Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[gudenau]

YS-Menu Auto-Boot ROM path setter (payload) Source Code here. That's where your code can be.

I'm guessing an R4i SDHC RTS, but since a version of Forwarder3-DS is coming with original R4 support, I guess buy that?

Apart from the autoboot, how does it know which app then?

I don't get what you're saying. Can you please be a bit more specific?

How does the flashcard know what app is launched? I feel like I am missing an important piece of info.

It doesn't. The forwarder(s) will just load the specified .DAT filename at 0xD1A0 (0x10AA0 if it's CIA). You are not missing any important piece of info.

So, it just messes with the memory then? Ok.

Would you mind me using the forwarder CIA files for my own version?

I got rid of the CIAs from the pack, so use the Forwarder3-DS program to make your forwarder CIAs.

This is great ^-^ Praise Olmectron's tool and no more hex editing. Now I just have to wait for my ordered DSTT card to arrive in the mail (ordered it from nds-card so should be all good )


Thanks again for the great work Bobesh

Has a fix for the English patch of Fire Emblem 12 been found yet? As mentioned before, it does work but the banner is blank.
It's a dsi enhanced game, but I've also tried setting it to ds standard and it's still blank.

Everything else works great though! Thanks for making this!

You will have to use the japanese banner for now. Just load the japanese ROM in the program, and keep it DSi enhanced.

All right, guess it's better than nothing

 

[Burnout600]

That's unfortunate, do you know of a mod to fix that?

No clue, I only noticed it because I already had a number of DSiWare titles from the eshop installed, so once I finished installing the handful of NDS games I wanted launchers for, I noticed my other DSiWare titles had vanished. Seems like there's a hard limit of 8 pages worth (going by the 3DS DSiWare data menu in system settings) so 5 items per 8 pages = 40 installed items.

Yeah, as Bobesh says. I tried everything to get a working translated banner working, but there's seemingly no way at all to go about it. Tried many, many different things. The Japanese banner works fine though.

Copy some DSiWare to the SD Card, and delete the ones you copied from the System Memory.

Did you try filling the following locations in the English ROM with 00s?
0xD1A00-0xD1A01
0xD1A04-0xD1A09

Got it working on my R4i SDHC 2015 Dual core RTS, I love it

Forwarder3-DS v1.2 is now available. The update adds support for the original (non-SDHC) R4.

 

[Apache Thunder]

I have a Gateway Blue Card which I've been told is a R4i Gold clone. So I can test stuff for that if you want to try adding that to the list.

Does copying the to the SD Card make it so you can still launch them, or are they just stored on the SD card as backup and essentially unusable until copied back to the nand?

And I did not try that. So fill those locations with 00s and use that rom to generate the forwarder?

They are just stored on the SD card as backup and essentially unusable until copied back to the NAND. Same applies to the DSi.

And yes.

@Bobesh8 if it means anything the original R4 mode doesn't generate a file for the flashcard SD like the other one does, just an NDS and CIA.
