There a regression that made the game not work in later versions.
Please wait for a fix.

Step 1: Converting NDS to CIA
Steps 2-3: Renaming CIA file to be identical to NDS file (removing "forwarder")
Step 4: Placing CIA file at root of SD card (.nds file in nds section in roms folder, other in gm9/out)
Step 5: Opened FBI, selected CIA file, installed CIA
Same thing happened, all white screens then top screen was black, bottom white

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Here is my nds-bootstrap file after launching the CIA

Now I see what's wrong.
You accessed the SD card via wireless.
The SD card needs to be inserted into the PC itself.

Oh! I don't have an SD card adapter for my laptop though, that's why I've been doing it wirelessly. Is there an alternative to this or is purchasing an adapter extension the only solution?

When I tried to download Pokemon white and black all I get is a white banner and no title.when I try to enter it all it does is crash my system. Is there any way I can fix it?

Try removing any instance of ( or ) in the filename.

In Forwarder3-DS, after opening the ROMs, click on them, and in the path, remove what comes before "gm9", leaving no slashes at the beginning of the path.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
