Older version of nds bootstrap seems to load the game much faster and there is no bootstrap animation. I came back and updated the bootstrap, it loads really slow and it shows the nds bootstrap. Is there a way to load the game faster and remove the nds bootstrap boot animation?
Put in "CACHE_FAT_TABLE = 1" in "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini".
Only do this if your SD card is 32GB or below.

Hi,

First thanks for the program. I tried to install my backup of Golden Sun with this guide. I was able to install a CIA made with the forwarder3d but when i launch the app I get first white screen, then a screen for forward and finally only black in both screens.

I tried 5 times but in any case I get the same result. What I could be doing wrong?

The CIA file has nearly 220 Kb. It is correct?

Thanks in advance

Golden Sun isn't compatible with nds-bootstrap yet.

Getting a Success! after loading the file and pressing the "floppy disk" but have no idea where the files are and they aren't popping up on their own. Anyone, any thoughts?

Sorry, I don't know then.
No worries. Is this what you reference in the FAQ section?

"Q: When clicking the button to generate a forwarder, no window appears. How do I fix this?
A: Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this."

even if the folder dont pop up for you. Is there still a Generated folder within the same folder or location as the forwarder program itself?

I reloaded the nds files of the games I'm trying to load into my SD Card and now the GENERATED folder is appearing. Not sure how to trouble shoot that more. Might be a solution for some.
My issue now is that the files in the GENERATED folder are NDS files and not CIA files.
Any tips on that?

Try pressing HOME, wait a second, and press B.
If that doesn't fix the hang, I have no idea what happened.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
