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.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.
