[NintendoBen]

can someone help me get set up please?

I have tried installing .nsp via FBI as well as copying and pasting the .nsp to my R4 card. when I open the homescreen app installed via FBI it lets me view the contents of my SD card but not flashcard.

When I open it via R4 card I cant see anything at all.

Any help really appreciated

I assume you mean the .cia? .nsp is for the Switch iirc
That's normal, only the Acekard 2 (2i, and 2.1) and R4 Ultra can be accessed when booted that way.

When I open it via R4 card I cant see anything at all.

And the .nds in this case?
What does it show? The file browser with no items? Maybe try booting boot.nds from nds-hb-menu first, then launching pkmn-chest from there.

Very cool stuff, thanks!

 

[SuperSaiyajinVoltZ]

Great job! Keep up the great work!

 

[jsnkhiu]

Awesome! Hopefully you can implement for 3rd Gen too as gbarunner2 (@Gericom ) is doing great since gba .sav located in sd card and pkmn-chest able to search for .sav file in the sd card.

[Shadow_The_Hedgehog82]

Does this work with gba saves to transfer to ds?

Not yet but theoretically if they implement support for gen 3 then you are able to do that but certain data will not be accurate compared to actual pal park since it will be something like this -> delete/copy pkmn from gen 3 -> duplicate/paste into chest.

I'm glad you enjoy it

I'm happy to add more translations if people are able to translate them, I just added Indonesian to the pkmn-chest crowdin project (invite) so feel free to translate on there whenever you've got time. Do you have a GitHub or some other profile you'd like me to link to in the pkmn-chest credits?

Thanks!

Would "Bahasa Indonesia" be the correct name to use for the language?

I'll add support for Indonesian in the code and merge the translation in a bit, and I'll probably be releasing v1.1.0 pretty soon too

Oh, hmm... I forgot that that was a bug, it seems to be happening on all flashcards (but not DSi / 3DS from SD) currently where its not loading some of the graphics... I'll try fix it as soon as I can...
