Hi, i love your tool and it works perfectly on my pc. However for some reason if i try to use it on my laptop i cannot click the "target" dropdown menu. I even reinstalled the same java version on my laptop as i had on my pc but still didn't help. Do you know how to fix it? I'm not a coder but maybe i could also replace the "null" in the settings file to have 3ds sd card selected by default?

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

Try selecting `Update templates`, in the button above the current target.
Oh i see, my laptop is not connected to the internet. I guess thats whats different!? Is there no other way where i don't need internet? (Sorry for doublepost earlier)

No idea what is happening here as I have used this tool countless times however, when doing a 'batch' run of creating some forwarders to put on to another 3DS, they create fine and install fine. Even has the relevant game icon but regardless of which game I try to run it is always launching the same game. Any ideas?

Make sure the IDs are different, otherwise every game you install will just overwrite the previous one.

I'm trying to play Chrono Trigger, i already installed the latest forwarded pack (Ver 0.30.1) on the _nds carpet in the SD card, but the file "sdcard.nds" doesn't appear, i have the TWiLight Menu++ and i tried from there, but it keeps getting noting, in the carpet ntr-forwarder only appears a "header.bin" file, can i get any help with this?

Yes.
Also, to manage/transfer Pokemon to newer games, you can use PKSM. Dunno how to use it though.
Pretty sure you can't, PKSM ONLY recognized actual cartridges (and 3DS installs), not ROMs through this and same goes for PokeTransporter (although you can mod this one to recognize ROMs).

I'm sorry but this is wrong. You can actually tweak files in PKSM in order to tell to the editor to recognize roms. In fact, I can edit blaze black 2 savefile with PKSM lol

Yeah, I mean by default, if we are talking mods pretty much everything is possible:P

So I'm STILL having the same issue in that no matter what forwarder I am creating, it is always launching a certain Pokémon game despite the TID's all being different in thr 3DS Forwarder app. Don't know why this has started doing this as I have do e nothing different from before!

I am dragging the NDS ROM's from my SD card on to the 3DS Forwarder app, I have set ROM path set to Auto and in the target card, selected 3DS SD Card. All ROM's inside 3DS Forwarder have different TID's and I create the forwarders.

Once installed, the game icon shows as correct and game name but upon launching it from the Home menu, whichever forwarder I use it is launching Pokémon white.

Try deleting "nds-bootstrap.ini" at "sd:/_nds/".

Just tried that and still the same :(

Really don't get what is happening as never had this issue on my own 3DS.
So you deleted "nds-bootstrap.ini", and launching a forwarder that isn't Pokemon White, still launches that game? That makes no sense.
Try re-downloading and re-extracting the forwarder pack.
If it's already up-to-date, try launching the ROMs using TWiLight Menu++.

Are you using a flashcard or the SD card?
