I did something wrong with TWiLightMenu and it takes a long time to boot games. It takes 7 minutes to load White 2. Also I like TWLoader’s GUI.
Update nds-bootstrap to the latest version.
TWLoader doesn't support the latest nds-bootstrap version, and has less features than TWiLight Menu++.

As for your forwarder issue, is the .nds filename shortened?

I fixed my problem. The SD Card template for some reason got corrupted, so I had to enter on the .fowarders folder and erase sdcard.nds, then the app will download the missing file.
Where is the .forwarders folder? Is that just you? Maybe I could try the same.

Yes. Also I tried AP patching all that apply. They all have two letter names.

Also I appreciate all the software you’ve been making. I almost thought there was no way to “digitally” play nds games. :D

It's a hidden folder in the same place as the .jar file.
Okay. I tried erasing sdcard.nds and it did restore it, but I still got an nds file. Is there still something I’m doing wrong?
Thanks for the help by the way.

EDIT: Also, any suggestions on what boxes should be checked?

Welp, I have a problem.
Q: I'm not getting a CIA, just a .nds file. Why? (or: Why is the banner/title blank?)
A1: Make sure your ROM's .nds filename is short, and/or create Forwarder3-DS folder in your hard drive (or flash drive) root, and run the .jar file there.
I've already tried all this but it still gave me an .nds file, I dunno what to do..

Alright, after 3 days of figuring out on what's up with 3-DS Forwarder, I found out a solution to why it won't make .cia files of the .nds files (I'm not sure if this solution works but so far it works with me). I think the reason why is because of the make_cia that comes with the 3-DS Forwarder app doesn't work which is possibly why it doesn't give you the .cia files but instead gives you .nds files that is generated from the app itself.

So, I decided to do a little research and found this .zip file which contains the make_cia file. All you have to do is extract the make_cia, get the make_cia file and replace the file from the 3DS-Forwarder with the file you got from the extracted folder, and there you go! Hopefully this worked as it did for me. :):)

Thanks. It worked for me too. I was beginning to think that I was really stupid and couldn't follow simple steps...

I noticed there’s no sleep mode while using NDS roms. Is there a fix for that?

EDIT: Nevermind. This problem only occurs when using wireless communications.

is potential cheat support in forwarders something that is even possible? maybe adding a cheat file to the forwarder creation,
would there be anyway to have a gui to activate and deactivate cheats

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
