-ARDS Firmware Tool-
ARDS Firmware Tool is an all-in-one tool meant for regular users and developers alike to edit, extract and create NTRBoot compatible firmware files for the Action Replay DS/EZ/Media Edition/DSi. You don't need to patch Code Manager to flash firmware files generated with this tool, as it automatically calculates the correct checksum for them! Not only that, but generated files also tend to be very small as everything that's not needed is trimmed away (the file size of a firmware containing Boot9Strap v1.3 is only 62kb, less than a third of the size of the previous implementation!)
The tool also brings lots of other improvements to the table, such as the ability to super easy NTRBoot firmware generation for those of you following the guide, a function to inject your own NTRBoot compatible FIRMs (such as Godmode9),NTRBoot support for both retail and devkit consoles (the previous implementation for ARDS only worked on retail units) and an easier way to install NTRBoot on an ARDS Media Edition without a flashcart, aswell as a method to fully restore it afterwards. There are also a lot of other functions intended for devs and power users, as well as detailed guides in the readme.
See the Github page or the Readme file for a list of what this tool can do, as well as the guides and a list of FAQs.
