But cartridge DS titles show up however, there must be a way to circumvent this!
Except when using a forwarder you're not actually launching a title installed to the 3DS. All a forwarder does is launch a title on a flashcart, and that title isn't seen by the 3DS. I should have clarified earlier. The forwarder title itself is immediately closed after launching into TWL, and this is why it isn't logged.

Yes, it works. Yes, it is logged by Activity Log.
Yes, it's the main reason I use ds forwarders.

What may not work is TWLoader. TWLoader launched titles doesn't log into Activity Log. I tried launching ds titles from my SD using only TWLoader, and it didn't work (for Activity Log purposes), haven't tried ds forwarders using TWLoader though, I thought it would work haha

But anyway, if you're using a flashcard it should work, or you're doing something wrong. Be aware of the TID.

Oh, so you're using a flashcard.
You said that the playtime doesn't show up on Activity Log.
Is the title recorded there with the playtime of 0:00, or the game isn't on Activity Log at all?

It's been suuuch a long time since the emunand era haha
But I'm almost sure that you need GBA/DS titles installed on sysnand too for it to work on emunand.

You should update your 3DS to BS9 to prevent issues like this.
There's only advantages doing that! lol

Install a forwarder on both NANDs and test it out. :>

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

If you indeed installed the forwarded on both NANDs already and you're launching from emuNAND, here's what's going on:
You open your forwarder, Activity log logs that, but then rxTools (?) switches to sysNAND to actually load the title, so you're actually playing from sysnand. I dare say your playtime is being logged on sysNAND.

[Someone correct me if I'm wrong]

Along with this, emunands have become unnecessary in recent months. They take up an extra gig or so on the sd card, and provide no extra brick protection than just using your sysnand alongside b9s. What i suggest you do is ditch the emunand entirely by backing it up and restoring it over the sysnand, and installing b9s as your main exploit. If you're on a9lh right now, you should follow this simple guide to switch: https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s

Yes, that is what I did.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
