    Hacking About CRC32 and Release List

    That is a very good idea. I will definitely use this. Thank you again. Do you know anything about trimming? I understand that you remove the 0x00s after an offset that is parsed from the ROM. But doesn't manipulating the ROM affect it's CRC32? I am asking this because if it does affect, then...

    Hacking About CRC32 and Release List

    I use a library that does the crc32 calculations and it works fine. The thing is, does the ROM itself includes a CRC32 in its header? Now that I think of it, maybe not. So what I am looking for now is mainly the covers of the games. Like RToolDS. Does this tool have a server of its own that...

    I need someone to verify if all of my following notes are correct: Step 1. According to this specification, the offset for the icon and titles information resides at the address 0x68 and is of length 4 bytes. In a random NDS ROM using a Hex Editor I get the following bytes: 00 E0 19 00...

    Hacking NDS ROM File Format

    Now that you mentioned it, does anybody here knows how is the color encoded? Is it the same as the GBA mode 3? 5 bits for each component and the last one is unused?

    Actually yes, there is the data of the color palette exactly after the image data. There are 16 colors of 16bit depth (32 bytes in total, 2 bytes each color). The first one is the transparent color.

    Hacking NDS ROM File Format

    ............... Wow! I'm absolutely blown away.... Only problem is, I have no idea how to split a byte into bits.. :S I am using Java.... I can do byte manipulation but not bit... I think it has something to do with shifting.... Which means I got a lot of reading to do right now... :/
