If you have any issues, check the FAQs on the [GBAtemp thread](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-forwarder-cias-for-your-home-menu.426174/).

### Requirements
|
|
|
|
3DS:
|
|
- [Luma3DS](https://github.com/lumateam/luma3ds/releases), or any other CFW that patches TWL_NAND
|
|
- [FBI](https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases) to install CIA files
|
|
- (Optional) A supported DS flashcard
|
|
|
|
{% capture flashcards %}
|
|
The recommended flashcards are the DSTT and Acekard 2i. If you want perfect game compatibility, get the SuperCard DSTWO / DSTWO PLUS. The only downside is that it drains your system battery faster.
|
|
|
|
If you have a flashcard that works with Apache Thunder's NTR Launcher, feel free to request it [on the GBAtemp thread](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-forwarder-cias-for-your-home-menu.426174/). Be sure to specify which build you're using (Normal or Alt), and if `RESETSLOT1` is set to `0` or `1` in `sd:/nds/ntr_launcher.ini`.

### Part 1: Getting Started
|
|
{% capture tab-sd-card %}
|
|
1. Download the [SD card forwarder pack](https://www.dropbox.com/s/k5uaa4jzbtkgm0z/DS%20Game%20Forwarder%20pack%20%283DS%20SD%20Card%29.7z?dl=0)
|
|
1. Extract the contents of the `for SD card root` folder to the root of your 3DS's SD card
|
|
|
|
After you extract the pack, you can edit `sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap.ini` and change the settings:
|
|
- `BOOST_CPU`: If set to 1, TWL clock speed is used, so lags begone
|
|
- `SOUND_FREQ`: If set to 1, sound will play at 48khz, instead of 32khz
|
|
{% endcapture%}
|
|
|
|

|
|
- [Acekard RPG](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2_1xHkEp2_6OHVuZEJwU1BKbEU/view?usp=sharing)
|
|

1. Extract the contents of the `for Slot-1 microSD` folder to the root of your flashcard's microSD card, and (if the folder exists) the contents of the `for 3DS SD card` folder to the root of your 3DS's SD card.
|
|
|
|
After you extract the pack for your card, you can edit `sd:/nds/ntr_forwarder.ini` to change the settings. This isn't possible for Acekard RPG, R4 DS, and R4i Gold RTS.
|
|
- `NTRCLOCK`: If set to `0` or <kbd class="face">A</kbd> is held, the DSi boot screen will appear instead of the normal DS splash, and TWL clock speed is used, so lags begone
|
|
- `DISABLEANIMATION`: If set to `1` or <kbd class="face">B</kbd> is held, the DS / DSi boot screen is skipped
|
|
- `HEALTHSAFETYMSG`: If set to `1`, the boot screen's health and safety message will appear on the bottom screen, otherwise the bottom screen stays white with no health and safety message

### Part 2: Getting the AP fix files from TWiLight Menu++
|
|
If you already have TWiLight Menu++, skip to the next section.
|
|
1. Download the latest `TWiLightMenu-3DS.7z` from the [release page](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases)
|
|
1. In the 7z file, go to `_nds/TWiLightMenu/`
|
|
1. Copy the `apfix` folder to `sd:/_nds/ntr-forwarder/` on your 3DS's SD card
|
|
|
|
### Part 3: Forwarder3-DS
|
|
1. Open `Forwarder3DS.jar`
|
|
- If it doesn't open, make a new text file in the same folder as Forwarder3DS.jar containing `java -jar Forwarder3DS.jar` and save it as `Forwarder3DS.bat` and run that (make sure there is no `.txt` at the end)
|
|
1. Set your card as the `Target` on the left
|
|
- **NOTE:** If you don't see a list of cards, download [this zip](https://github.com/Olmectron/olmectron.github.io/archive/master.zip), and put the `forwarders` folder in the same folder as Forwarder3DS.jar, then rename it to `.forwarders`
|
|
1. Enable `Automatically set ROM path`
|
|
- **Linux users:** The automatic path is incorrect since it includes the entire path (e.g. `/media/$USER/something/`), please remove that part
|
|
- **MacOS users:** The automatic path is incorrect since it includes `/Volumes/(cardname)/` at the start, please remove that part
|
|
1. Click the folder in the top right and select the ROMs you want to make forwarders for or drag and drop them onto the window
|
|
- **NOTE:** The ROMs must already be on your SD card when selecting them, and can't be moved without recreating the forwarders
|
|
- **SD card users:** If your save file is in the same folder as the ROM, move it to a folder called `saves`, with the `saves` folder being in the same place as the ROMs
|
|
1. If you're playing a hack / translation of a DSi-Enhanced game that has it's banner / title edited, find the banner for the game from [here](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/igr47pr0q5bh4p5/AAA9Dy8VOGfBLUA6KdLDSDW-a?dl=0), right click on the game in Forwarder3-DS, click `Import banner`, and click on the banner to use
|
|
1. If using a homebrew ROM, click on it, then clear the `Game title` and type the game's title
|
|
1. Click the floppy disk button to generate the forwarder CIA(s)
|
|
1. Copy the CIA(s) to your 3DS's SD card, then install them using FBI
|
|
- If using EmuNAND, install to both SysNAND and EmuNAND
