Hi.
Can some one help me to edit header of akmenu4.nds (acekard firmware)
There is a two lines of text with www.acekard.com and I want to put my text.
I tried NDS Header Tool but it doesn't see it.

Regards.

Huh why would you want to put something on the header of acekard menu?
Trying to impress your dumbass friends? or trying to evade someone from learning too much?
Just curious...

Don't know much about the AceKard, at all.

You could possibly try and hex edit it or edit the .ini file (if there is one).

Other than that I doubt that there's much you can do.

All that is in the header is the offset to the titles (there should be repeats for many languages, probably in unicode.) If I recall correctly, it is this one:
http://nocash.emubase.de/gbatek.htm#dscartridgeheader
Code:
068hÂÂÂÂ4ÂÂÂÂ Icon_title_offset (0=None) (8000h and up)

By the way, the .nds file that is on your SD card isn't going to be what is going to show up in the DS's main menu. That header/data is usually either permanent or in a area that is not normally rewritten on most cards (and may not be modifiable, as a DS wouldn't boot the slot1 if it was modified incorrectly.) The akmenu4.nds's I just looked at don't seem to have titles/icons in them.

Well, I saw it on Youtube (not sure what card was that) and I tried to do it.
Lot of people don't know about headers, so it would amaze them

BTW. I tried Hex and there is no such string in the file.
So is it build in rom of the card??
Just curious...

You have to use a seperate program such as DSBuff

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
