I want to put dsiware from my 3ds to my dsi, so what I tried to do was go to system settings on my 3ds, data management, dsiware and copy the dsiware from the system memory to the sd card. but when I try to convert the dsiware from .bin to .nds it doesn't work. if I do the same thing on my dsi, it does. I cant find a .cia of the dsiware online anywhere, because if I could I would be able to convert it to .app and launch it with twilightmenu

Copy the DSiWare .app files from [2:] SYSNAND TWLN to your SD card and rename the files to .nds (it's not a different format, just a different name).

They can be found in title/00030004

Good luck and have fun!

Hello, Do i need to install python or something before running the program because it didn´t work for me. It saids extraction failed. Help
 
I get extraction failed,

I am trying to convert aura ura climber which is recognized by no-intro dat so it is a working file.

And when I try to run bin to nds as admin the window shows "dsi_srl_extract is required for this program to work."

but dsi_srl_extract is in the folder already.
 
Let's cut the shit: here are my DSiWare Conversion scripts. This allows you to copy DSiWare to your SD card from your DSi, and then convert them to a .NDS file (these files cannot run from a flashcart, don't ask!) for asset dumping, analysing, etc, or a .CIA file for installation on a 3DS!


How To Convert To .NDS:

  1. Download the attachment from below and extract it
  2. Insert an SD card into your DSi(XL) and open System Settings
  3. Open Data Management and copy any DSiWare you want to convert to your SD card
  4. Remove Your SD Card and insert it into your PC. Navigate to SD:/private/ds/title/
  5. Copy all of the .bin files to the dsiware folder
  6. Run _BIN_To_NDS.nds, it should start showing you the names of the DSiWare titles you are converting
  7. All extracted .NDS files will be available in the output-nds folder.


How To Convert To .CIA:

  1. Follow the above steps
  2. Run _NDS_To_CIA.bat, it should start showing the output names of your DSiWare titles
  3. Your .CIA files will be available in the output-cia folder
