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.
