Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[dpad_5678]

Yes, but not many games will work, and saving doesn't work.

Alright, thanks. Here is an exact image of my card. I've tried every "for flashcart microSD card" folder in that file (except the one for SC DSONE) and YSMenu never autoboots :/ Is there a modified firmware I need to use? My firmware for this cart includes the following files:

• R4.dat (file)
• R4iMenu (directory)
• moonmemo (directory)
• moonshl2 (directory)

 

[dpad_5678]

I placed all of the Gateway Blue Card files from the file in OP on the mSD card, but when I start up the card, I see the microSD card icon, the favorites folder icon, and the Slot-2 icon, but with no text and a black background. Trying to select the microSD card results in a dialog popup with no text.

Please please get the DSTWO working again! This is an awesome project but I feel without DSTWO functionality it drives allot of users away, still to this day the DSTWO is the most jam packed when it comes to DS game features, stupid little things like slow mo and ingame cheats!

I've tried reading through this thread a couple times, but still can't get my head around a couple things. Here's a few questions I have:

1) Are the files in the "DS Game Forwarder Pack" are supposed to overwrite the existing Wood kernel files for my R4i Gold 3DS RTS (R4ids.cn version) on the SD card if they overlap?
2) The forwarder .CIAs use YSMenu to run the roms in NTR mode, right?
3) If so, is it still possible to run the standard Wood firmware that the card came with when launching the card normally (i.e. using the "Konami Digital Entertainment" cartridge icon on the 3DS' main menu)?
4) And if #2 and #3 are true, would the saves generated with the forwarders be usable with the flashcard when launched normally without the fowarders?

Why not use TWLoader? It saves a lot of TWLNAND space from multiple forwarder CIAs, and you're not limited by the 40 DSiWare limit.

With TWLoader you have to have the nds files located on the DSTWO sd card which kind of wrecks the whole point for me... Huge SD card for my 3ds, 8 gb one for my DSTWO lol

3DS SD forwarders are broken, but you can use TWLoader, it has a nice recreation of the DSi Menu.

So I installed the cia but it doesn't launch.
Am I supposed to use the nds file I also got with 3-ds or my extracted one?
And where do I put it?

This is cooler than TWLoader.

Use the ROM. Also, make sure "Automatically use ROM path" is set, if you're using Windows.
Where are you running the ROM from?

This is cooler than TWLoader.

It's cooler, but they're outdated. With TWLoader, you can get around the 40 title limit, and TWLNAND space won't be taken up a lot.

I'm not. When I downloaded it there was a forwarder cia and nds. I only installed the cia.

Don't want to make many ds cia games so I should be fine.

Also, TWLoader works with only a few games.
Also when you play the game with this do you have to have the cartridge inserted?
Where do you put the rom file?

Same for forwarders, if ROMs are on SD. You can use TWLoader to run ROMs from flashcarts as well.

Also when you play the game with this do you have to have the cartridge inserted?

If it's a flashcard, yes, but if ROM is on SD, then no.

Where do you put the rom file?

Anywhere you want. Just make sure "Automatically set ROM path" is marked, and you're dragging the ROM from the selected device into the Forwarder3-DS window.

What game are you launching, and is it flashcard or SD?

 

[JoshiYoshi64]

What game are you launching, and is it flashcard or SD?

Sonic classic collection and SD

Sonic classic collection and SD

That game doesn't work.
Here's the compatibility list.

Is there a list with just the working games?
Also, will that game ever work?
How did you get Pokemon black 2 to work in the video because on the list it says white screen on boot.

No.

Yes. The ROM loader isn't dead, after all.

How did you get Pokemon black 2 to work in the video because on the list it says white screen on boot.

That game was running from a flashcard.
