[TrolleyDave]

You've added full credits now, I'm a happy chappy!

 

[jurassicplayer]

I think he really wants to get credit for making a .bat file (whereas I would like to have someone else make my ysmenu generator because its probably a mess xD). In any case, I have never felt the need to use any generators for anything (because "I am not a nub" and I have searching abilities apparently), but I'm sure that one day, there will be one program per flashcart that will instantly update everything as you want it and then all forum talk will cease to exist in the flashcart categories. Then people will label GBATemp as a "Once great, but now dead" forum, causing the forums to lose tons of members until finally, everyone relinquishes it altogether and GBATemp becomes no more. So in order to prevent that, help nubs by forcing them to search, and don't give them some cheap easy way out because its obvious that what we all want is for nubs to learn exactly what it is that they are doing, teach it to others, and better the knowledge of the nds community rather than give the option for perpetual nubs that we can get annoyed at and may one day murder.

If anything, I think Pyrosurfer should start from scratch rather than base it off of another's work because because all things are more fun when do something all by yourself.

 

[Blazikun]

This is just a modified version of r4crypt isn't it? And it doesn't have a save convert option.

edit : Ignore the last part, download 1.0 instead of 1.5.

edit2 : Just noticed your other topic, this is just a modified version of r4crypt. It's a bit out of order that you haven't mentioned that it's simply a modified version of r4crypt, and very wrong that you've slapped your own name on it without giving credit to the original.

no it isnt modded, TrolleyDave, and i have given credit to MaxConsole in my top post for it. It isn't a modified version, it's a bat file, and i've given credit for it. also, do download 1.5. it has a launchable firmware maker and a save "renamer-converter". implementing more things soon, though

also: to jurassicplayer - it's not based on. It's the original chishm r4crypt with a bat file i made.

edit2: @trolleydave - thanks. i just noticed it was pointing to the wrong file!

 

[twiztidsinz]

I think TrolleyDave's point is your .bat is still based off someone else's with minimal changes.


However, your additions seem to be a good idea, though not well implemented.

This will work unreliably:

:savconvea
msg * This will permanently convert your R4 SAVs to WOODR4 SAVs! Click X to exit NOW if undesirable!
pause
rename *.sav *.nds.sav

Since it will catch -all- ".sav" files including previously converted ".nds.sav" and make them ".nds.nds.sav".

This will NOT work:

:savconvt
msg * This will permanently convert your WOODR4 SAVs to R4 SAVs! Click X to exit NOW if undesirable!
pause
rename *.nds.sav *.sav

DOS/Windows Shell treats the last '.' as the file extension.
So for example, while "*.nds.sav" will find "New Mario Bros. (U).nds.sav", it will rename ".sav" to ".sav".

It's not too hard to get those right, just read up on 'for /f ... in ... do'.

Here are some examples of 'for /f ... in ... do' that I have used for backing up:

Spoiler

Archive Images in Year-Month format (from Filename)

@echo off
md monthly
for /f "tokens=1-7 delims=/-[] " %%i in ('dir/b *.png') do C:\Progra~1\WinRAR\rar.exe a monthly\%%i-%%j.rar "[%%i-%%j-%%k] %%l %%m %%n %%o"
@echo.
@echo.
@echo Files archived by month.
pause

Simple Game Save Backup in Folder

@echo off
for /f "tokens=1-6 delims=/: " %%i in ('echo %%DATE%% %%TIME%%') do md "save\%%l-%%j-%%k %%m.%%n" && copy "save\*.*" "save\%%l-%%j-%%k %%m.%%n"
@echo.
@echo.
@echo Eastern Sun Save folder has been backed up.
pause

Game Save Backup in RAR Archive

@echo off
md save\backup
for /f "tokens=1-6 delims=/: " %%i in ('echo %%DATE%% %%TIME%%') do C:\Progra~1\WinRAR\rar.exe a save\backup\%%l-%%j-%%k_%%m.%%n.rar save\*.*
@echo.
@echo.
@echo Eastern Sun Save folder has been backed up.
pause

