Hi all,
this is my first question here, so bear with me. I've spent last few days trying to find some information and I am unable to find the correct usage.
The site on gamebrew NDSForwarder_3DS states:

Custom dsiware banners​

  • They must be named the same as the nds file.
  • If your nds file is Jamal's Home Cooking.nds your custom banner should be Jamal's Home Cooking.bin.
  • Custom banners can be located with the nds file or in /3ds/forwarder/banners/.

Custom Icons​

  • They must be 4bit BMPs, 32x32 pixels and be named the same as the nds file.
  • If your nds file is Jamal's Home Cooking.nds your custom icon should be Jamal's Home Cooking.bmp.
  • No Colorspace info (compatibility options when exporting in GIMP).
  • Color at index 0 will be transparent/white.
  • Custom icons can be located with the nds file or in /3ds/forwarder/icons/.
But, I am unable to install the game with banners and icons. I have the following files:
'Legend of Zelda, The - Phantom Hourglass (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).bin'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Phantom Hourglass (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).bmp'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Phantom Hourglass (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).nds'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Spirit Tracks (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (Rev 1).bin'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Spirit Tracks (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (Rev 1).bmp'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Spirit Tracks (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (Rev 1).nds'
I've also tried to put the files in their respective folders but it did not help.
/3ds/forwarder/banners/
/3ds/forwarder/icons/
Is this method even working?

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    anything that offers trump an opportunity to become an actual dictator
    is bad in my book, i could care less if it wasn't for that...

    @BakerMan, yeah that's about the only reason I would vote for Trump over Biden.

    In my opinion on all other factors they are pretty much the same.
