How to add DS games to your 3DS Home Screen

[@GCB-2008]

Tysm. So much better than going into twilight every single time

[@danielsalus6108]

Been struggling with this issue for months, trying to find a tutorial I could understand in order to find a way to install those old but gold DS games. FINALLY. Thank you so, so much my dude.

[@BabyCCq]

I seriously have been struggling on this for so long and I came across your video did it in 5 minutes holy crap this is the best tutorial I’ve ever found THANK YOU

[@mousey7789]

Best and most straitforward video ive found on this. Subbed 👍

[@lunabug20]

this has got to be the best and easiest hacking tutorial ive ever used. tysm

[@MrThunderwing]

Thanks for this dude! I used a KZbin tutorial ages back to stick a load of NDS games on my home screen, but didn't save it. Just found out there was a DS Contra game and wanted to add it, but couldn't remember what to do and all I could find was tutorials for Twilight. NDS forwader! Easy when you know how, cheers mate.

[@tek03]

I bought a PSP, and then a Vita, only to realise that the 2DS I had the whole time sat in a drawer was the best option. So cool, homebrew community is awesome.

[@SlushiFoxEdits]

thank you, this is so muI appreciate this; it's far more convenient than having to go to the twilight menu repeatedly.

[@ronyho5678]

Thank you so much, it's great to access the game on home screen rather than through twilight. And the best part is even the save can use.

[@A.S.Bridges]

Dude this was so straightforward. Such a super helpful video, thanks so much!

[@ErianF]

My dude, thanks a loooot!!! Gen 2 is my favorite generation but I’ve never played Hearth Gold and now thanks to you I will!!!

[@Felixicity]

thanks so much! i had set this up for one game months ago and could NOT remember how in the world i did it

[@ErockOnTech]

Another great and useful tutorial! Keep it up bro 😎 💪 🔥

[@thewitchef]

Worked great for me. I already had the roms on and was just looking for a way to not go into Twilight. Thanks a lot!

[@frankmarinero6431]

Ty for this. Super easy to do! Thank you!

[@Play444Fun]

Thank you! Straight to the point, informative and helpful. You deserve a like and even a sub!

[@novvvae]

thank you so much! this tutorial was very helpful

[@Berry_Goosey]

This was a big help, thank you so much!

[@papertoad456]

Finally I really dislike pretty much everything about Twilight Menu

[@mikel.crakers2992]

Only one good thing about TM++ : the original R4 menu theme to bring back nostalgia (I'll stick with the forwarded versions though, much better)

[@jaredgath706]

What about don't you like? I think it'd great with the patches you can do.

[@legendaryshadow6428]

@@jaredgath706 heart gold on it keeps crashing making it unplayable. so I just wanna install the nds game file and run it natively on the 3ds so it wont crash.

[@fuqu7094]

@legendaryshadow6428 does that apply to any ds game? i really hated it on tm++ with crashes that took away the fun

[@maxinoise4507]

Simple and straightforward! ❤

[@marshymae]

Tysm! I was struggling to find a way to do this but you made it so simple :)

[@bdjjs0204]

Still works thanks

[@bruh8041]

Super helpful video, thanks!

[@muggcat]

now i can play my games with ease during my breaks at work :-)

[@xronyxnunez9226]

Amazing thanks 🙏🏻 10/10 it’s amazing 🤩

[@Orvis25]

Nice video. I hope you soon do one about running old light gun arcade games (CarnEvil, time crisis, etc) on wiiu.

[@VandGD]

Thank you! Now i can play brain age and read the 100 classic books at the same time

[@alecjohansen]

Awesome, thank you! Very easy

[@ZAZA_822]

Thanks a lot man! Now i can see my games

[@WeFightLikeWolves]

Great video! Side Question.. where did you find that dope retro wallpaper on your PC?

[@GibbsBro]

Quick and simple! Thank you!

[@Floating-Chicken]

when i tried to install Pokemon Black 2, it said failed, do you know how to fix it?

[@MsCutebow]

Awesome, Thank you so much ❤

[@LicanTempest]

Man, this aweosme! Thanks for the tutorial. Do you of there is a way to move the pokemon to home?

[@21stCenturyZayde]

Very helpful video, it works

[@bantoniow]

Thanks a lot dude!

[@Twistedsilvr]

Hey man! Easy enough tutorial, my question is where can I get the roms for my 3ds. I want a couple different 3ds games but don’t know where to get them.

