Hacking How to rename *.3DS ROMs like scene relese ?

[cearp]

Good to know, but I fail to see your point. Just because something's been around for ages doesn't mean I should automatically know about it, especially since I personally have no use for these tools.

But if you were saying this for my benefit and not to belittle me, then thank you!

wasn't it you who said something like who doesn't use terracopy? or something?

Most likely not, as I don't know what "terracopy" is.

ok

?? Why not use the "offline list" program with the 3ds dat file from advanscene.com?
It renames roms, does CRC check, duplicate filter and so on..

 

[Orkna]

Do you know how to only rename the existing .3ds-files with EvoCRC?
I can't stop it from zipping the roms..

 

[tbgtbg]

I use teracopy, but I have never assumed that anyone else uses it. They should though, it's a lot better than regular copy/move.

 

[Jayro]

Teracopy is just a no-brainer after a fresh install. Ninite.com and filehippo.com are my first stops to get my system up to snuff.

Dang. Sorry for the misinformation, i was quite sure the compression was optional. sorry -.-

NDSCRC/3DSCRC/EvoCRC can't rename without compressing.
That would be a good idea to add the trimming feature for 3DS games instead of compressing, it's making games about the same size (if not smaller) and it doesn't prevent CRC checking as trimmed bytes can be added back on the fly.

CRC Checker on trimmed files

(trimming Card2 might not be a good idea, or check if there's a save data first and back it up)

If someone is experienced with some coding, they could very easy make something that checks against www.srrdb.com.

They make it possible to search like this http://www.srrdb.com/browse/archive-crc:D464FF93/1

They also have some small JSON API like this
http://www.srrdb.com/api/search/archive-crc:D464FF93

I could write something to do this in PHP, but not for another 2 weeks. Hope it helps, best regards

No problem. I was looking for it and I was expecting it to be something you could select.
I can't find it in any of the other tools posted here either. Kinda strange, isn't it?
Sure, I could also be blind.

The only one i have success, is DS Organizer 6.10
The other one don't recognise my .rar file, neither *.3DS file in sub-directory...

Well, as those tools are all meant as collection managers it ain't that strange, especially as most of them came into existence in the days of unencrypted and thus most often better compressible roms. Especially when it came to packaging different releases of the same rom (region, versions, patched/modded) into a single archive, as most often only small parts of the roms were different, thus offering a high compression ratio.

But as EvoCRC ist actively maintained you can drop a ""no compression" feature request over at advanscene.

Alternatively you can set the compression level to zero, thus having to "copy" your roms twice in order to rename them (once for the rename/conversion to zip (no real compression going on at level 0), once for the "extraction").

Search and Sort being an automated process (as well as unpacking all the resulting zips) that would still be easier than renaming by hand.


edit: The roommate of the aunt [insert some more indirections here] of the fishmonger of my sisters piano teacher asked me to mention that some roms floating around on the web are overdumps that have a bunch of \r\n (windows style text line endings) at the end, thus messing up their crc32. So if one of the tools should fail to match some of your roms check their size and the file endings in an hexeditor, untrimmed 3ds roms should end at an +0xF offset, last values being 0xFF.

...None of these suggestions actually detect any 3DS ROMs even though allegedly supporting them.
I say "none", well tried a few, will now try DS Organizer 6.10 as suggested above, think that's a typo though as google is showing me 6.1.0.0....let's see

in DSOrganizer 6.1.0.0, just select :
1 --> "Add" "Standart Import"
2 --> "Queue" , "Queue" bouton and "Start Queue"

Wait ...long long long time !! (you can see log file)
It will copy all *.3DS and unrar/unzip all fille witch are in your ROMs Directory, into an other one with Good ID and Title !

I see. Thanks.
I know a dead persons sister that told me something about 2 roms not beeing identified. I will tell him to try the hexeditor-thingy.
