Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu is a forwarder generator app for DS game forwarders on 3DS/DSi. Based on [[Forwarder3 DS 3DS|Forwarder3-DS]] originally by Olmectron. ==User guide== Below is the guide for 3DS with SD card only. For flashcard and/or DSi users, please refer to [https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-forwarder-cias-for-your-home-menu.426174/ this complete guide]. Also see the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LRTkXOUXraTMjg1eedz_f7b5jiuyMv2x6e_jY_nyHSc/edit#gid=0 compatibility list] to check what games work from the SD card. ===Requirements=== 3DS: * [[GodMode9 3DS|GodMode9]]. * A CFW that patches TWL_FIRM ([[Luma3DS]]). * A CIA installer ([[FBI 3DS|FBI]], DevMenu, etc). * An SD Card (or microSD card for N3DS). * (Optional) DS-Mode flashcard (aka, Slot-1 to microSD card adapter). See [https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-forwarder-cias-for-your-home-menu.426174/ compatibility list]. PC: * Forwarder3-DS. * x64 version of your OS (maybe needed for Windows). Windows only: * Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable. Windows/Linux/Mac: * Java 8 Update 251 (Thanks to @djwyman for finding this out). * Java SE Development Kit 8u281 (Thanks to @RoyalTea for finding this out). * Local language set to English. * Linux: JavaFX. ===Using SD card=== Preparation: * Download the required files [https://github.com/RocketRobz/NTR_Forwarder/releases here] (look for tags starting with "SD"). * In the 7z file, extract what's in "for SD card root" to the root of the SD card. After you extract the pack for your card, you can edit "sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini" and change one of the settings: * BOOST_CPU: If set to 1, TWL clock speed is used, so lags begone. * SOUND_FREQ: If set to 1, sound will play at 48khz, instead of 32khz. * LANGUAGE: If set to -1, the system language will be used. * REGION: If set to -2, the DSiWare game's region will be used instead of the system's. Getting AP-fix from Twilight Menu++ (skip, if the app is aleady installed): * Download the latest TWiLight Menu++ here. Only get the 3DS.7z file. * In the 7z file, go to "_nds", "TWiLightMenu", and "extras". * Drag the "apfix.pck" file to "sd:/_nds/ntr-forwarder/". Dump your ROMs with [[GodMode9 3DS]] (skip, if you already have the ROM(s) you need): * Make sure you have your DS game cart inserted. * Hold START on boot to bring up the payload selection menu. * Select GodMode9. * At [root], select GAMECART. * Copy the .nds or _trim.nds file to anywhere on your SD card. * When you're done dumping your ROMs, power off the system. Using Forwarder3-DS: * Run the app (Forwarder3DS.jar). * Select the target card you're using on the left. * If you don't see a list of cards, download a zip file [https://github.com/Olmectron/olmectron.github.io/archive/master.zip here], and put "forwarders" in the same folder as the .jar file, and rename "forwarders" to ".forwarders". * Turn on "Automatically set ROM path" to set the path to where your ROM is at in the SD Card or flashcard. ** Linux users - The automatic path is incorrect since it includes the entire path (e.g. /media/$USER/something/). Please remove that part. ** MacOS users - The automatic path is incorrect since it includes "/Volumes/(cardname)/" at the start. Please remove that part. * Click the folder on the top-right, and find the ROMs on the SD Card (or flashcard) you are using, or drag and drop them (from the SD card or flashcard, not the PC) into the window. * SD card users - If your DS game's save file is in the same folder as the ROM, move it to a folder called "saves", which should be made in the same location as the ROM. * If you're playing a hack/translation of a DSi-Enhanced game that has it's banner/title edited, find the banner for the game, right click on the game in Forwarder3-DS, click "Import banner", then choose the banner. * If using a homebrew ROM, click on it, then clear and type in the game title. * Click the floppy drive button to generate the forwarder. Finalization for 3DS: * Copy the CIA to your 3DS SD Card, or put it in Boop for network installation. * Install the CIA(s). If using EmuNAND, install it to both Sys & Emu NANDs. ===Notes=== * For a way to make forwarders for SD ROMs directly on your 3DS console, please follow [https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/ds-index/forwarders this guide]. * To install more than 40 forwarders and/or if you want the banner to not be the game's icon, use [[Yet_Another_nds-bootstrap_Forwarder_3DS|YANBF]] instead. ===FAQ=== Please see [https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-forwarder-cias-for-your-home-menu.426174/ this guide] by RocketRobz. ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrews/forwardercias3ds3.png ==Media== '''How to create a DS forwarder for 3DS''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYvTltQT6R8 Rojelio Reyes]) <br> <youtube>DYvTltQT6R8</youtube> ==Credits== * Olmectron, for making Forwarder3-DS. * RocketRobz, for creating the Auto-Boot ROM Path setter for DSTT/R4i Gold/R4i-SDHC/R4 SDHC Dual-Core/R4 SDHC Upgrade/SC DSONE, Acekard 2(i)/R4iTT, and DSTWO. * ahezard, for making the R4/M3, Acekard RPG, R4iDSN/R4i Gold RTS forwarder templates, and nds-bootstrap. * Apache Thunder, for recreating the DS/DSi boot screen. * MasterCheese, for help with getting the Ace3DS Plus, Gateway Blue Card, and cards with www.r4isdhc.com.cn to work. ==External links== * GitHub - https://github.com/RocketRobz/NTR_Launcher/tree/forwarder * GBAtemp - https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-forwarder-cias-for-your-home-menu.426174
