Homebrew [NDS] Forwarder CIAs for your HOME Menu

[Toyskyline]

Tried remaking my forwarders to DSTWO and all of them are getting me to DSTWO's main menu. Using the files form the first post and using version 2.9.3. Tried looking for template updates and still nothing

The newest templates aren't working with DSTWO anyways, at the moment the result of setting everything up properly is getting a white screen.

Doesn't work with my Acekard 2i. It just keeps booting me into the YSMenu. Is it normal that the program will also create a .nds file along with the .cia file? Do I need to do something with that as well?

Edit: More informations
n3DS (A9LH + Luma3DS 6.6 (latest hourly))

The YSMenu.ini in the _nds folder shows this

[YSMENU]
AUTO_BOOT=/roms/nsmb.nds
DEFAULT_DMA=true
DEFAULT_RESET=false

You don't need the generated .nds file. You can uncheck "Keep .NDS file".

The YSMenu.ini in the _nds folder shows this

Is nsmb.nds in "fat:/roms/"?
fat = flashcard root

 

[Schnida]

Yes, it is. I've been trying it with many different roms and different directories.

There must be some obvious thing I'm missing. Is it normal that the cia gets installed in the NAND instead of the SD-card?
And is it normal that the installed cia-icon doesn't appear immediately? I usually need to make a reboot first.

Try checking YSMenu.ini in the YSMenu or TTMenu folders in the flashcard root.

Yes and Yes, but you don't need to reboot. You can close the lid of the 3DS, then open it back up.

This is my root. As you can see, I don't have a TTMenu folder. There's no YSMenu.ini in the YSMenu folder but there's one in the YSMenu_norm folder

I'll fix the issue.

Try re-downloading the pack. I fixed "akmenu4.nds".

Hah, you are amazing

It works great now. Thanks for your help and obviously also for this great Tool.

So I Guess It Won't Work With This Then? Because It's The Only NDS Flashcart I Have

Had To Crop The Picture Due To It Being 2.17MB!

1. Is both TTfwd.dat and YSMenu.nds in the flashcard root?
2. Is loadcard_dstt.nds in the 3DS SD Card, at "sdmc:/_nds/"?

I figured out the issue. Turns out that despite the flashcard saying R4i-SDHC 1.45, the R4i-SDHC 1.4.x template DOES NOT work with it. I remade all my forwarders using the DSTT/R4i-SDHC (non 1.4.x version) and used the DSTT forwarder pack as opposed to the Acekard2i / R4i-SDHC 1.4.x pack and the forwarders worked.

whenever I select one of the DS games, it shows the DSi startup screen, and then the bottom screen says that I'm missing a bootstrap. Is there something I'm missing?

I don't know much about this but from what you posted, it sounds like you're missing a bootstrap.

Did you extract the 3DS SD Card pack?

My R4DS Version That's On My MicroSD Card Is Ver1.8.3b

Yeah? I'm talking about the version number printed on the actual cards face.

EDIT: Oh sorry man, I just looked again and our cards are different. I have the R4i, you don't. Sorry for quoting you.

That's Ok We All Make Mistakes

i followed all the steps.

What is your "_nds" folder structure, and what's in nds-bootstrap.ini?

 

[Mistah Spoon]

What is your "_nds" folder structure, and what's in nds-bootstrap.ini?

[NDS-BOOTSTRAP]
NDS_PATH = fat:/nds/cf_ds.nds
BOOTSTRAP_PATH = fat:/_nds/release-bootstrap.nds
NTR_MODE_SWITCH = 0
BOOST_CPU = 1
DEBUG = -1
LOCK_ARM9_SCFG_EXT = 1
That is in the bootstrap.

That's strange. Bootstrap should've loaded.
Is the "_nds" folder in the SD card root?

Is it possible to change the banner(top screen) on the home menu?
