Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[Rizzorules]

Hi robz8
Im having this problem but there is no ysmenu.ini in my folders
Q: Launching the CIA just takes me to the ROM selection menu. How do I fix that?
A: While leaving YSMenu.ini on the root alone, delete or rename any existing YSMenu.ini file in the YSMenu and TTMenu folders.

Use the search function on your computer to search for YSMenu.ini everywhere in the microSD card.

Try manually booting the ROM.

 

[Rizzorules]

it works,let me make another cia

 

[RocketRobz]

it works

You're using the latest version, right? It has the option to set the rom path to where your ROM is at.
Check "Games are on SD Card", and select or drag&drop the ROM that's on the card.

I thought the path was set to my sd card root but it was set to my GAMES folder,i moved the rom to tha games folder and now its working perfectly and thanks a lot for your hard work.

If the JAR file says the nds file is a DS STANDARD file rather than a DSiWare enhanced file, does it count toward the 40 game limit?

You forgot to exclude Ware. There's no such thing as DSiWare enhanced, just DSi enhanced, unless it's a typo.
All forwarders are DSiWare, so no. There's always the option of copying forwarders to the SD card.

I'm confused, sorry. If all CIA forwarders count as DSiWare, then you can only have 40 CIA forwarders on the home menu at any one time no matter what type they are (provided you don't have any other DSiWare installed)?

Also, I installed a CIA file for Kirby's Canvas Curse and now I want to delete the forwarder, but its not showing up in System settings > Saved software for me to delete. How do I delete it? Thanks.

Yes.

You went to "Data Management > DSiWare", right?

 

[superkrups20056]

Yes.

You went to "Data Management > DSiWare", right?

Got it. Thank you. Last question: Mario Vs Donkey Kong Mini Land Mayhem is not generating a CIA, just a .nds file and .dat file. I've ran it individually and with groups of roms. Why is this? Thanks again.

The .nds filename or the Forwarder3-DS path is too long.

 

[superkrups20056]

The .nds filename is too long.

You're amazing. Last question. I promise: If I end up copying all my forwarders to the SD card via System settings > data management > DSiWare > copy to microSD, I could potentially have an unlimited amount of forwarders on the home menu? Or is the limit still 40?

The SD card is where you store DSiWare, like if the system memory is running out of space. You can't run them from SD card.
The limit is 40 in the HOME Menu, but more than that on the SD card.

No matter what I try, I cannot get Pokemon Black, White 2 and Phantom Hourglass to work. All 3 are blank white icons and they give me errors. I've made sure the roms are unhacked and randomized the TID many times.

Make sure the .nds filename and/or the Forwarder3-DS path isn't too long, and that you're using the latest version of Forwarder3-DS (v1.6.2).

This is like having software in a USB flash drive and adding shortcuts to them to the desktop.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??

Well, because if you launch the flashcard and load the ROM there, it won't appear in Activity Log. Also, because there's still no way of running DS ROMs natively (no emulator) from NAND/SD.
It is also like having Wii games in a USB flash drive, and adding forwarders for them to the Wii Menu. Because there's no way of running Wii ISOs from NAND.

I'm sure there's other reasons why.
