Hacking [Help] Dumping NDS ROM without ftp?

[IceShadowX]

I have a few games I've got really far on (Such as LoZhantom Hourglass) and would like to dump them to use on my DSTT, however, I've only seen the ftp/Wi-Fi way of dumping them. Is there a piece of hardware I could buy to do this via usb, or another interface?
Also, I've heard there's a way of importing a ROM/Backup .sav file into a genuine cartridge... E.g If I completed LoZH on my TT and wanted to put it back into the original game, how would I do that? Is there a Homebrew app for that?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Well there is, I use it, it is called NDS_Backup_tool_3in1.nds, and I believe it is one of rudolphs tools (don't quote me on that though). Still you need a ezflash 3 in 1 for it to work (or wifi).

at like i said in another thread, its rediculously hard to do because of the restrictions nintendo puts on its system. I spent 5 hours trying to get it to work with a buddy, and we are both tech savvy. we followed the instructions and there wasnt even a connection. biggest wast of time. this is easy. plug it in and your set to go.

You mean with wifi? dunno 'bout that, I use the 3in1 mode and that's very easy.

I have one of those and it does not dump the rom. It only backs up the save. And yes I was annoyed when I figured that out.

The easiest way to dump ROMs is with a slot-2 device. I'd recommend buying an EZ-Flash IV, and using Rudolph's Slot-2 NDS Backup Tool. The interface is similar to the Wi-Fi tool, but it copies the ROM to your microSD instead (much faster, too).

And yeah, the NDS Backup Adapter USB device only backs up the save data.

ya except you can download the same game online and use the the .sav from the legit cart. So dumping the game doesnt matter, all that matters is the .sav

Thats illegal.

Only if you never bought the game to begin with...technically....

No, it's still illegal.

And @ the guy who said he spent more than 5 hours trying to connect, you do know it doesn't work on a DSi...right?

It's really not, actually.

Copyright laws allow you to have a backup of any media.

Downloading a rom of a game is legal if you already have the physical game. So, dumping the .sav and downloading the rom, is completely legal.

Under section 117, you or someone you authorize may make a copy of an original computer program if:

* the new copy is being made for archival (i.e., backup) purposes only;
* you are the legal owner of the copy; and
* any copy made for archival purposes is either destroyed, or transferred with the original copy, once the original copy is sold, given away, or otherwise transferred.

Isn't it legal to copy computer and video games as a backup as long as you own a legitimate copy?

U.S. Copyright laws permit making a "backup" copy of computer programs for archival purposes. However, the right to make backup copies of computer programs for archival purposes, as embodied in 17 U.S.C. Section 117(2), does not in any way authorize the owner of a copy of a video or computer game to post or download a copy of that game to or from the Internet or make such copy available to other people for their use. Section 117(2) only gives the owner of the copy a right to make an archival copy of the actual copy that he/she legally possesses, not to make a copy of the ROM that someone else legally possesses, nor to post an archival copy of his/her original copy for distribution. The law clearly does NOT provide any right to sell "backup" copies. In fact, Section 117 is quite explicit in stating that any archival copy prepared under Section 117(2) can only be transferred to another person if, and only if: A) The original copy is also transferred, and only with the authorization of the copyright owner, and B) The transfer is part of the sale of all rights in the program.

Exactly. And I OWN THE GAMES. ALSO, I asked MANY, MANY times whether or not it worked with DSi. NOBODY responded. So thanks for that.

I was responding to the guy I quoted.
