Hacking .3d0 and .3d1

[lamende]

How do I join the two together into .3ds to extract the header of a cart i just backed up?

 

[thorasgar]

Sounds like you have rar files. Get Winrar.

 

[HBK]

Get 7zip, it's free. WinRAR is shitty shareware that pops up an annoying message every time you want to extract a file.

Actually, those files are from the Gateway ROM Splitter. As for rejoining the files I don't recall seeing a way to do that, but I'm sure someone here or on Maxconsole will be able to answer your question.

 

[JaapDaniels]

i think http://www.hjsplit.org/ would do fine

 

[VerseHell]

Put the 2 parts in the same folder, hold SHIFT, right click on the folder, choose open a cmd line here then type

 copy /b romname.3d0 + romname.3d1 romname.3dz

 

[lukas_2511]

Or on Linux, OSX, and other unix-like systems:

cat romname.3d0 romname.3d1 > romname.3dz

I think there is a software that does just that: Join together split 3d0-3d1 ROMs, although I don't remember what it was.
Let me look for it.

Perhaps this might help in the meanwhile:

i don't think gateway uses a new consept, file splitter is first used bij snes copyboxes, and joint togather by sfctools for as far as i know, hj splitter is an overal splitter and joiner, it worked for snes, n64, iso's wii games and gc games, pretty sure it'll be what you need

This converter now supports .3d0/.3d1 files merging, along many other features.

Get a crack and WinRAR will never do any such thing. And if you're downloading 3DS games, I doubt you're adverse to cracking shareware. But in any event, it blows 7zip out the water.

I actually have full WinRAR and I just let it collect dust. I prefer 7zip all the way.
What do you like about that old, legacy, MS-DOS nostalgia grade (there along with ARJ) compressor with a paint job?

 

[sarkwalvein]

It's fast, and it extracts and compresses every format I ever need to use with it.

7-Zip also extracts almost every format, and regarding compression why using the closed RAR5 format when you can use the open LZMA to backup your files.
Anyway WinRAR is fast, I can't say anything against that.

 

[lamende]

Yeah, just did cmd and it worked, Thank you all!

Or on Linux, OSX, and other unix-like systems:

cat romname.3d0 romname.3d1 > romname.3dz

Lol pain in the ass to figure out, but it works lol

Just do it in old plain CMD windows if you have windows 7/8/8.1 (or older, or when i learned it, good old DOS)

Echo off
cls
copy /b "%1" + "%2" joined.3ds
pause

- Put this in a batch file (join.bat, or whatever you like to have it named)
- place it in the folder with the .3d0 and .3d1 files
- run it as "join file.3d0 file.3d1" (without the quotes)
- Now you have a file called joined.3ds, rename it to your dumped title (for example) Pokemon X (E).3ds

That's it

7zip is way superior to WinRAR in features, look, and functionality.

And yet, it's perfectly fine to use WinRAR since it gets the job done exactly the same way
