N5DS uses a different encryption algorithm than the R4DS, and there isn't decrypting program for it, and there probably will never be one.

Long story short, no.

I tried this already. It doesn't appear to be possible. The N5 firmware is two files. The regular one is unencrypted. Just encrypt it and it runs on an R4. The actual changes, though, are in a separate firmware file that the R4 ignores. I got my R4 to say it was an N5 but the game they said they fixed still wouldn't work.

Exactly, the N5 uses a slightly modified version of the R4 loader but includes another file which they use to boot some games. Its basically where their compatibility fixes are but it doesn't work on the R4.

You care, or you don't care? Which one could it be?.....tick, tick, tick....and the answer is.....you do!
Why, oh why, do you keep trolling on about custom firmwares for the R4? It doesn't need it! The cart works perfectly well as it is, you are just too stupid to realize. I'm starting to think there isn't any SCDS1 coming your way (as you claimed), its just a smoke screen, and all you really want is to bundle up some crappy custom firmware for the R4 and call it your own (yes, again)!

BTW, I don't care.

Then just encrypt the N5 firmware (The non compatibility fixed) version for the R4. They basically look and function the same.

wasn't i the one who mentioned the N5 encrypting and how it failed because of the separate file! Hexane just stop! If your SCDS1 does arrive at your door step, you will start trolling elsewhere about your super awesome hacked firmwares for the SCDS1! SOMEONE KILL HIM!!!

ok here is what i do:

i go to http://www.dsn5.com/EN-N5/download-en.htm
download Update n5 vl.22 kernel(English) 2008-9-27
extract _system_ and _ax_menu(not that i need it) and ds_menu into the r4 crypt folder on my 1TB
i encrypt it takes about 5 seconds
its gives me output.dat
i rename it to _ds_menu.dat
i put it on my micro sd
i put micro in r4
launch r4
and it hangs on loading..

heres the code im using for gui.bat

@echo off
cls
:menu
echo ---------------------
echo Action Menu
echo ---------------------
echo [1] Decrypt Firmware
echo [2] Encrypt Firmware
echo [3] Decrypt Cheats
echo [4] Encrypt Cheats
echo [5] Close
echo ---------------------
echo.
set INPUT=
Set /P INPUT= Action:


if "%input%" =="" goto menu
if "%input%" =="1" goto decryptf
if "%input%" =="2" goto encryptf
if "%input%" =="3" goto decryptc
if "%input%" =="4" goto encryptc
if "%input%" =="5" goto close

:decryptf
r4crypt.exe -d _DS_MENU.DAT OUTPUT.DAT
goto close

:encryptf
r4crypt.exe -e _DS_MENU.dat _DS_MENU.DAT
goto close


:decryptc
r4crypt.exe -d CHEAT.DAT USRCHEAT.DAT
goto close

:encryptc
r4crypt.exe -e USRCHEAT.DAT CHEAT.DAT
goto close

:close
cls

when i type [2] to encrypt it it says decrypting _ds_menu.dat into output.dat

JPH edit - don't double post!

Uh...what? That can't possibly work. Ditch this stupid batch file and just say

r4crypt.exe -e _DS_MENU.dat output.dat

This assumes the N5 file is _DS_MENU.DAT and your result file will be OUTPUT.DAT

But...like I said, man, it's not going to DO anything. It's going to be the exact same firmware you have now except it will say N5 instead of R4. No new fixes, no new features, nothing.
