Hello everyone,

after trying out many Nintendo DS ROM Managers I have decided to create my own. The thing is, I have no low level knowledge of how to read a ROM. I was wondering if anyone knows any library that already has this functionality.

Although I am planning on doing it in C#, I have enough knowledge to do it in any language this library is.

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried searching for the source codes to ndsts? Since it can get into the roms, maybe there's some source? I'm not sure though... or maybe you can send an email to the creators of it

I had the same idea and downloaded the source of desmume from SourceForge. I am looking at it right now. It's in C++. Let's see...

I also found a Python library in this Trac site (it's down! I was there 5 minutes ago!): [url=http://dev.jmoiron.net/trac/rom-seimei/]http://dev.jmoiron.net/trac/rom-seimei/[/url]

I will also look at your suggestion.

QUOTE(Gryphon93 @ Jan 12 2010, 06:50 PM) I found this when I searched for documentation about the .nds-format. I'm working on a program too and I had to know how to read .nds-files. Well, here's the link: [url=http://www.bottledlight.com/ds/index.php/F...rmats/NDSFormat]http://www.bottledlight.com/ds/index.php/F...rmats/NDSFormat[/url]

What are you working on? If it's a ROM Manager maybe we could work together...

Thanks for the link.

    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:

    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
