Here it is my second entry in the dsi scene (or third if you consider this as 2 separated things). With this program, you'll be able to create dsiware forwarders for your games to be used with hiyacfw.
Forwarder creation tools
When configuring the forwarders, if you are already using TWiLight Menu++, then the bootstrap will be in the "_nds" folder, otherwise download it from ahezard's repo and place the template config file in the same directory as the bootstrap's. This setup is required only at the first launch, if you want to redo the setup, you can do it by keeping a pressed during the boot of the app.
Atm it's not possible to change the game settings for the bootstrap from the app itself, the only way is edit them from a pc, you can find the game settings in the data folder of the dsiware (title/00030004/gameid/data), saved as "bootstrap.ini".
Forwarder creation tools
REQUIRED TEMPLATE FILE:
Windows version
DSiWare version
Download the latest template file from here https://github.com/edo9300/Rungame-template/releases (it's needed by the following tools to actually create forwarders), extract it:
changelog:
- In the same folder as the exe if you're using the windows tool to create the forwarders
- In the MakeForwarder folder in the root of your sd card if you're using the ds app
changelog:
- v2.1
- Fixed the selection of the path for the savefile.
- v2.0
- Added support for bootstrap version 0.17.0
- Added the possibility to change the save path (if the user wants to store the saves from a location different than the rom's folder)
- Added a small settings menu.
Windows version
Its usage is pretty simple, on your pc you only need 2 files, the exe, and the "template.nds" file (it's provided in the release archive).
You'll just have to drag your nds rom over the exe (or provide it as aurgment when launching it from command line), after that, in the same foder as the nds file a "title" folder will be created, you only have to place this newly created folder in the root of your sd card.
When you first start the app, you'll have to set up the paths to the game and the bootstrap.
