Homebrew [NDS] Yet Another nds-bootstrap Forwarder: more than 40 forwarders are now possible

[lifehackerhansol]

YANBF v1.4.0

https://github.com/lifehackerhansol/YANBF/releases/tag/v1.4.0

What's new?

• Python dependency is now gone. Life is easy!
• A fork of the GUI was created to accomodate this release, for now. While the PR waits, anyway.

Improvements

• Fixed UniqueID searching where it wrongly detects more than one ID0.
• @Pk11: fixed bannergif module not properly detecting animated icons.

Known issues

• The GUI still does not have a randomizing function, though with the UniqueID collision checking this is largely unnecessary.

Fixes are mostly generator side, so no need to update from Universal-Updater for this release.

EDIT: instructions in OP updated.

If you already have save files that you want to use with the generated CIA, is there any way to make that work?

Simply put them in a saves folder in the same place as the ROM, ex:

• sd:/roms/DS/Mario Kart DS.nds
• sd:/roms/DS/saves/Mario Kart DS.sav

• sd:/roms/DS/saves/Mario Kart DS.sav

Turns out it just found them immediately, so there was no issue!

Thanks!

For anyone who is still reading this thread:

Would there be any appeal in opening up a community repo, where all the banners/sounds could be contributed by users?

My current idea with this is that if it finds a user submitted banner/sound, it will use it, otherwise it defaults to the regular boxart as the banner. There have been a few people experimenting with it, so I thought why not?

Feel free to provide feedback, and I'll consider it more.

Hi, I'm planning to download this on my 3ds later today but I'm just wondering can I get a screenshot/video how games look like forwarded on 3ds home menu?

See the second post, you can also do custom images instead of the box art if you want.

How do you use custom images? :0

How do you use custom images? :0

In the GUI just click on the game after adding it, then click the Set Box Art button.

If using it CLI then do -b path/to/image.png.

Wow it really improvement without python. The cia output in your sd:F:\cia\ , it is very easy and simple. Great job again! This is my latest installed with newer update

I made a banner for McDonald's eCDP as well because why not. The sound is a (not so professional) cut of the initial part of the main theme.
To clarify I didn't make the image, I just correctly resized the png with transparency I found googling, cut the sound and made the banner.

 

[Yrouel]

And made one for Moon as well. The sound for this one is cut from the first couple of seconds of the intro which you can hear at the beginning of this walkthrough video.
The image is not the best to be honest but I still think it's better than just the box art and it looks better in person on the console than in the photo.

Is the booting time from with the forwarder equivalent to booting to TwiLight and then to nids-bootstrap from there?

 

[haddad]

sigh I think I saw this issue somewhere else before.

I'll take a look at it again.

no rush

Forgot to reply to you yesterday. I think I fixed it. Try with 1.4.0.

Slightly faster due to not having a menu to navigate.

Will test and let you know, thanks!

I am unsure what is going on, then.

Can you try using command prompt? `generator.exe <ROM location>`
Or if there is a log file, please send that.