[@Nationwide25]

Hshop

[@athomeforoncce]

a lot of the games i tried to installed failed.

[@Ghost-vt6xm]

Me too bro

[@stevenhernandez9142]

Try using another website for your Roms. That usually works for me.

[@s0lid_sno0ks]

it seems like some nds dont work. best thing to try is to get a different nds from a different source and see if it works. or use yanbf which is arguably a better forwarder than the one he shows.

[@Alfredo_Gonzalez64]

Where did you get the game files from? That could be why.

[@Alfredo_Gonzalez64]

Try vimms lair if you didn’t use it already

[@plagiarizedseaturtle]

Can you pls send where you installed the roms from?

[@luissgaming9286]

Where can I download the games so I can put them on my sd card? Like the files

[@jacobburrouhgs5593]

Could always buy one off etsy I got one for a PlayStation classic that came with huge about of ps1 games. could alway rip add to your pc. That way.

[@Jasbd3if]

​@@jacobburrouhgs5593 Thats by far the fastest method buy one of those 8 in 1 Handheld gaming consoles and RIP the games from the SD card

[@MamaChris1-]

I did everything you said, till i get to this part at 2:42, i get an arm 11 error code. Could the file be corrupt?

[@waterfox2110]

Will this work for fan games? I want to have Pokemon blaze black on my 3ds but im not sure how to do it

[@toonzelda3353]

It works tysm was able to get Pointcrow's Pokemon Platinum randomizer added :). Might also add in the phantom hourglass and spirit tracks games with c ctick support :).

[@MeDecade]

NDS games on the 3DS often have goofy icons for the games on the menu. It's the same on the Twilight menu. Just in case anyone has OCD, lol.

[@ven952]

is there a way to transfer save files too? tried booting up a game i already had progress on but it had no save file

[@papi20111000]

ty so much for the help you rock

[@gianlorenzocarfora4606]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU

[@scherfe8059]

Thanks for the Guide for Addict DS Games to 3Ds Home Screen which works perfectly Fine. Do you know if a added game can also be removed again and can explain maybe ?

[@BelowAverageGaming]

It can be removed, just delete it the same way you added it

[@ZDarkroom]

Is there specific versions of the game roms I should be aware of? I always hear about bricking the console if you have a specific update/ software version on your 3DS which makes me nervous.

[@vinatoskywalker3768]

Where did you downlaod heart gold from?

[@teejaystechtips]

I'm currently stuck at 2:17. I installed the nds forwarder through the universal updater app but it didn't show up in the homebrew launcher

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Uninstall it and then re install it? At the very worst it could be your SD card not being formatted correctly

[@teejaystechtips]

@@BelowAverageGaming weird I’ve downloaded other apps off of universal Updater. It just seems this one shows as downloading then as fully downloaded but doesn’t show up in the homebrew launcher. I’ll keep trying. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled a few times.

[@teejaystechtips]

@@BelowAverageGaming thank you so much for taking the time to help. I always love your videos

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Is your 3ds running the latest software and luma software?

[@teejaystechtips]

@@BelowAverageGaming it’s running 11.16.0-49 and does prompt me to update however I was having issues before the later update was released . Same problem I just revisited it now to see if I could fix it

[@secretarchives382]

everytime i try to install the narwhal it fails lol, any suggestions?

[@TheLazers8]

It may already be installed. Just skip to the next step

[@TuffleG]

It's under hombrew if you did everything prior to this video and followed a tutorial that's why it fails becuase you already have it

[@BllacRabbiit]

Nds narwal failed to install for me :(

[@P6057]

me to :(

[@error8877]

For some reason Pokémon White won't install, it says the installation is succesfull but the icon doesn't appear

[@Guxoanimatings]

I installed Super mario 64 DS and did every step right but when i enter the game it only shows a white screen

[@RandomlyIhaveYesIamtrying]

There actually is a limit. When it's put on the home screen, it turns into DSiWare, which is stored inside of system memory. Since system memory is limited, you can only store a few games.

[@mzzlmynizzl]

do they advert the user that the memory is full or something else ?

[@zer08914]

this is great, is it possible to do something like this for gba games?

[@datlofiguy]

everytime I install a game into the roms -> nds folder, I open up the same folder on NDS Forwarder and the game doesn't show up there. Any ideas as to why this is happenig?

