Generate and Install NDS Forwarders

Miscellaneous NDSForwarder
Overview

NDSForwarder

This app will create nds forwarders and install them to the home screen of the 3ds.

The forwarders created with this app work in conjunction with the nds-boostrap forwarder pack for SD cards here. Read more about it on the GBATemp page

this takes the place of the Forwarder3-DS java app listed on the gbatemp page

DSiWare Template downloaded from http://olmectron.github.io/forwarders/sdcard.(fwd|nds). Thanks to Olmectron for providing templates via their website.

Thanks to Martin Korth for GBATek, which provided pretty much all the information needed about the nds and dsi formats.

Thanks to 3DSGuy and everyone else who contributed to CTR Toolkit (of which, make_cia which is used in Olmectron's forwarder3ds app)

Thanks to RocketRobz and the DS-Homebrew team for all the nds-bootstrap and TWiLightMenu++ stuff.

Thanks to Oreo639, Piepie62, Fenrir, and everyone else who helped me in my development career.

Thanks to lifehackerhansol for helping me test

Finally, thanks to the DevKitPro team for the toolchain (wintermute et al). Without that, homebrew just wouldn't be a thing.

Anyone else that I forgot to list, it's not you, it's me. Thank you. My progress is a product of the community and all it gives back. Thank everyone for being a part of it and helping.

  • Cannot install 2 custom rom forwarders at same time

    Cannot install 2 custom rom forwarders at same time

    I have 2 hacked roms (Pokemon Blaze Black 2 and Fire Emblem 12 English for reference) that I am trying to install forwarders for. I can create a working forwarder for each individually using a custom banner for each or forcing install and using the default banner.

    However, one always seems to overwrite the other - when I successfully install the first forwarder, it appears on the homescreen without issue, but when I successfully install the second, it replaces the first. It does not seem to matter what order I do these in. Additionally, I have about 20+ other forwarders installed with no issues, it seems to specifically be a problem with these two. I also have at least one other hacked rom forwarder installed (Pokemon Renegade Platinum) with no issues, it is just these two roms with problems.

    Here is the log file, this includes me creating all the other forwarders, and then various attempts at creating the two forwarders in question. Note that I removed the custom banners after a few tries to see if they were causing the problem.

    Install Failed: 4294967295

    Using an English patched ROM, here's what the log says.

    info: [Builder]looking for banner at /roms/nds/Fire Emblem - New Mystery of the Emblem.bin info: [Builder]looking for banner at sdmc:/3ds/forwarder/banners/Fire Emblem - New Mystery of the Emblem.bin info: [Builder]looking for custom bmp icon at sdmc:/3ds/forwarder/icons/Fire Emblem - New Mystery of the Emblem.bmp error: [Builder]Invalid banner CRC 2 error: [Builder]Failed to create forwarder.

    Any leads on how I can fix?

    Edit: Forgot to mention that I can boot the rom fine using Twilight Menu++, so I don't think the issue is with that

  • Random TID is broken

    Random TID is broken

    Hello, I noticed Random TID doesn't seems to work (at least in version 1.4.4, 1.4.3 and 1.4.2.1, but it seems to work in 1.2.0-beta). This cause to not randomize (some ?) the TIDs. In my case I have 2 romhacks (Blaze Black 2 and Volt White 2), when I install 1 it keep overwriting the other one, so I can't install both at same time.

  • Linking a game didn't work, now crashes system settings

    Linking a game didn't work, now crashes system settings

    I'm on an old 2DS, running Luma, and a bunch of other stuff from the 3ds.hacks.guide tutorial on hacking a 2DS

    I was trying to forward a dumped New Super Mario Bros. copy. Everything was fine, until I unwrapped the game. The photo looked like an old TV static with color, and the name was a bunch of unrecognized characters (solid ? blocks) and random characters. It didn't launch. I thought, "Oh well, I'll just remove it." Usually I delete titles through the settings and Data Management section, so I went there. I click on DSiWare, and guess what? My 2DS crashes! "Exception type: data abort". I can send a picture of the error and the error log (they call it a dump) file if you want, but I won't right now because it's too much work if it's not needed. Anyway, how can I access my system settings? Is there a different way to delete the title/forwarder?

  • Allow setting custom banners for a title

    Allow setting custom banners for a title

    Support for custom banners/icons in TWiLight Menu++ was added kinda (not really probably) recently. You can use it to set custom icons or entire banners for games without ever modifying the ROM.

    It would be nice if this were carried over to ndsForwarder, perhaps with a prompt.

    But logger will output builder_isDSiWare.

  • OK to use regular Forwarder packages from NTR_Forwarder Github?

    OK to use regular Forwarder packages from NTR_Forwarder Github?

    Hello. I'm sorry for abusing the issue reporting system, but I don't see a Discussions area, and this might be worthwhile clarifying. I see that you link to an NTR Forwarder package on Dropbox, instead of the NTR_Forwarder Github repository.

    Does this mean your forwarders require a modified version of that package?

    I was wondering if I can simply continue to update the NTR Forwarder package through Universal Updater when any new releases appear, and still be able to use the forwarders I created with your tool.

    Thank you for this incredibly convenient tool!

    Playing Games in Widescreen?

    Forgive me if this has been written somewhere and I didn't see it, but is there a way to make widescreen work? In the newer updates, it says widescreen is supported, but I cannot get widescreen to happen on any titles. Did I miss a post somewhere where it says what I have to do to play in widescreen?

    Apologies if I missed it, and thanks in advance.

  • 3DS mode support (YANBF merge/integration)?

    3DS mode support (YANBF merge/integration)?

    Given that YANBF exists now, can the creation of such 3DS forwarders instead of DSiWare be added?

    This would make ndsForwarder the ultimate forwarder: no more finicky java crap (accomplished by ndsForwarder), no more having to move the microsd to the computer (annoying), no more 40 titles limit (accomplished by YANBF) and easy custom banner creation (accomplished by YANBF) all packaged in an easy to use 3DS app (accomplished by ndsForwarder).

    In other words it would seem the perfect marriage of these two projects

    Homebrew NDS-Bootstrap version selection/automation

    (https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/nds-bootstrap/issues/1284 for some context)

    For me, the game runs totally fine in TWLM++ on my New 2DS XL with the latest everything, but the forwarder simply shows a white screen, and then a black screen, not even the nds-bootstrap logo shows up.

    I'm not sure if this is an issue with nds-bootstrap that TWLM++ gets around somehow, or if it's an issue with the forwarder, so I hope this is the correct place to ask this.

    EDIT: Could this be related to TWLM++ automatically using the -hb build of nds-bootstrap whereas the forwarder doesn't?
