| | 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. |
| | |
| ==Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu==
| |
| | |
| Remember the old days of having forwarder channels on your Wii that boots games from your USB drive or SD Card?
| |
| | |
| Ever wanted a way of launching full DS games like digital titles in your 3DS HOME Menu or DSi Menu? Well now you can!
| |
| | |
| In this tutorial, you can make forwarders that boots NDS ROMs from an SD Card (or if you want, a DS-mode flashcard).
| |
| | |
| NOTE: For a way to make forwarders for SD ROMs on your 3DS console, please follow this [https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/ds-index/forwarders DS Game Forwarders (3DS)] guide.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Remember to please read the FAQs, if you have any issues.'''
| | ==User guide== |
| | Below is the guide for 3DS with SD card only. |
|
| |
|
| ==Screenshots==
| | For flashcard and/or DSi users, please refer to [https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-forwarder-cias-for-your-home-menu.426174/ this complete guide]. |

| | |
| # Select the target card you're using on the left.
| |
| '''NOTE''': 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.
| |

| |
| # DSi users: Turn on "Keep .NDS files".
| |

| |
| # 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 above, right click on the game in Forwarder3-DS, click "Import banner", and click on the banner to use.
| |
| # 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 (DSi):'''
| |
| | |
| # Copy the NDS file made by the application, to your DSi SD Card.
| |
| # Install the forwarder NDS file using TMFH.
| |
| | |
| '''Finalization (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.

| |
| Q: I'm not getting a CIA, just a .nds file. Why?<br />
| |
| A1: Because you are using an x86 PC. The included make_cia build does not work on x86 PCs, and only works on x64 PCs.<br />
| |
| If you still want to run DS games, please use [[TWiLight Menu++]] instead.<br />
| |
| A2: The ROM filename might be too long. Try shortening it.<br />
| |
| A3 (Linux and MacOS users): make_cia does not have the required rights. Execute '''chmod +x make_cia''' in the terminal on the .jar file's directory, so that make_cia gets the needed rights to be executed.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: Why is the banner/title blank?<br />
| |
| A: Make sure your ROM's .nds filename is short, and/or create Forwarder3-DS folder in your hard drive (or flash drive) root, and run the .jar file there.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: How do I update the forwarder templates?<br />
| |
| A: The app will automatically update the templates if it's set, or you can click the button next to the Forwarder3-DS title, and click "Update templates".<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: How do I get rid of lag on games?<br />
| |
| A: Hold A before the DS boot screen appears, or open "sd:/nds/ntr_forwarder.ini" ("sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini for SD card users) and set<br />
| |
| NTRCLOCK (BOOST_CPU for nds-bootstrap.ini) to 0 (1 for nds-bootstrap.ini) to use TWL clock speed.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: Why aren't some of my forwarders appearing?<br />
| |
| A: You went over the 40 DSiWare game limit. Copy any DSiWare/forwarder you don't use, to your SD Card, and delete it from System Memory.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: Will the game I'm playing show up in Activity Log?<br />
| |
| A: Yes it will!<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: What games are DSi Enhanced (have animated banners)?<br />
| |
| A: Look [http://www.rfgeneration.com/blogs/pdrydia/DSi-enhanced-titles-an-incomplete-list-1969.php here].<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: Why am I taken to a ROM selection menu?<br />
| |
| A: Make sure "Games are on SD card" was checked, and you dragged and dropped the ROMs from the flashcard's microSD, to Forwarder3-DS' window.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: Will this load DSi enhanced games in DSi mode, including DSi exclusive games?<br />
| |
| A: Nope, but maybe in the future, since we can run commercial/retail ROMs from the 3DS SD Card.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: How do I use cheat codes?<br />
| |
| A: Use a program called [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w_W2TXUVYGb1-4OnxzOV8DKyh9Ecsh7W/view DSATM], or use [[TWiLight Menu++]] instead of the forwarders.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Q: I'm getting a top black screen and a bottom white screen (with error, if shown). How do I fix this?<br />
| |
| A: Make sure the ROM was dragged from the SD card (not the PC) into Fowarder3-DS while making your forwarder(s), as well as "Automatically set ROM path" being enabled.<br />
| |
| If you already done that, then please use [[TWiLight Menu++]] instead. idk the cause of this issue.<br />

| A: The forwarders are based on an outdated version of Wood, which had it's source code found. The version used has bad compatibility with some games. Open '''_wfwd/wfwd.ini''', and set '''useLatestWood''' to 1.<br />
