Okay. Do you have an estimate on how many forwarders I could have before storage becomes an issue? I think this is finally the last of my billion questions, haha. I appreciate your help so much.

The DS forwarders only take up a couple hundred KB each, so even 40 of them would be nowhere near filling the TWLNand. You'd only run out of space for DS forwarders if you also have a bunch of larger official DSiWare games installed.
That's a relief to hear! I'm not interested in a single piece of DSiWare, so I should be good then. Thank you Sweater Fish!
And RocketRobz, I don't know whether to thank you or to apologize, so I guess I'll do both. Thank you sooo much for answering my 21 questions, and for being as kind and patient for the sixth question as you were the first one. I have had a really hard time finding some information about 3DS modding, so your help has been really valuable.
Also, sorry for being annoying, haha. If I was a nuisance at all, you didn't show it, so I'm grateful. Thank you for developing this forwarder, and providing such exhaustive documentation and tutorials too. You're awesome!
Knowing me, I'm sure I'll probably get confused and have even more to ask once I start actually modding my system, so I might be back. But in case I'm not, thank you for the help! I appreciate you.

Hi this is an extremely late reply but where do i get the save files from white2 and other games, i cant seem to find the .sav file of it anywhere
It's in the "saves" folder, which is in the same place as the .nds file.
Has anyone tried Dragon Quest IV with the Party Chat Patch on NDS-Bootstrap yet? If not, would anybody be willing to try it?
Was there a fix for the Forwarder window not opening on a Mac? I downloaded everything and read the FAQ, but it looks like there wasn't a known fix for this--although I also wasn't sure if that question was for Mac or PC. I want to either convert a .nds to a .cia OR play a .nds right on the 3DS and I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I need. I'm assuming the Forwarder on my Mac is what allows me to follow the next step in editing the boostrap file?
I'm running Big Sur and so far everything I've seen has been a Windows app except for this option. I'm sorry if this has already been answered somewhere in these 300+ pages; I feel like I've scoured the Internet and haven't found something that works in 2021 with Big Sur. If I could be linked to an entry-level guide (seriously, treat me like I'm 5), I would very much appreciate it. Thank you in advance for any help or advice!

There is no fix, afaik.
You could try creating the forwarder on the 3DS console itself, instead of using an external PC/Mac application.
The link is in the first post.
I saw on the compatibility list for NDS-Bootstrap for SD card users that Okamiden has touch screen issues, but then I saw in a Github issues thread that it had been fixed. Is it really fixed, or is there something I'm misunderstanding? Okamiden is one of the most important DS games to me, so it'd mean a lot to be able to have it running well on my modded New 3DS.
WAHOO! Wow, that's incredible. Thank you for the reply, and especially for the fix! You seriously just made my day!
hi @RocketRobz
its been a while since i played my 3ds. Im catching up on the updates on hacks/homebrew etc...
i just noticed i cant find the apfix folder (that contains the ips patches) on the latest twilight menu???

It's now a file called "apfix.pck", and is placed in the "extras" folder.
The guide has been updated in the past to reflect the change.
oh, i didnt notice the op was updated. Its nice to see that the patch was merged into one file
btw, thanks for attending to my question :-)
as always, thank you for the hard work you put on DS devices.
well, I have the DSTwo and trying to get it work with the forwarder but after all the process when I launch the game the splash screen appears but the game don't boot and I end in the DSTwo Start Screen if I proceed then the last booted game through DSTwo start
Followed the Tuturial over and to see if I missing something but probably not, tried with auto set path rom on and off.
PS: months ago I tried to use that DSTwo to boot DS through TWiL++ but the same thing happened

Hi @RocketRobz
Just wondering if there was a way to fast forward regular DS games through Twilight Menu++ or through the forwarder? I understand this might've been asked before, but I haven't been able to find an objective answer on this thread or on Reddit.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.
Nope, it is not possible to fast-forward DS games, as they're not emulated.
Thanks for the prompt response. I just had one more question. Would I be able to do online trading for games like Pokemon Black using the DNS hack if I play the game through TwilightMenu++ or through the forwarder?

I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs -

Psionic Roshambo:
I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
