As I only have my gw blue card, I'd like to buy a new flashcart that forks with this guide. Is that good?

Nope, that's SDHC. THIS one will work.

 

[Mazamin]

Nope, that SDHC. THIS one will work.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is there another one working that supports sdhc cards? I'd like to use an 8 gb micro sd with it.

Nope. I'm sure any microSD that's above 2GB is SDHC.

Ok, thanks! So if you're sure that the gw blue card doesn't work and that no other flashcart will work with my 8 gb sd card(and this guide), then I'll buy that.

You can use an R4i-SDHC RTS card.

The cards with dates on them usually have a timebomb in them.

I forget if this was already mentioned or not, but this isn't compatible with ROM hacks, is it? For example, games like Pokemon Sacred Gold or Pokemon Volt White.

Yes, it'll work with ROM hacks. Wait, did you say "White"? Pretty sure that ROM hacks/translations of DSi Enhanced games will not have their banners shown, but will still launch.

Cool, thanks! Yeah, Volt White and Blaze Black are harder/modified versions of B/W, but I was more worried about ROM hacks of HeartGold/SoulSilver because I've gotten pretty far in Sacred Gold. The Gen 5 ROM hacks are much less of a concern.

How are the games launched using these forwarders treated by the 3DS activity log?
The game shows up there as the game itself, or just the usual generic "spongebob" that shows using the r4 flashcard?
I'm asking because I'd really want to play DS games, but I care about the playtime showed on Activity Log. All the games played using ds flashcards are summed up to just the generic title. That's why I don't play them.

The games will shows up as the games themselves, in both the Activity Log, and the Streetpass Mii Plaza.

REALLY? I will surely give this a try!!
I think this information should be in the first post.

 

[Rizzorules]

I don't think so, if I remember correctly.

Forwarder3-DS v1.3 now available.

It's supposed to work alright with make_cia now. There shouldn't be any problem with the current dir name. So, it should fix the issues with people not getting the CIAs.

Test using it in a folder where you got no CIA files generated with the past version, please, and tell me how it goes.

Now the CIA files are named like the original NDS file, this way: forwarder-Original DS file name.cia, and each time you generate new files, they area saved inside a folder named day_hour, for example: 20160516_203759, which will be inside the generated folder. It opens automatically, too, after generating the files.

Added a checkbox for preferred option of keeping or not the generated NDS files. Having it selected will keep the NDS files after generating the CIAs, having it unselected will delete the NDS files if CIAs are successfully generated.

I hope this helps those who don't get CIA files with the original version. make_cia, ndstool and dll files are still needed in the same dir as the JAR file.
