Homebrew [Release] GodMode9i - All Access File Browser for the DS(i) (and 3DS)

[Alexander1970]

v2.0.1

What's new?

• DS(i) carts can now be dumped to Slot-2 flashcards as well! (Untested)

Hello.

Thank you for another great Update.

I have tried to dump NDS Games to Slot-2 EZ Flash IV.



The Dump starts/completed but there is no Folder(s) \gm9i\out on the EZ Flash microSD Card.
Creating the Folders manually also did not help.



The GameBoy Advance Dump works perfect.

Thank you.

So both the .nds and .sav files don't exist after dumping?

hey thanks for this awesome homebrew but i have a problem with the dump feature, i can't seems to dump my GBA game "Math Patrol" to the flashcart's micro sd, i tested it with GEi and R4 SDHC Dual-Core and its still doesn't want to dump it

i boot the GodMode9i with the latest TWiLight Menu and press a on GBA GAMECART to dump my GBA game but it just went back so fast like it has done dumping, when i check on the out folder there aren't any dumped file in it

is this only work on some flashcart or am i doing something wrong?

Make sure the GBA cart is inserted correctly.
If it is, then idk what's going on.

Yes.

No .nds
No .sav

and no \gm9i\out Folder (I made it by myself)

Thank you.

hi i tried to dump Pokemon Black 2 JPN (DSi enhanced game) but its not a proper dump. Everything between 0x200 and 0xFFF was wrong. Most of data was just 00 instead of real data.
Hope u can fix it

Next I tried Mario Kart DS EUR but compared to official rom of Wii U virtuel console, there are also many differences between 0x1000 and 0x3FFF which acording to gbatek is "Reserved Area". And 0x4000 to 0x8000 this is the encrypted secure area which is decrypted in godmode9i dump. Maybe add an option for storing original encrypted data too possible?
I want to use for 100 per cent preservation purpose thank u

Ok dumped again, now the DSi extend header looks fine
but is it possible to put 0x1000 to 0x3FFF and undecrypted 0x4000 to 0x7FFF? ^^

1. Nope. The 0001000h-0003FFF area cannot be read by consoles.
2. Dunno how to do that.
   Even if I did, there are no plans.

my DS Lite detected the GBA game and i can even dump it with GBA Backup Tool, so i don't know why it doesn't work with GodMode9i

v2.1.0

What's new?

• The GUI now looks closer to the original GM9, with the top text now placed behind a green line, and unhighlighted folders now tinted blue.
• 2 RAM drives are now available!
  One is shown for both DSi and 3DS (9MB), and the other is only shown for 3DS (16MB).
• The size of the highlighted drive is now shown.
• File/folder attributes can now be changed.
• Time text is no longer cleared, except for when dumping GBA ROMs.
• Directory options (R+A) are now shown.
• You can now press R+A while any .. dir is highlighted, to go back to the drive menu.

Bug fixes

• Fixed some TWL ROM dumps not containing the complete header.
  It is unknown if the bug with missing TWL binaries is fixed.
• (@Pk11) Fixed file browsing being super flickery.
• When renaming a file/folder or creating a folder, unsupported characters are now blanked out, to prevent deletion.

What are the RAM drives for? What can we do with them?

They're storage for when you want to put files into another SD card in the flashcard slot.

Hello.

Thank you for the Update.

Tested it again with the Flashcard/EZ Flash IV on the DS Lite.

The GBA Dump is still working perfectly.

The NDS Dump unfortunately is not working.This Time it does not even start...
After successful unmounting the Flashcart,it does not recognize the Gamecarts.(I have tried Direct Boot on/off in the Settings in TWiLight)
Additional I have this "Line of Smilies" on Top right after Boot up:



A new Feature ?

On the DSi all works perfect.

Thank you.

Try starting GM9i without a cart inserted, then insert the cart.

Try starting GM9i without a cart inserted, then insert the cart.

Thank you.

By the Way,if it is maybe important,I think you know it but as Reminder,the DS Lite is FlashMe´d.

Try starting GM9i without a cart inserted, then insert the cart.

And how did I achieve this on my DS Lite ?
