[zoogie]

It's been a while since this was updated. Any news on it?

@neobrain said on irc he's thinking about cleaning up the source and releasing it. Soon(tm).

Nice! I hadn't really been around here for a while so I was just making sure it wasn't dead or on hiatus.

 

[neobrain]

Update when??
When it's done. And yes, it will be.

 

[ghastlyglamour]

ah, it says "can not open file as archive" when i try to extract it into my 3ds folder?

you are trying "braindump.7z" from https://github.com/neobrain/braindump/releases are you? I'm guessing you can't open the .7z file. if you are using Windows you should check out 7-Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

 

[ghastlyglamour]

@ihaveamac i actually am using 7-zip for this, i'm not quite sure why it isn't working ;_;

try downloading braindump.7z again

 

[ghastlyglamour]

@ihaveamac same result. anyone else having this issue, or am i the only one?

you're probably trying to open the 3dsx as an archive? I don't know any other way to read the error message. click "Extract" at the top. remember you need both the 3dsx and xml to use braindump.

@ihaveamac turns out i was doing that, thank you for correcting me however, it lead me straight back into a circle. braindump is still just sitting there as a... .3dsx file, still questioning how i want to open it when i click on it. i'll try it again

it's a program you run on the 3DS.

@ihaveamac oh alright! sorry for my stupidity aha, i'm just now getting into the scene of all of this. i have to wonder though, is all of this necessary for simply recoloring a model? it's an awful lot of work.

yes...you need homebrew to get your hacked files running.

This doesn't need an update. Perfect as it is now.

FUTURE PLANS
There's a lot more to come in braindump than just dumping ExeFS and RomFS. Stay tuned, I guess

So there wont be more features? I'm confused

I don't know. For me, it's no problem if it dumps both. It just takes a little more time.

Yo guys! Would anyone happen to be here at CCC (Hamburg, Germany) and be willing to lend me his 3DS for some braindump work?

Not exactly at CCC, just a couple kilometers away from Hamburg, heh. If I had the time (and money for a ticket) I'd think about it.
