Homebrew [RELEASE] fw2nds - build firmware.nds from firmware.bin

[OutragerousDust1999]

Hello Dr1ft, I have a doubt and it is that when I put the .bin to the program, nothing happens apart from other .bin files are created. How can I solve it? I would be very grateful.

This is all I get when running that, any idea?

Edit: Compiled fwunpack.exe on my own and the first exception disappeared. The second one still persists…

If this is a .NET executable, don't run it with WINE, run it with Mono directly instead, see if it works better that way.

Interesting tool...

 

[Naendow]

Would it be possible to update the software to be compatible with the recently released DS beta firmware? It would be nice to run it from a flashcard or directly on a DSi.

opening fw2nds.exe with firmware.bin i get:
