I was trying to get my roms to work with Gateway Blue Card. When I use Forwarder3DS, the output is "forwarder-5560 - Dragon Quest VI - Realms of Revelation.nds" and not a CIA file like I think it is supposed to.. Does the Gateway Blue Card not work yet? 
Is "Keep .NDS files" not checked when making the forwarders? Also, forwarders for GW Blue Card does not autoboot ROMs yet.I was trying to get my roms to work with Gateway Blue Card.

It's listed, isn't it? Use the R4i-SDHC pack.View attachment 61947 Can I use this card? Is it compatible? I dont know which file I download for this card
With GW's Wood unable to autoboot ROMs, I can't progress any further.
Hi there, Acekard2(i) users!
I put up a new pack in the OP. Try making a forwarder using the GW Blue Card template in Forwarder3-DS, and the new pack for Acekard2(i) users.

So basically until GW decides to update their wood to autoboot roms, nothing else can happen? That's too bad
Especially since GW will never ever update the blue card. Thanks for trying though, really appreciate it!
I have R4 original Card. I installed the program with 64bit isntaller. But the forwarder3-DS v2.2 won't make me CIA file. he generated nds file only.
I have set the path for ndstool and make_cia already. I did not put these files in the same directory at the first try. So I put these files and tried again....but I got same result.
I think this is the reason.

Nothing changed.... also tried homebrew app but won't generate cia file for me.
@Robz8
could you please tell me why he won't generate CIA file for me? I have R4 original card. and my computer is Windows10 x64, installed with Native Installer.

Can you please release the dstwo launcher source code? I want to update the dstwo port so users don't have to go through the trouble of compiling twlbg\use an outdated CFW
I'm using NTR Launcher to load the DSTWO. The problem is that the Slot-1 program that copies the .ini file from the SD card to the flashcard, is unable to read the SD card.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
The native installer isn't recommended. Try using the .jar build instead. Create a folder for the .jar build in the hard drive root.Nothing changed.... also tried homebrew app but won't generate cia file for me.

Forwarder3-DS v2.5 now up in the OP!
- DSTWO no longer needs twlBg patched! Games with AP now run correctly. Redownload the pack in the OP.
- Acekard 2(i) support now included.
- You will see the DS splash screen in the Acekard 2(i) and DSTWO forwarders. Hold A to use TWL speeds, hold B to skip the splash screen.

has been a while since the last time I asked, and because of my clone r4 is really rare, but is there any updates for this fc? http://r4i.ndsi.in , it used the deep labyrinth game icon, afaik according to Apache Thunder this card is working similar as the gw blue card...

TwoSpikedHands:
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

@
TwoSpikedHands:
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?

Sicklyboy:
@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

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@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
