Is it normal to not be able to do use an R4i Gold RTS regularly when forwarders are installed? I want to be able to start the card normally and view the game list and such but it isn't working, even when I updated "the pack", and the forwarders are working fine

Try using an original _DS_MENU.DAT file.

Updated the "Ace3DS+/Gateway Blue Card" pack (in the OP)!
  • Added "savesize.bin" to the _wfwd folder, which I assume makes games that use save data work.
  • Wfwd.dat has also been updated.
EDIT: Pack is updated again.
  • Changed "_DSMENU.DAT"/"_DS_MENU.DAT": Cards should now work as normal without using any forwarders.
  • Added files for cards with the r4isdhc.com.cn web address.

Thanks for adding the com.cn support, really appreciate it, I'm having some issues though.
First off, I misremembered, my bad, the _DSMENU.DAT needs to start with R4XX, not DSXX. Also, needs to be _DSMENU not _DS_MENU.
It also seems to just kick me to the Wood menu, and when trying to access the SD card it pops up an empty error dialogue (Probably saying it can't read the SD card, and just blank because of the theme). Same thing happens when I boot the cart directly.

I reverted " _DSMENU.DAT"/"_DS_MENU.DAT" for GW Blue Card. Try redownloading the pack and see if it fixes the problem.
EDIT: I misunderstood. @ShadowOne333, did the unreverted file work for you?

EDIT2: Also fixed _DSMENU.DAT for cards with r4isdhc.com.cn.

Still having it fail back to Wood Menu, but it's not throwing an error trying to access the SD card anymore. Looks like it might not be writing lastsave.ini

I definitely forgot to copy the _nds folder across. All good now >_>
That's good. I put back the _DSMENU.DAT file which lets you use both the forwarders and the flashcard directly. I also left the other one in the pack (with .bak at the end), in case the one I put back doesn't work. Can you redownload the pack and see if it works?

EDIT: Reuploaded again with the .DAT files for GW Blue Card and Ace 3DS+.

That one seems to work fine, it's having some trouble saving in the game I'm using to test (Elite Beat Agents), but otherwise seems to be functioning with forwarders. Weirdly, when I was able to launch games directly from the Wood menu in the previous pack, I didn't have the save issue, but when launching as a forwarder I did.

Weirdly, when I launch the cart directly it gives me the Void themed Wood menu, instead of gbatemp themed like the globalsettings.ini says it should be, and I can't access the SD card.

Funny situation here. I decided to redo my forwarders, change back to r4i-sdhc rts which is 100% ok. I deleted all the old stuff, updated forwarder3-ds, updated the templates and all that stuff. I Transfer the files to my 3ds, the forwarders and the required files.

Funny thing is.... haha, get this. My 3ds shuts off everytime I launch a forwarder. I tried the plain old launcher to be sure, both the standard and alt. Same result. It doesn't matter if my flashcart is inserted or not. Same result

It just plain refuses, and shuts off. No ds intro, nothing.

Ok, this might be a bigger problem than though. Now it refuses to launch genuine DS games through the normal 3ds launcher. (that is to say, pressing the icon) 3ds games are fine



Fixed it by updating my 3ds. I assume something must have been corrupted somehow o.O

Hello! This is an awesome app, however there is just one game that doesn't work for me. If I try to run Ni No Kuni through the forwarder/YSMenu, it crashes on me a few title screens in to the game. However, if I use R4's own launcher, it loads perfectly fine. Any clues as to why this might be? (I've tried YSmenu's AP patch -- no dice).

I'm using the latest version of the forwarder app, an R4-Wifi edition and the R4i-SDHC pack, and below are my configurations.
