Hi if followed all the steps and even got the game on homecreen but when I try to launch the game it gives me an error message and just restarts my 3ds, is there any possible way to fix this?
quick question. I previously played a ds game on an emulator. do you have any info on how to transfer save files as well? Edit: the forwarder creates a save folder for ds games in the same folder as the ds roms. I just replaced the SAV file there with my own, and it worked.
@@Stricken-Zero when you select a folder for DS ROMs in the program, and create a game and play it, it will create a save folder in the DS ROMs folders. Just replace the one made there with the one you want, and there you go.
I have soul silver and storm silver but can only have one on my home screen. It seems like they use the same icon and this cant be on the home screen at the same time. Is there a way to fix this?
when I go to put any gen 5 Pokémon game (black, white, black2, white2) on my home screen from homebrew it says install failed check the log for errors 0xffffffff. Can anyone help me as to why this happens and how to fix it?
Tried this and when I installed them from the forwarder, it just gives me an error screen saying Error type: generic Process ID: 15 and all sorts of things, prompting me to reboot by pressing any button
Thank you so much. Since the shop is closing and DS systems and games are getting harder to find, this is preserving the consoles. I knocked the dust off of my new 3DS xl and breathe new life into it. This truly is amazing.
i just modded my 3ds today and ive been able to play so many games i havent played in years, and your tutorial is making me question why i hadnt sooner! its so easy and straightforward
I'm trying to put some homebrew DS games I got from github on my 3DS menu (specifically Fireworlds) and it's not working. Is it because it's homebrew? I have some homebrew games from online updater that were able to be added, is there something I'm missing?
i really want to get Pokémon black and white 2 on my 3Ds, but how do i know which websites are safe to download roms from? i don’t want anything harmful on my pc. im new to this stuff that’s why im asking 😅
What games did u try? Because I tried Pokémon Heart gold and also Pokémon Platinum, even though they showed up on my Home Screen, once I boot them they get stuck on this screen as well
I dont know what im doing wrong but when even i go into homebrew launcher and try to download the games the dont show up in the nds folder so cant download any of them
Dude, this was awesome - it feels so natural to have them on the Home screen. It was a breeze to get my small collection of 14 DS games added to my 3DS. 👍
Doesnt work same issue was the twilightmenu😪 error code everytime i open either the twilightmenu & or the nds game i installed with this video.........
I make it to the Universal Updater, I download the thing you said to download, and it doesn't appear in the homebrew launcher. I downloaded both versions, tried tons of things, nothing works. Could you help, please?
Do you know if its possible to create and load save states playing DS games like this? Similar to how you can when using a gba emulator? Or do the games run normally as if the cartiridge was in the 3ds and you must use the games native saving method (ie. No save states)?
help! I need some advice. So, since the pokemon bank is now free, I decided to transfer all my pokemon from the old games to it, the older ones come from pokemon platinum. Now I haven't downloaded the poketransporter cia yet, but some have confirmed to me that the bank reads it. I would like to know if by installing pokemon platinum in this way, it is read as an original cartridge by the poketransfer allowing me to transfer the pokemon to the bank. Can anyone tell me if it works? Alternatively I can always move them from platinum to ultrasole with the pkhex, although I would like to avoid doing that, as the only legit way would be through the bank, and I don't know if there are problems if then once I try to transfer them from ultrasole to bank, a problem is given since they have never been there.
is there a way to do this with 3ds games? some games arent available through hshop like kirbys robobot and id like to have it on my home screen as well
Thank you SO MUCH!!! Using Twilight was so annoying, and I love the more authentic feeling and look of having it all on my homescreen. Shoutout to anyone else who's here after the E-shop shutdown.
why won’t my nds game pop up in ndsforwarder? it shows up in homebrew, fbi, and 3dshell. I did it using my phone idk if that does something but it shouldn’t right?

Playing nds games on a hacked/modded 3ds doesn't need to be a complicated process because of twilight menu or some other extensions to be able to play nds games and you have the perfect, easier and simplest solution to this topic.

Can you please please help me .for some reason whenever I get a dsiware on my 3ds it says error . I can play 3ds games with no issue but anything ds it won’t read :(

For anyone curious on how to delete one after installing - they're stored as DSWare, so go into game settings in the settings folder, then DSWare.
But if they dsiware then you only have 40 ds games onto the home menu only since there is a limit for the dsiware games witch is so stupid.

Super quick and easy, great video! Any idea how to delete the ROMs from the main menu when I'm done with them? I can't seem to figure that part out.
They should show up in system settings and let you delete them just like any other 3DS Game, they do for me atleast.
does anyone know how you can use the custom title thingy?
Is there a website where I can get the roms from?
Vimm's
How do you add cheats to the games
the qr code won't work... the link also wont work. Don't know if my camera wont pick it up or what. nevermind, had to clean the camera.
my roms wont show up in the forwarder but i find them in the FBI app under /sd/roms/nds, im kinda lost
how would i use cheats with this method over the twilight menu??
Thanks man you just helped a 62 year old dog learn a new trick 😅
This is the best tutorial and easier than I thought it would be. Thank you!
Who needs that when you can just buy a R4😅
Can we delete the .nds files from the sd card after this process? Or are they required to keep the save states?
