Idea: add ability to install cia's from nds files.

[CarrotFarmering]

So, i have some Ds games on my sd card, but i cant install cia's from them. I tried installing the 1.9.3pre1 version, since it has dsi compatibility, but nope. Still can't.

You're mixing something up here. The 3DS can run DSiWare natively, as it was intended, from installed memory.

DS carts and DS cart dumps are not the same as DSiWare, and the 3DS can only run such titles from the cart slot natively. I could build a CIA from any kind of file actually, but it won't run. Try TwiLightMenu instead, it has become pretty good.

You could try forwarders.
