Hi all,
this is my first question here, so bear with me. I've spent last few days trying to find some information and I am unable to find the correct usage.
The site on gamebrew NDSForwarder_3DS states:

Custom dsiware banners​

  • They must be named the same as the nds file.
  • If your nds file is Jamal's Home Cooking.nds your custom banner should be Jamal's Home Cooking.bin.
  • Custom banners can be located with the nds file or in /3ds/forwarder/banners/.

Custom Icons​

  • They must be 4bit BMPs, 32x32 pixels and be named the same as the nds file.
  • If your nds file is Jamal's Home Cooking.nds your custom icon should be Jamal's Home Cooking.bmp.
  • No Colorspace info (compatibility options when exporting in GIMP).
  • Color at index 0 will be transparent/white.
  • Custom icons can be located with the nds file or in /3ds/forwarder/icons/.
But, I am unable to install the game with banners and icons. I have the following files:
'Legend of Zelda, The - Phantom Hourglass (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).bin'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Phantom Hourglass (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).bmp'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Phantom Hourglass (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).nds'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Spirit Tracks (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (Rev 1).bin'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Spirit Tracks (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (Rev 1).bmp'
'Legend of Zelda, The - Spirit Tracks (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (Rev 1).nds'
I've also tried to put the files in their respective folders but it did not help.
/3ds/forwarder/banners/
/3ds/forwarder/icons/
Is this method even working?

    Some CRTs are very much worth the price
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
