Gaming a tool to make converting dsiware from 3ds to dsi easier

very nice

im plan to work on a way to have them display as titles and allow you to choose which ones to copy sometime sooner or later

im unsure who this would help. but for me i enjoy not having to hexedit 48 files and rename like 24 .app files. so this makes easier for me at least. but who knows maybe someone else will enjoy.

also i'd update the archive on the post but chrome detects the more options page as "cross site scripting" so rip #justgbatempthings

so i found out how to get the size of a directory:

now i need to figure out how to tell how much free space is on a drive

Is it possible to edit dsiware roms yet?

Awesome!

I've looked at a few japan only dsiware games for a potential fan translation but the hash checks ( or whatever it does to the nitrofs) prevented anything like that.

Frick, this is really cool. Has the restore-to-real-DSi-hardware part been tested yet? Someone actually bricked their system while trying to inject EASudoku into their NAND, and then restoring it (even though it was probably user error, no offense to the user).

i would reccommend testing the modified nand in no$gba before restoring. also now i have a way to make sure that the size of the dsiware isnt too big for the dsi nand:

That's the lesson I learned the hard way.

Wow, safety checks already? Awesome. I thought I was good at making bat scripts lol. I'll definitely be trying this when I get home from vacation.

most the safety checks are from me fucking up xD (i nuked my nand backups everything a directory up and also i kept getting an error has occured due to full nand)

also: i would advise highly. not to edit anything while this is running. if a directory is gone halfway through it tends to move up a directory. i plan on adding code change to check for ..\start.bat if it wants to move up (i learned this the hard way that it messes up if edited while running.) keep in mind this is mostly only a PoC at the moment.

Well I'm bricked so I could really care less lmao

for the most part noone will ever encounter this issue as its rare. but i plan to fix it anyway. and rip. i bricked my old dsi trying to hardmod once

Have you hardmodded one successfully?

yea. its how i got my 1.4.5 dsi xl downgraded. see: https://gbatemp.net/threads/dsi-version-data.479640/

okay having some difficulties with the check code ( for loops are evil :< ) so youll have to manually copy which titles you want for now.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

as i have no real way to check how much space there is atm.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

inside a for loop that is. outside of it it works as expected.

ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy:

it does everything twice but im working on it.
