    Hacking Official Vesta Thread

    Version 2 has been previewed in the first post of this thread. Slight problem, to include .7z functions I have to use a DLL making it a windows dependant program. The uniqueness of the project is still that it is open source but I would like to keep the program cross platform compatable. It is...

    Hacking Official Vesta Thread

    I started another thread talking about NDS Management software that I was going to write. From this, the initial project idea developed into an open source project written in a development environment known as Lazarus. The main concept of Lazarus is Write Once, Compile Anywhere. The Lazarus...

    Hacking NDSTokyoTrim

    I think the problem I was having was with the ROMS i was using! As you said, some have the code already stored inside it and not at the end, I only have one Rom that I was testing my program against that actually has this wifi data at the end and so the others roms which I also thought had it...

    Hacking NDSTokyoTrim

    Two coders that think alike! I use records too! and I've used a very similar approach to detecting wifi, but it still seems to be giving errors. I will look through my code and compare it to yours to see what I'm doing wrong Thanks!!

    That's the thing, the data after the rom is all FF on the wifi game, this means it uses that doesn't it? otherwise it would be 00

    Hacking NDSTokyoTrim

    Game Carts come in block sizes say 16MB 32 MB etc. if a game is 12MB it is put onto a 16MB cart and padded with extra usless data to make it 16MB. You can normally take the extra info out without a problem. However, some wifi games need this extra space to work. From my tests, TokyoTrim (which...

    Hacking NDSTokyoTrim

    Hi, I don't mean to upset anyone with what I'm about to say. I've been looking into how the NDS files work, especially trimming. I know that in the header of the NDS file the size of the ROM is located. I then got a game I know uses Wi-Fi and compared a normal non-trimmed version to a Trimmed...

    Hacking Trimmer wifi help!

    Hi, I am writing a cross platform opensource program for easy managements of NDS Roms. I have written a trimming algorythm into it. So far it adds an extra 136 bytes of data to the end of the rom size specified in the header. The only problem is that I want to be able to detect if a game is wifi...

    Hacking NDS Management Software

    Well I think I have thrashed it all out now. What I've decided to do is release it as OpenSource as it will allow people to compile it for the system they are using. The outputted files will be large at first but there is a way to strip down the size which I will talk about once we have it...

    Hacking NDS Management Software

    Thanks for all the replys! I've managed to code in the icon viewing and name extraction and I'm hoping to put in trimming now. Any idea how the 4 bytes point to the end of the rom? is it an offset like the palette and icon data? source code would be greatly appreciated. The direction my program...

    Hacking NDS Management Software

    Well I'm going to be writing the software in a program called Lazarus which, to sum up, is a program that is very similar to the Delphi IDE and uses the same object orientated code but the code can be compiled on any computer than runs lazarus, without any modification to the code. So far the...

    Hacking NDS Management Software

    Hi, I have recently bought a cylcods card, before about two weeks ago I never knew any of this existed!. It got me really keen on my DS again. I looked and looked and could never find any programs to manage NDS files how I wanted it to, they were either not what I expected or written specfically...
