Mod edit:

The creator of DBI has threatened to place malicious code into his programs in the future to target English speakers

I would be hesitant to use DBI for any purpose going forward

----------

As the current releases of DBI are in Russian (I respect the authors decision in this) I tried to translate the, for me, most used menus in English
I combined several OCR, translate websites and the DBI 6.58 (last) English menu so here is my attempt in translation:

Главное меню                    Main Menu
============                    =========
Просмотр SD карты                Browse SD card

Установка через DBIbackend        Install title from DBIbackend

I could not find any translation attempts on this forum so I think I will share this.
Post based on DBI 700

'Unofficial' repository of DBI with also translated menu's;

Minor edits based on suggestions, thanks!

• thanks. been using google translate live cam translation feature, it did the trick.
• it's DBI 700, not 7.00

Убрать фейковые тайтлы в конец списка Remove fake titles to the end of the list

It's more like 'Put all the fake TIDs into the end of the list' I guess.

I tried many translators but could get it better myself. But I guess you are right. Will change, thanks!

So what is the point of having it only in Russian? I saw that the author has basically retired from the project but is still pumping out updates? Just kinda inconvenient when there is no source. Could easily translate and build it ourselves.

It's weird, git page is deserted, but russian new builds float around the russian forums, and there some noticeable changes. I don't really like the cyrillic font, but I rarely do. It's too nuanced to get right most of the time.

 

[ber71]

Are these strings inlined into the binary, so a patch could be made? Or is it obfuscated?

 

[grimson]

Total bullshit. I am not pro-Z, I am Russian. Also, if I have hate, I'll just brick western consoles.

Hey Duckbill and others,

Maybe out of self-interest (I like to use DBI) but also out of spite, I do think there is so much negativity sometimes floating around against you. I guess people should be grateful for homebrewed applications which serve us best in class.

I really despise the atrocities coming down with Putin, but I don’t know you and guess you don’t have any say in stopping this at all. For all I care and know you are 'just' Russian. I remember ‘Near,’ a famed emulator developer who committed suicide because of (ok, I think maybe a lot more) harassment, and people don’t know the real impact of this (or worse, don’t care).

Think of this: we are not entitled to anything of other people’s work. I’m just grateful people are developing such homebrew so we can use this. Also mind the personal impact on such negativity, I think I would feel bad even from 'just some forum' posts.

Even if DBI is 'released' indirectly and there isn't any English menu anymore, I think I can see why to be honest.

What the fuck does any of this have to do with a Nintendo Switch homebrew program?

It struck me that there is more noise around Duckbill than his DBI program when mentioned. Just reading the replies from this post, and it proves my point I guess?

 

[spkatsi]

Is this just a reference translation or I missed a download link ?

Just reference

 

[Deetlemore]

Out of curiosity, are there any notable bugfixes when compared to the last English version? The only one that stood out to me was the one regarding save backups (scary to think my JKSV backups may not be 100% reliable).

So if Github is not hosting the latest releases then where do we download them from?

 

[ikynx]

from here, since there is a user that kindly goes fishing for the russian-only version on some russian board and exposes it to the rest of the world available to download on gbatemp. Yet, the dev of DBI is here and replies in english. Go figure.

 

[CMDreamer]

Time to learn Russian.

 

[Asia81]

I suppose it's not open-source ?
Because it could be easily forked and translated.

 

[DPyro]

Is there a way to modify nro's?

 

[MrVtR]

Is there a way to modify nro's?

Maybe decompiling to assembly and changing the binary itself, but I think it's extremely hard to do this and probably a disrespect to the creator too
