Homebrew [Release] tickCRYPT: Easily transfer DSiWare from one console to another!

[dpad_5678]

tickCRYPT is a small little script that I've been working on that does what the title says: allows you to easily transfer DSiWare from one console to another!

tickCRYPT will decrypt all tickets from one console, and re-encrypt them for another! All done automatically!
This is also useful if you find a NAND backup online (and you know the ConsoleID and CID) with DSiWare titles that you'd like to "borrow" over to your own system.

Version 2.0: tickCRYPT 2.0 introduces automatic title and ticket copying! No more copying title folders and ticket (.tik files)!

How To Use It:

1. Download the latest release of tickCRYPT below and extract the ZIP file
2. Mount both DSi NAND's using OSFMount
3. Add each ConsoleID to the sourceDSi_ConsoleID.txt and targetDSi_ConsoleID.txt files respectively, replacing the sample XXXX's.
4. Run tickCRYPT.bat, follow the prompts, and wait.
5. Re-encrypt the target DSi's NAND, and you're done! All titles should appear on your system menu.

Spoiler: Old Instructions

1. Download the latest release of tickCRYPT below and extract the ZIP file
2. Mount both DSi NAND's using OSFMount
3. Copy all .tik files from the source DSi's NAND:\ticket\00030004\ folder to the "input" folder
4. Add each ConsoleID to the sourceDSi_ConsoleID.txt and targetDSi_ConsoleID.txt files respectively, replacing the sample 1234567812345678.
5. Run tickCRYPT.bat and wait.
6. Copy all .tik files from the "output" folder to the target DSi's NAND:\ticket\00030004\ folder.
7. Copy all folders from the source DSi's NAND:\title\00030004\ folder to the target DSi's DSi's NAND:\title\00030004\ folder
8. Re-encrypt the target DSi's NAND, and you're done! All titles should appear on your system menu.

Note: TWLtool, included in this archive, is made by @WulfyStylez, not me!

Cool script. thanks!

Excellent i only have 4swrods :'v but if there is someone NAND with many things it will be very useful tahnks

I'm sure new DSiWare-filled NAND backups will start to appear online since the leak of ugopwn and the upcoming release of the official FlipnoteHax and possible DSiBrowserHax.

They still sell DSiWare on the eShop. If I recall correctly, there is a way to copy them from a Nintendo 3DS to a Nintendo DSi.

Only dsi->3ds with official tools; BTW, I remember that someone was creating a new dsiware archive format for use with rocket launcher...

@Robz8 said something about a TIA. Like a CIA, but for TWL systems.

Great script.It seem enought simple to convert it to bash (linux,macosx) .
But the problem is if i have a 3ds where i wanna extract dsiware titles to a NAND backup? i dont know how found console ID on 3ds nor correct nand backup.
Fwtool does not work fine on 3ds,it create the bios but create a wrong nand backup,CID file...

I have tried several the other tutorial i saw here but i was unable to could play my dsiware titles on no$gba :/ (i must explain than i have to use twltool on linux because it doesnt work on my pc with windows and i dont know why :/)

You mean..a TAD? That's already a thing. No tools for making them yet, but they exist.

No,TIA files are a kind of format for dsiware which let install them on sdcard without the need of install on the nand.
(NOTE: you can see the first freely tia file on the latest SRLauncher )

Could you share it with me ? :'v. This way is faster than picking 1 by 1 and changin the whole archives by hand :'v

Kid, how else can you get DSiWare titles on a DSi/XL without pirating them? Next.

As a mighty Kai once said!

TIA is essentially like a packaged srl, tmd, and tik (maybe a couple other things) that a automated program for Windows will push to the right folders on the sd card for HiyaCFW.

Pirating the GBC version of Shantae is still piracy. Even though it's as rare as it is. And you could, you know, just list it as a tool for transferring titles and not mention the "borrowing" games thing?

This thread was not created to discuss the ethics of piracy. If you have nothing worthwhile to say, don't even bother replying. I have yet to see you make useful scripts like the OP has. Good work OP!
