Hello, I'm having some issues running a patched DS ROM through NDS Forwarder. I'm trying to run an English patched version of FE12, clean rom, DSi Enhanced version, patched through the official site's resources. The first thing that seems off is that the game icon is a blurry random mess of multicolored pixels, and when I open it, initially it seems ok, then it gives this error message:

"The DSi binaries are missing. Please obtain a clean ROM to replace the current one.
Press A to proceed to run in DS mode."

Upon pressing A, screen goes white and the NDS-Bootstrap logo appears up top, then goes black, flashes white one more time then cuts to black again. That's where it ends up. No audio, no video. I can still exit to the home menu.

Is it freaking out because of the patch? Is there any way to get it to work with the patch?

Tested on DeSmuME, both the original and patched work just fine.

I patched it through a batch file provided in the patch download.

When testing the unpatched version on 3DS with the Forwarder, it it runs but it occasionally flashes and goes nuts graphically, something similar to how Paper Mario 64 breaks on Project 64. Then it softlocks on a cutscene and just keeps looping it. The floor is gone, too.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
