Hacking NDS ExplorerEx

[Blauhasenpopo]

P.S.: Is it possible to implement .gba; .sav support for example: an icon NDS SAV for .sav files?

+1 for .sav and .gba support.

Downloaded, and have hardly used... but already, it be awesome XD

AFAIK, GBA games don't have the same header info.
They have an internal name, but "Super Mario Advanced 2: Super Mario World" is "SUPER MARIOB". They also don't have an icon.

As for .SAV, it's kind of the same thing. It doesn't have a name and no icon.


If you just want to change the icons for ALL .gba and .sav files, that's simple enough to do.

How do i do that?

Drag the ds.rod over the .exe and get a 0 byte output-file?

Someone a guess what to do?

Sorry. But i have no problem to convert ds.rod to nds-rom.dat.

I have uploaded a nds-rom.dat converted from ds.rod v5612

Download: Megaupload

When I try to set .nds file allocation to DeSmuME it over writes the NDS icons with the DeSmuME icon, this does not happen with .nds is allocated with NO$GBA.

If there is nothing you can do and something I need to tell the devs of DeSmuME, please let me now and I will post it there.

How do i do that?There's ways of manually doing it in Windows (XP is easiest, Vista and 7 are harder), but I prefer to use Types: http://izt.name/soft/types/
Open it up, find the file extension and double click it.
In the window that pops up click the Icon tab and hit the folder button to browse for an icon.
You can set it to whatever you want and it will show for all files of that type.

I ran into this problem as well.
I made a little app to fix it and it will "scan" your computer for No$GBA.exe, No$Zoomer.exe and DeSmuMe.exe and let you choose which to set as association.
http://www.mediafire.com/?vx72qg3qthdrdzy This is for EvoTools only, my mistake.

Alternatively, you can use Types (linked above) to change the file association without breaking the icon.
Once you have it fixed open up Types and type 'nds' to jump to the 'NDS' icon.
Under the Actions tab you'll see No$GBA or DeSmuMe, click it and in the folder box you can browse for a new file.

Don't the CycloDS one not work on x64 systems?

EvoTools only works on 32bit (x86) systems, but there is a version called NDS Icon viewer for 64bit (x64) systems.

Oh whoops... I didn't realize this is for a diff app.
Use Types to change file association without messing with the icon.

I have tryed Win Xp and Win 7 and I still can't get the converter to work. I just get a 0 bytes output. Any help would be appreciated. Any one have the newest converted dsrod file for download?

 

[teentitans14]

Hi,

Currently i work on a new version of NDS ExplorerEx. This version can self update the nds-rom.dat database.
Also an column-handler will supported. So the explorer shows the ROM-Datas in own columns.

Under Windows XP all works fine. But under Vista and above still not (because Microsoft has removed the column-handler stuff in Vista).

the new version is coming soon!

PS: here is a new converted nds-rom.dat (v.5820).

 

[teentitans14]

anyone care to post the new converted nds-rom.dat v. 5827 since I still can't get the converter to work.

Can you make the rename option to be format driven, either through an .ini file (easiest) or the registry?

For example,

() []

or

I'm having slight problems installing, that and the installer is all in German.

I can't get ROMs to show their icons, not even the 'right click' options to appear. :/
