarder again. you can also mave the forwarder software to the root of your hardrive and create the forwarders from there.

does the forwarder work with the new TWiLight Menu++ widescreen feature?
if not is there any plans to support it in the near future?

idk. I don't have one.
Hey sorry for asking the same question twice but I haven't had luck changing the banner for any of my forwarders... Is there any way you could help me with that? I understand is not your priority right now, but I don't know if there's anybody else here that I can ask.

Just right-click on the game in the forwarder app, and select a new .bin file for the banner.

mmm the thing is when I try that, I just get the regular nds banner with a black picture on it, when what I'm trying to do is put a custom made 3ds banner into the cia.

That's not possible.
The forwarder CIAs are made as DSiWare.

You didn't download and/or extract the SD card forwarder pack, as instructed.

That's weird.
Anything else you did? Extracting the pack shouldn't trigger this message.

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
