YANBF VS GYTB

For DS games, you need to create CIA on PC. https://github.com/YANBForwarder/YANBF

you can use YANBF to install them as 3DS software instead of DSiWare, just note that there's a limit of 300 total icons.

If you have a computer that’s able to run the app, you can use YANBF. It turns your .NDS files into .CIAs you can install on FBI

C. YANBF. This also makes icons on your home menu for each game. Unlike NdsForwarders, it installs icons as 3DS games, so it counts toward the much larger 300 3DS title limit. It also seems to support antipiracy autopatching, though not cheats and save slots like TwilightMenu++. It's also a bit more complex to install.

if you download the rom to an NDS game, you need/can only use it in Twilight Menu. Twilight Menu is a bit slow on loading times, but it also has a bunch of emulators packed into it, allowing you to play the rom files of games from any console/device that it recognizes, provided the file's in the right folder. if you want to have an NDS game show up on your home menu, you can use an app called NDSForwarder. it allows you to make up to 40 forwards/shortcuts of any NDS roms you have in your sd card. if you want more than 40, you'll hae to use this https://github.com/YANBForwarder/YANBF . it took me a day or three to figure out, so just ask for help if needed, but it does have instructions for use.

I'm trying to find software to create an nds forward that has support for a widescreen patch. I have tried both YANBForwarder and NDSForwarder, both of which say they have widescreen support, but after following the listed instructions and installing their respective widescreen patches, I got nothing. Are there any troubleshooting steps I can take? Is there another software I could try?

Take a look at YANBF. You have to do a bit of work creating the forwarders on your computer, but once you get it running, it works like a dream.

Does using GYTB work?

That's why you need GYTB.

just gonna leave this here: https://github.com/MrCheeze/GYTB

If you like customizing your 3DS (like with Anemone) try GYTB, it lets you make custom badges for your homescreen.

https://github.com/MrCheeze/GYTB Here you go. You can also download it from universal updater, but the link contains the instructions.

Theres a few dumps of badges floating around if you google it, but the full library? No. However you can make your own custom badges with GYTB: https://github.com/MrCheeze/GYTB If you choose to make custom ones you can never open badge arcade again or they'll be deleted.
