Homebrew How do I dump a DSiWare based CIA?

[CeeDee]

I just redeemed WarioWare Touched and would like to dump it for... "archival reasons"

Any way I could dump the .cia or at least .nds from it? Thanks!

Use godmode9 to find the .app file under emunand twln/title/00030004/<title id>/content/
and copy it to the sd card.

Then
make_cia --srl=game.app
and your done.

Doesn't make_cia only support 64 bit systems?

I really don't know but just getting the .app file is good enough for 'archival' reasons.

btw, if you don't know what the title id is then whichever .app file is > 16MB will be wario.

Not good enough for my "archival" needs.

Just run make cia and see what happens. Most 3ds tools are 32 bit i think.

Is there a way to take that .cia and run it on an emulator?

A DS emulator.

Just get an .nds and Desmume.

Up until recently there was no way to emulate DSiWare because there was no way to dump them. Now there is a way to dump them but I don't see any emulators that support 3ds cia dsiware.

But the game itself is literally the same as the DS version.

NO$GBA can run nds DSiWare.

 

[zoogie]

lol, it's dsiware and won't run on desmume. In fact, it whitescreens on no$gba dsi mode as well. (jpn version)

I can help turning it into cia, if you want.

The only one with a bigger-than-16MB file has 2 .apps, one is 27MB and one is 40KB.

Well there you go.

The 27MB file will do.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

 

[CeeDee]

Got it done!

Something interesting I noticed - I renamed the .app to .nds and opened it in Tinke and found a bunch of files identical to the original DS ROM. Someone look into it!

(left is DSi, right is NDS)

How is your archival going?