[@qffaffafaffrafrfraf]

thank you

[@NookInAJar]

I have a question, do the games I add on here are considered "hacked" because I wanna transfer my pokemon from those games to my switch, but will it consider the pokemon "hacked?"

[@ZebSound]

Where do I find the save files if I am doing it like this. I need the save on PC

[@Basicman123Real]

Very simple, so simple even a dumb 14 yr old like me can understand it. thank you BAG!

[@PeixeDePeruca]

ótimo tutorial,vlw pela ajuda :D

[@lucioguzman49]

Your a god my friend thank you

[@ScottFeezel]

Where does the updater and forwarder go at on the sd card?

[@MisterLay00]

I don’t have a pc or universal update I’m trying to get it out of my DLC management or out of saved software titles. It’s still in my Downloadable Content section

[@VanitasYozora]

if you press the same buttons as rosalina ( L1 , down , select ) it opens the nds boostrap too ?

[@user-dq2ul4vb2p]

youre awesome for this. 🎉

[@Arthur-cq4ok]

Is there a way to have multiple forwards of the same base game? like renegade platinum and normal platinum?

[@Scuffedduck117]

Where did you find pokemon heartgold

[@AniProGuy]

Can I also use e.g. the download play option with these games? Or trade Pokémons etc.? 🤔

[@renown1301]

Thanks my friend

[@Adem-nl8pd]

Thanks man!

[@MidnightWhisper]

This was very helpful for a number of games, though I wonder--is there a way to do this with DSi games specifically? I tried this with Pokemon White, but it gave an error message about DSi enabled features and such.

[@kolbecutting8827]

Same

[@xninjawolfx]

I have save data on twilight menu is there a way to get that save data to Home Screen

[@BasementDweller_]

My question is is there a way to remove games from the menu?

[@samiscool8569]

do they have to have a virtual channel or can it be any ds game

[@MorningGlimmerLibrary]

does this create copies of it, or more like a shortcut?

[@DELTAF11B]

Can you download super mario central also

[@margottucker477]

I have followed this exact method many times but whenever I go into homebrew launcher>roms>nds, nothing shows up in the nds folder, even though I have added files to it. What can I do to fix this?

[@rydxnn]

how do you get the games to add to the 3ds? like the files to add to the folder to get the games.

[@KRDecade2009]

You have to mod your 3ds first

[@duckyfluff3886]

THANK YOU

[@teensonic1980]

None of my games that I have work,they’re on the Home Screen but I just get an error every time

[@backverse999]

appreciate it 🐐

[@leaaaa18]

is it still possible for the game to download on my 3ds when it says „gb data“ in the folder?

[@mitchellfresh]

Thanks heaps mate.

[@samuelcoelho7932]

Thank you bro

[@reyeskillshot]

What can I do if my rom straight up just doesn’t appear on my 3ds? I tried looking for it in twilight menu and the ds forwarder but my rom just doesn’t appear and when I look at the sd card in my computer it shows up?

[@handro7240]

Where do you found the copie of the pokemon games

[@Userr02794]

Is there a way to increase the amount of games I can have on the Home Screen ?

[@lynelmaster3853]

Hello id like to ask a question. When i use the nds forwarder and.play a game the nds bootstrap screen always comes before. How do i remove it to play the game instantly like it did in your video?

[@lRisinglPhoenixl]

is there an app like this for gba games? it doesnt work when i try to get pokemon pinball on my 3ds. DS games work for me though.

[@Puertoproblemas]

Could you connect that rom with pokemon battle revolution?

[@tyler10203]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@kaosapprentice]

I don't mind the no cheats part but the no wide-screen... Yeah I can't go back, twilight it is.

[@fezza6143]

Widescreen is where u hold the select button and it goes smaller right?

[@Castigaox]

Is it possible to patch it to widescreen with the forwarder? (I know i can with twilight)

[@quest_794]

one question. how about the saves i have? like, i ave castlevania dawn od sorrow and i did installed it on the menu of the 3ds but my saves for the game are not there? how do i import them?

[@zeroshadeslayer3000]

Question does trade work ?

[@endermodzoff.]

Did u know how to have the "DSI binairies" i have a message ; 'The DSi Binairies are Missing." of course i can launch the game but when i exit and reload the game the message reappear

[@jakedeangaming1072]

Can I do this with a phone
