Whenever I try adding an animated banner for a game for Forwarder3DS, the generic DS icon is removed and no other icon shows up. Can somebody help?

What do you mean "no other icon shows up"?
Whenever I try to replace the icon from the Animated banner replacements folder, the generic icon disappears and the game icon does not appear like it is supposed to. No icon appears after trying to import a banner.

I think it is. Additionally, whenever I try to export to .cia, the .nds file refuses to do so. I have also received the cyclic redundancy check error a couple of times while I am using Forwarder3DS. The games that I am trying to convert are the Generation 5 Pokemon games, which are all DSi enhanced.

I see. I do have another issue though, I have Earthbound extra data on my Nintendo 3DS that is only one block long and I have never played or owned the title on my 3DS. Do you know where this comes from? If not, do you know if it is safe to delete without bricking my console or doing anything serious to it?

One more thing. I have tested out some new games that are not on the compatibility list yet, and I would like to contribute to the list.

Hey, I have an R4i-SDHC RTS and I followed the guide to the letter, but the forwarders don't appear to be working. It looks like my flashcart isn't recognizing whatever custom menu you had us install in step 1.2.

Any ideas?

I have no idea why this wouldn't work.

I missed a step in the instructions, and I got a little bit further. Now when I run the forwarder there's a black top screen and white bottom screen. I tried following the troubleshooting steps for this new problem in the guide, but no dice.

Any other advice you might offer? It's okay if there is none, I know this software is quite old by now.
