Amazing work, but I had a few issues:

When trying to load Pokémon White and White 2, it take me to the ROM selection screen of the flashcart (a SCDS2).

Some ROMS had problems with the forwarder (Sands of Destruction freezes when trying to load a game, Blue Dragon Awakened Shadow freezes when trying to interact with almost anything...), but when running them through the flashcart menu, everything's fine.

Does anyone know a way to fix these issues?
Do the ROM names have the "é" character?

Hey, so I downloaded the latest build, and whenever I try to generate forwarders for dstt, it just makes an empty folder and does nothing else. I know that it isn't an issue with the .nds or sd card because I can generate cias using acekard as a card model (solely to see if it works). Any solutions?

It somehow works now.

Can I load YS at all?
Hold B while it loads.

Have you updated the templates? Check the FAQs to see how.

Been a while. Have I missed much? Any new developments?
M3 DS Real now works.
GW Blue Card also works now, albeit with bad game compatibility, due to save files unable to load.
3DS SD card: More old DS homebrew now work, thanks to @ahezard's nds-bootstrap (included in the pack).

Ok, so I've been at this for hours, but I'll try to keep this as short, but detailed as possible:

I'm using an r4i 3ds sdhc (bougth from r4i-sdhc.com). I have my ds roms on the flashcart as "flashcartsd:/ROMS." I downloaded the "DS Game Forwarder pack (DSTT, R4i Gold, R4i-SDHC, SC DSONE)" pack, and copied the contents of "for Slot-1 microSD (R4i Gold, R4i-SDHC)" to the root. I also got the 3DS SD Card files, "_dsttfwd" and "nds," then put them in the 3ds sd card root directory. Now with my most recent attempt, I ticked "Games are on SD Card," "Auto-Random TID," and "Update templates at startup." I browsed to my "ROMS" folder on the flashcart, then selected them all and they loaded in. Once loaded, they all had blue TIDs, so I proceeded generate them. I generated the CIAs, and copied them to my 3ds sd card, to a folder I have for cias. Using FBI, I finally downloaded the forwarders.

SO now the problem: No matter what I've done so far, the forwarders never boot anything, resulting in an "error" telling me to look at the Operations Manual, like it does when a card isn't seated in well. However, if I press the flashcart's icon like it was a normal card, it boots up fine, but with the original kernel. I'm not sure what YSMenu is supposed to look like on my type of card, but one of my theories is that YSMenu is simply not starting up? Not sure, send help please.

If you're using EmuNAND, install the forwarders to SysNAND too.

Will the games run from internal sd card on new 3ds with a forwarder and without a flashcard?

Yes, but,

NOTE: Currently, it's not possible to run commercial/retail ROMs from SD Card with forwarders, just homebrew and Download Play ROMs.

  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
