Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[Antons20]

Make the .bat file with this line inside it:

make_cia --srl=%1

Gives me this error:

"This version of C:\Forwarder3-DS\make_cia.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher"

What windows version are you running?

Home Edition. That explains it. I don't think it'll work on Home Edition.

 

[Antons20]

Home Edition. That explains it. I don't think it'll work on Home Edition.

So, only works on Professional Edition?

 

[RocketRobz]

So, only works on Professional Edition?

Yep.

 

[Antons20]

Yep.

Well, I'll try on Windows Pro and Linux, maybe I get some lucky and I get it work

So wait, I've been gone for a while. The OP doesn't explicitly state this, but I'm taking we finally got Retail ROM booting from the 3ds SD card?

Hold on, I'll update the template to make it compatible with both retail and homebrew ROMs.

EDIT: and... done! The template and pack are now updated.

I have an R4 SDHC Gold Pro 2016 from www.r4isdhc.com. I had the forwarders working in the past but had to format the console and now I have no idea which settings to use since then. Does anyone have this flashcard and if so, which settings are you using?

@Robz8 I know what's the problem when I tried to make the CIA, the "make_cia.exe" file only works on 64bits based windows system, can you make a 32bits version, please?

Do you have a 32-bit version, @ihaveamac?

Sorry for sounding like a scrub but does this mean we are able to play NDS games as a cia off our sd card on the 3ds?

After a lot of effort, I've got everything working, but when I boot the forwarder, I get this white screen with a microSD-shaped red mark with "? menu" inside. It seems to suggest that the files in the forwarder could not be found, but I am still concerned that the forwarder cias I created do not lead to the files on my r4... Advice?
