Homebrew [RELEASE] Gamecard Dumper

[Roboman]

Does decrypt9wip let you dump a cart to a cia using only your 3DS, no PC needed? Because it was my understanding you had to dump the cart as a decrypted rom, copy it to your computer to convert it to cia format, and then copy the converted cia back.

The most recent update of Decrypt9 added cartridge dumping features, the homebrew in the OP is simply that exact menu taken from Decrypt9's source and built as a standalone app.

Assuming this is truly based on Decrypt9 - please release the source or I'll lock/remove this topic.

Ok i will upload the source code

Nice !

So with this you're able to dump your game cartridges into .CIAs? (I'm a noob at this scene)

Yes, you just put the cartridge into your 3DS and it directly create an installabe CIA of it. It is just a stripped down version of Decrypt9WIP with only dumping features

It NOW does allow you to without a PC.

While derivative works are not discouraged, you actually added nothing new, @TheGreek Boy.

On top of that everyone should keep in mind that parts of the cart dumper are still very much work in progress (basically everything DS related) and improvements are still coming, which you will have difficulties to keep up with.

That being said, everyone has to start somewhere, and you might work from where you are now. I myself took the D9 source code from Archshift, starting with some very simple modifications, and look where it is now.

@TheGreek Boy you still have to release the source code, this is GPL'd.

What is it with you people and not wanting to release source? I hate the GPL too but once you're under its clutches you gotta comply man.
I'd recommend reading the code and reimplementing it yourself.

Why lot of people does hate the GPL? Because of his restriction? Personally,I love the GPL for this point too.

Also,as @d0k3 and @Wolfvak say,you must really change the software to claim that you contributed to it. In that case (I'm not sure,I'll verify later) I think you just deleted non⁻needed function and redone menu,things that EVERYONE can do.

things that EVERYONE can do.

Lol I can't do that (but I'm learning, I'll figure it out eventually )
Also, why do people hate the GPL so much?

People dislike it for semantic reasons. Anything released under the GPL must be open source, and any code used from the parent source must also remain open. People dislike this because it isn't actual freedom. Some people feel they should be able to do whatever they'd like with code provided certain credits are retained, which I agree with especially when it comes to scenarios like this thread. Since this is directly taken from D9 with technically no changes whatsoever it's kinda silly to release the source, but due to D9 being under the GPL, this project must be open source.

Personally,it is not a reason at all .

GPL enforces freedom for the users of the code, other licenses like BSD ensure freedom for the developers. As a point where GPL can be a nuisance, look towards SDKs like Oculus' HMD SDK or other SDKs specific to certain devices. Several games and projects licensed under GPL cannot legally interface with Oculus' SDK because it is not GPL compatible, and for a while it simply meant that you couldn't make those things work with the Rift at all (or you violated GPL like the people who made the Rift work with dolphin). OpenJK had a big quarrel over this here since the project was licensed under (I believe) GPLv3 partially due to being derived from Quake 3 which was also licensed under GPL. You can often get away with linking GPL things to non-GPL-compatible libraries anyhow (especially if it's purely for personal use and you don't release it), but you're still technically breaching license.

Other licenses give you more freedom in what you do with your project, and often times it's better to not use GPL in some places, like with ctrulib. If ctrulib were licensed under GPL, any and all 3dsx files would be required to be GPL, which takes away the freedom of developers. You also have things like LGPL which enforces that any changes to the project have their source released, but it can still link against projects which are closed source or non-GPL. My general rule of thumb is that if it's a library (or if you want to link against obscure libraries), do LGPL or other more free licenses, if it's a tool do GPL because with tools it's always better to have the code open and improved publicly, if it's a game it really doesn't matter but source code is nice.

What is Certs.db when I choose dump as CIA

 

[Savvasf]

Is there a way to inject roms into a gamecard?If dumping is possible why not Inject?I'd really like to inject acnl to a useless gamecard of mine to give it to my friend.

Because the content on a game cartridge is read-only. It's not possible to erase and overwrite data to it.

 

[adrifcastr]

ROM = Read Only Memory. And pls don't necrobump.

How is The r4 flashable though?
