YANBF VS ndsForwarder

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.

If you want up to 40 Nintendo DS game icons "installed" on your 3DS Home Menu, you need to use another homebrew app called NDS Forwarder Generator. You can find and download it from the Universal Updater homebrew app.

Use NDSForwarder. Download from your computer or open the Universal Updater app and you can find it in there (use the one by MechanicalDragon). Alternatively, use YANBF.

Or use NDSForwarder or YANBF.

1. Get an R4 flashcart, THE YEAR ON THE CARD DOES NOT MATTER! Install ysmenu+rgf kernel, get it [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/). 2. Use a [DS Forwarder](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-forwarder-cias-for-your-home-menu.426174/) to put a DS game on your homescreen. We recomended either [NDSForwarder](https://github.com/MechanicalDragon0687/NDSForwarder) or [YANBF](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-yet-another-nds-bootstrap-forwarder-more-than-40-forwarders-are-now-possible.606138/). You may need to [AP patch the roms](https://gbatemp.net/threads/ap-patch-preservation.477536/). 3. Install [Twilight Menu++](https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/twilightmenu/installing-3ds.html) which is an application that, when opened, looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. If your app is broken, try downloading it again from the Universal Updater app or [try this](https://www.reddit.com/r/3dspiracy/comments/10tr9hj/twilight_menu_white_screen/j7eqy0u/).

Use a DS Forwarder to put a DS game on your homescreen. We recomended either NDSForwarder or YANBF. You may need to AP patch the roms.

I don’t have the one I used but I recommend trying this one https://github.com/MechanicalDragon0687/ndsForwarder

Use [NDSForwarder] https://github.com/MechanicalDragon0687/NDSForwarder OR just open the Universal Updater app and you can find it in there (there's two different ones, I'd use the one by MechanicalDragon)

Ghost Eshop for most nds games. The other option is Vimms lair to get the rom and then use nds forwarder to put the game from your sd card to your 3ds Home Screen. https://github.com/MechanicalDragon0687/ndsForwarder
