Hacking Convert .NDS to .CIA

[Olmectron]

As some people said in the first page, you can already convert a NDS game file to CIA file, and install it. Use make_cia.

What will happen when you launch it, though? Nothing. It won't work if you don't have the game's official card inserted in SLOT-1,

So how was people dumping NDS roms before 3ds? A rom copier for nds cartridges like the powersaves dongle?

And to add to what I said previously: "Without a computer + homemade hardware"

using an R4 card and DSoriginal/lite you can dump .nds roms with some homebrew i think it was called NDS backup tool
