I love how its so simple to install 3ds games but not nds

Not one to comment or like tech walkthroughs like this, but your attention to detail in preparation, the concise delivery of instructions, and the clearly illustrated points to look for really made this one stand out. Thank you because this was the clearest, easiest answer to the question I've gotten.

Reminder to make a backup of the game in checkpoint before you dump it so u can get ur progress back

[Fe_Mikey]

Seriously man thank you! My Samus Returns cartridge I got at a pawn shop works but it’s faulty at the same time and couldn’t continue the game much, this helped out a lot! Thanks again!

Dude I do really thank you, I tried a lot of things to play both zeldas nds on my 3ds, and nothings worked, you're a God, subscribed for sure :D

[JustSomeGuy]

i converted my entire 3DS game collection (about 600 games) to my 3DS on a 256gb sd card thanks sthetix

[TuncayAyhan]

Dude, you have perfect tutorials and nice looking video's. Thank you for your contribution.

Do the saves from the NDS files get transferred in the cart dump? I dumped my animal crossing wild world NDS file using this method. But when I loaded up the ROM into my DS emulator, my wild world save file was not saved and registered as a new file. When I load up the NDS cart in my 3DS, my original town save is there. Is there a way to transfer all the data from my save to the ROM and not have it start from scratch?

its really nice how you talk slowly instead of otter people who rush there videos

Very useful! This should make it a lot easier to play on Citra and not accidentally install some virus.

I'm stuck with a black and white screen. I don't know where the roms are supposed to be left and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with rewatching this guide.
EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. Both the nds and cia files had different file names so I made them both identical. Now it works. Thank you so much for helping me with this video.

Pretty good video. Now I can play my old Pókemon Pearl and erasing my savegames the times I want (without needing backup and restore). Thank you so much :)

[motivation-mindset]

Your 3ds Guides are very useful! Keep up the great work! But could you make a video about how to restore the NAND from a backup?

I was about to spend money on a r4 card just to play 1 DS game on 3DS then. You helped me save a couple of bucks right there 🤣

I ran into a couple problems with this while trying to dump a copy of one of my DS cartridges onto my cfw 2ds. I kept getting a "cartridge not inserted" error. I figured out this was a result of two issues.
The first one is that you need to find the "_nds" folder he references but appears to have vanished from the links in his description. You can find them if you do a web search for "nds forwarder" and go to the latest gbatemp page. Scroll down, and you will find it discretely embedded in a section below all the main links. It simply says "download THIS" and no longer resembles the link he shows in the video. So read carefully and you'll find it.
Secondly after downloading and extracting the "_nds" folder to the sd card, the second issue I ran into was that the forwarder needs to be set to a Target of "3DS SD Card". He doesn't highlight the importance of this setting for members using sd cards, but the forwarder program appeared to be set by default to "r4". So I suggest double checking to make sure the app is set to "Target - 3DS SD Card".
Overall a great tutorial but things have clearly changed a bit since he posted this. Hopefully my input will help someone else in need.

Bit of a weird question, how would you get your existing save data over (namely Nintendo 3DS) on the cartridge to your console?
