The .ini is done by the .DAT file, so any changes will be overwritten.
Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

Alright so I've played around with it a bit, and here is what I understand:
The .dat and the .nds have to be the same name. Booting a forwarder will update the INI with the name that rom SHOULD be.
Actually renaming the .nds file and putting it in /Games will cause it to boot.
What I want to know now is: Is there any faster way of doing this? I'm not entirely sure how to match up the .dat and the .nds file without constantly booting forwarders from my home menu and seeing the ini changes.
Alright, realized I've been an idiot and Forward3-DS was the answer I'd been looking for. Sorry about that, but thank you.
Other question: I tried to install 80 CIAs but only 40 stuck. You mentioned that 40 DSiWare was the hardcap; does that apply even to the DS forwarders?
will r4i neo revoluion for ds www.r4ineo.com work? (it has a spongebob icon) and what kind of clone is it?
Put the folder with the .jar file in the hard drive root, and/or shorten the .nds filename.
whenever i try to save with pokemon white game freezes but this only happens when i use forwarder what should i do

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