And here is the code I used to remove the extension from the Moonshell2 Skin Packer:

Spoiler

set /p skin=Enter the name of the skin: 
set skin=%skin:.skn=%
skins\makeskin.exe "%skin%.skn" "%skin%"

It replaces ".skn" with ""

Despite what you may think... I'm not trying to start problems with you.
I just have zero tolerance for people who steal code and call it their own and will not hesitate to call people out on it.

thanks, twizt. i will clean it up soon. version 3 is coming out, and i think i might build a program for it

edit: the .nds.sav to .sav doesnt work, as labelled in the bat. I will fix this. do you know how to rename .nds.sav to .sav without it ignoring the .nds part?

 

[twiztidsinz]

This should work... I've tested it and it worked on my saves, however there is two small problems:
1). It drops the "!" in files, so that any file with "!" in their names fail.
2). It's "dumb". There's no check to skip files not of the proper type, but they'll just fail and it will continue.

Spoiler: Code & Info

1). Replace :savconvea and :savconvt with the code below.
2). Direct 1 and 2 to :savconvert
3). Might want to change the second menu's %input% variable to something like "%savopt%"

:savconvert
msg * This will permanently convert your R4 SAVs to WOODR4 SAVs! Click X to exit NOW if undesirable!
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "tokens=* delims=:" %%i in ('dir/b *.sav') do (
set filename=%%i
set filename=!filename:.sav=!
set filename=!filename:.nds=!
IF %input%="1" rename "!filename!.sav" "!filename!.nds.sav"
IF %input%="2" rename "!filename!.nds.sav" "!filename!.sav"
)
SETLOCAL DisableExtensions

Quick breakdown of what it does
Line 1: Your line to escape renaming operation
Line 2: Enables variables to be refreshed on each iteration of the code.
Line 3: Run the code for all files ending with ".sav", including ".nds.sav".
Line 4: Convert filename to variable.
Line 5: Strip ".sav" from the variable.
Line 6: Strip ".nds" from the variable.
Line 7: Rename ".sav" to ".nds.sav" (R4 -> Wood)
Line 8: Rename ".nds.sav" to ".sav" (Wood -> R4)
Line 9: Closing operations from Line 3
Line 10: Disabled variables from being refreshed on each iteration (default).

thanks, twizt. it's made my code a lot cleaner. i'm working on a few things ; should be done v2 by next week!

Sources included in download.
Closed source BAT

Isn't that completely contradictory? Anyway, how can you have a closed source bat? They are by definition open source. BTW, no i haven't downloaded it (but will do in a minute), so maybe I'm missing something here.

EDIT: OK I downloaded it, don't see how its closed source in anyway, I'm looking at source right now. Also realised when you said "Sources included" you meant r4crypt sources. I have a question about this part:

CODE:lnchfwmk
msg * remember to copy the DAT Firmware folder on your SD First!
pause
r4crypt.exe -d _DS_MENU.DAT FIRMWARE.LFK
rename *.lfk *.fwd
rename *.fwd *.nds

Why name it FIRMWARE.LFK, then rename it from lfk to fwd then rename it from fwd to nds? Why not just name it FIRMWARE.nds it begin with? If you're only renaming it, the file is identical after the two renames as it was to begin with, only with a different name.

meh... i got bored. that code is being trimmed from the next version

 

[tk_saturn]

Seems pointless to me

I've had a batch file on filetrip for ages, which will rename *.nds.sav to *.sav, *.sav to *.sav.nds (it will not rename *.nds.sav to *.nds.nds.sav), *.SAV to *.sav and it performs this in all subdirectories too. It also will backup all the saves to My Documents\DS-Saves\[date]\[time]

http://filetrip.net/file.php?id=10322

twiztidsinz may as well write the thing himself.

Actually do?

 

[tk_saturn]

It's strange, but this batch file looks almost identical to triassic911's post which has been sticked at the to of this forum http://gbatemp.net/t164359-guide-to-instal...smenu-on-the-r4
