Hello Dr1ft, I have a doubt and it is that when I put the .bin to the program, nothing happens apart from other .bin files are created. How can I solve it? I would be very grateful.

This is all I get when running that, any idea?

Edit: Compiled fwunpack.exe on my own and the first exception disappeared. The second one still persists…

If this is a .NET executable, don't run it with WINE, run it with Mono directly instead, see if it works better that way.

Actually if you do have the true OEM firmware. Then communicate that to somebody like me for example. Of course you would send it and document format. It's protected and it's original form. So obviously you know you would have a separate text file. Indicating what the actual file extension not to use cuz then it would actually violate copyright. Anyhow I had three things I wanted to do with the original firmware on my device. In which I would need the entire firmware to work with to debug and all that. Of course it would be done in VMware and I will be visiting a country that doesn't have issues with copyright. They do not recognize copyright. Anyhow for your end I wouldn't mind seeing a star doc of the firmware. You can link it to me. You know in a direct message. Hopefully I'm signed in here. Anyhow I want to add a SDR-rtl program for Nintendo DS. Also take my NT developer can't that I acquired as a developer. And was thinking about putting Windows XP mini. Changing the GUI of the device I own which is Nintendo DS. Sorry about writing so much so hopefully there is more updates on this topic here. I just noticed that there's an arrow pointing the two and three are updates and not going back in time but I shall see. So if you are interested or want more clarification cuz I'm trying to be somewhere in the middle here. You have my permission to inbox me

So this is something that's to be ran on Linux I assume? Well how is it on Apple? I have heard complaints about people trying to mod on Apple. But again I'm not sure what version of iOS they were running is that what it's called when it's on the computer like a laptop? Or os actually? So my bottom line question is this. Is there access to the full firmware for a Nintendo DS or 3DS? As you can tell I prefer not to simulate like they do in the videos on YouTube. I think I'm going to steer away from the windows idea I made a very long post before. But I want to work on getting an SDR RTL dongle to run on DS. Straight from the menu. Perhaps I do not need the full firmware? Or is there ways to do this and still get the same outcome? I am 100% a newbie when it comes to modifying a DS as far as Homebrew is concerned. So any input id very happy to learn what others have to say. I'm sure I can do all this much more easier with the available. BIN files and run it on me device like the Android. But that would just eat my whole cause and purpose. Any suggestions or links would be awesome! Thank you for taking the time to read my poster and responding 👍
PS I just wanted to quickly add that I've seen people get YouTube and a browser to run flawlessly recently. Unaware if it's in the Homebrew repository on wiki or whatever it is that.

One detail I think is worth mentioning is that it does not extract the NDS well with firmware that has Flashme.
