  • NDS games deleted off the 3ds home menu

    you can use YANBF to install them as 3DS software instead of DSiWare, just note that there's a limit of 300 total icons.
  • I'm totally stuck, 3ds wont turn on with sd card (Luma3ds)
    2 projects | /r/3dspiracy | 4 Mar 2023
    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.
  • nds Forwarder with widescreen support?
    3 projects | /r/3dspiracy | 22 Feb 2023
    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?

    I used Yet Another NDS Bootstrap Forwarder on my PC to make home-screen-installable forwarders. Although it shares file structure with twilight menu, twilight menu is not strictly necessary.
  • Which DS to buy in the current market state purely for Homebrew to play GBA/DS Pokemon games.

    Forwarders are also a nice way to play nds games directly from the home menu like native apps
