theres a guide that exists (one i linked) that shows you how to do this. i was too lazy to edit like 48 files tho. so i decided to make this. most of the more needed stuff was made by larsenv (hex editing with python and stuff) i just made some batch stuff.

 

Interesting! Python 2 or 3 required?

 

Oh, I meant, which one of 2 vs 3? or any of the two doesn't matter?

 

can some dsiware titles just not be installed onto a dsi?

some titles tend to freeze up the emulator if installed.

 

heres my specific question that i need answered:
if a ticket is invalid and a dsi app is installed. will it boot to "an error has occured" or just not show the title
im asking that not if a ticket doesnt exist. but if its invalid.
say if theres 1 byte too short or if a value was put in a different place.

 

If you have CFW, the game will work. You have to check the compatibility list though. Not all games will work. Honestly? It's not worth it to play most DS games on the 3DS via TWLoader. They've made tremendous progress with it, but unfortunately stupid Nintendo designed it so its limited to that NAND. It's so unstable. I ended up buying a R4 from that site that advertises here. Kek. I guess ads work.

 

Kudos to you if you can make it work. The file systems are completely different, so it's tough to get them running right unless they sit down and comb out the issues. Otherwise, Nintendo would have just released all DS games on the eshop (aside from the rights-related issues). It would have made them a lot more money.

But it's kind of like XBox One's backwards compatibility program. It's possible to get stuff running, but software engineers just have to get the kinks worked out. And that takes time and time is money.
It still would have been amazing to have all DS games released for 3DS. I wonder how much more money they would have made?

 

working on making it first delete the .app store for dsiware in nand and then copy the files. that way multiple .app files wont exist.

 

the .app files were corrupt:
progress is being made and fast:

now i just need to figure out how much space is free so i can know how much i can copy

because if too much is copied "an error has occured" happens. this shouldnt be too hard tho. i might add in a selection thing too.

heres an updated archive if you wish to test it out. (id reccomend against using it to install the files to nand after its done as xcopy ignores filesize limits) also if you would like to inject your tickets heres a script to make encrypting faster:

Code:

@echo off
cls
Color 0A
title encrypt tickets

cd ticket
for /D %%A IN ("*") DO (
  cd %%A
    for /F %%B IN ('dir /b *.tik') DO (
      :: change to your console id
      ..\..\twltool syscrypt --consoleid <console id> --in %%B --out <drive letter of dsi nand mount>:\ticket\%%A\%%B --encrypt
    )
  )
  cd ..
)
cd ..
pause
