YANBF VS PKSM

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.

Homebrew your 3ds and put cfw on it (if you want to have an easy time rng abusing) Download Pcalc Download PKSM Inject the Zeraora event into your savefile with PKSM Download 3dsrngtool on your PC Watch the tutorial from Im a Blisy about wondercard rng

Transporter and bank only work on legitimate games, for unofficial VC, and NDS games you'll have to transfer them to a 3DS game through PKSM https://github.com/FlagBrew/PKSM

Download and install the 3ds Homebrew app "PKSM"

Proof: https://github.com/FlagBrew/PKSM/issues/1055

You can't use Poke Transporter even if you have Crystal Clear on VC. It won't recognize the game. If you really want to transfer your Pokemon and have a different Pokemon game on the system you can use a tool like PKSM and recreate your Pokemon.

In my experience, the best way to cheat in Pokemon is using save editors rather than codes. For hacked 3DS, PKSM is the way to go. For hacked DSi, Pokemon Chest. Both are about the same thing: a combination of Pokemon Bank without needing to connect to the internet, moving pokes between generations, and a savegame editor that can create and edit Pokemon as well as some other stuff in your save. PKSM is the better app since it supports generations 1-7 on 3DS, but Chest runs on a DSi and handles generations 3-5.

You can find out how to install CFW here and get PKSM here. The guide will also have you install Checkpoint which can backup 3DS and DS save files. Cartridges will always show up in the top left corner in Checkpoint though you sometimes have to wait like 20 seconds before they appear for some reason. The save files it backs up go in /3ds/Checkpoint on your SD. If you want to use PkHex to export your Pokemon to files so you can trade them with someone via a chat app, backup, extract what you want to trade, get other ones in exchange, and import them. Then put the save file back and restore it with Checkpoint.
