hydroseed
simple (cross platform) command line tool to download seeddb.bin files and export them to .dats.
why?
Many CIAs from the CDN require seeds to run. FBI can download seeds from the official servers, however that doesn't do much good if you don't have/want wireless connectivity. FBI can also import seeds from SD:/fbi/seed/<titleid>.dat, but collections of .dat files are hard to come by as other tools use seeddb.bin. Until FBI supports seeddb.bin files, hydroseed can help you out. Maybe you want everything needed to get the CIA going stored offline for infinity purposes or whatever.
hydroseed is very simple - it downloads seeddb.bin files from urls listed in a text file and dumps all seeds to ./fbi/seed/<titleid>.dat

- Download and extract the program
- Edit seedsources.txt to contain the urls to seeddb.bin files. One per line.
- Run the program.
- You now have a folder called fbi contianing a seed folder containing dats.
- Copy fbi folder to the root of your sd card.
- FBI will now import seeds from your sd card when installing CIAs or selecting import.
