Notice: this program is not homebrew for the DS, it only uses homebrew (SavSender).


If you're not familiar with command in Windows (using NetCat) and you need to dump or restore a save file from a Nintendo DS Game Card, this program is the answer.
If you use SavSender many times, you already noticed you need NetCat or something else and need the command prompt, but what if you don't know how to use all this? Well, you're stuck... until now!


Using this program you're able to configure SavSender and dump/restore the save file in a GUI. Because this program still uses NetCat and it's almost not findable on the internet, NetCat is included in this zip-file. SavSender is not included, you need to download it from this site. The 2 files in the zip-file need to be placed in one folder, otherwise it won't work.

The program comes with a help function, please read it if you don't know what you're doing!
Also, if you have AntiVirus software, it may block NetCat. Please disable the software while using this program or create a custom rule to allow NetCat.


Good luck on dumping and restoring save files!

Download
You need Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to use my program, if you don't have it, download it here (x86, x64).

I made this program only, not NetCat or SavSender.
I'm not responsible if your games are damaged by using SavSender!



If there're problems, please post it here so I can fix it! (only if the problem is in the GUI, not NetCat or SavSender!)

Well, I don't know, I just made this program myself because using commands everytime to set up NetCat...

And I have searched whole Google for the Windows port of NetCat... maybe the original is easy to find, but not this one. And I made a GUI for it so it's easier

Anyone can find netcat on the internet...
It's actually harder than you might think. Very few places outside the original site mirrored the nc.exe file, and last time I checked I wasn't able to get archive.org to cooperate with me to grab the file. I finally realized I had uploaded a copy to my SavSender guide topic but users not logged into SCDev wouldn't have been able to download it.

As for its compatibility, it may not work quite as intended for some newer games, but for the most part it works fine.

So if I get a Auto-Protect on nc.exe, should I allow it? It's preventing me from extracting. I just want to be careful, I've got a virus before. Not fun.

No, I've no plans to make a program for Mac. I use VB.NET and C#, I just don't know how to create something for Mac.

Yes, if you want more information about NetCat: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/secur...-120115-5633-99
NetCat listens to ports and also sends data through this port, this is the only reason why AntiVirus software is blocking it. It's safer to create a custom rule to allow it than shut down the whole Auto-Protect.


O, and I forget to mention this: you need Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, otherwise my program don't work.

I know what NetCat does, it's just when I downloaded a copy before, I didn't get that warning. How exactly do I make a custom rule for NetCat?

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
