The SD Card forwarder pack has been updated!

• The bug where the ROM path isn't written to "nds-bootstrap.ini" for some users, should be fixed now.
  
• The first 4 Crayon Shin-Chan games and a Doraemon game by Inti Creates, now boot via nds-bootstrap!
  This is done by setting 3MB MPU size for those games.
• These games now boot without holding L:
  • 007: Quantum of Solace
    
  • American Dragon Jake Long
  • Ben 10 Triple Pack
  • Daikoukai Jidai IV: Rota Nova
    
  • Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero
  • Peppa Pig: The Game
  • Planet Puzzle League
  • Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop
    
  • Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Autobots
  • Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Decepticons
  • Tsubasa Chronicle
  • The Wild West
  • Yakitate!! Japan: Game Ichigou: Choujou Kessen!! Pantasic Grand Prix!

Please download the updated pack from the first post, and extract it from the "for SD card root" folder, to the actual SD card root, overwriting any existing files.
Optionally, you can update the templates(s) and remake the forwarders as well, but only for nds-bootstrap to read the TWLCFG.

This is cool and all, but it doesn't launch on Debian Buster 10.03, even with javaFX installed....sad

Hey that's the bug i was having when trying to run GBArunner2 right? Manually changing the path works until i open another game, then i have to manually fix the path again because it gets stuck on the last game i played. My workaround was keep a backup of the files with the path to GBArunner2 and overwrite whenever i wanna play it. Not optimal.

So if i make a new cia with the updated fowarder it should be fixed?

Yes. Another user has tested the update before release, and it fixed the issue for the user.

Please check the FAQs in the first post.

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.

sorry for bothering you. i am a mac user and i don't you how to do that can somebody plz tell me

I'm afraid it's not fixed for me. I installed the new CIA for GBARunner2, opened it, still works. Then i opened another game and the same bug where it opens the previous game still persists.
Should i do something differently? i'll try deleting the .ini file and see what happens

edit: i used "update templates" on the app. I suppose that didn't do the trick and that's my issue huh? can you explain a bit more in detail for the slow ones like me how to update?

Did you re-download the SD forwarder pack from the first post?

Sorry i figured it out after posting. Works like a charm, great news.

If anyone is a bit clueless like me, overwrite your _nds folder with what's on this link

it's on the first post but that's a long post i wasnt sure what i was looking for.

@Robz8 when I turned Pokémon Black into a cia and launch the game it says. “An error has occurred. Press and hold the POWER button to turn off the system.” But when I’m in the twilight++ menu loading the game as an .nds it works fine. Also every other Pokémon game worked fine when I turned it into a cia.

Is there an icon for the Pokémon Black forwarder?

Nope it’s white and it has no title either

Shorten the ROM and save's filename, and remake the forwarder.

It worked, thanks! Also do you know how I can delete these other white ones off my homescreen that didn’t work?

Yes. Just delete the titles that start with "00048004" in FBI.

I don't see why it wouldn't work.
What happens when you try it?
