ratx stuffs

dslazy is a discontinued ( and out of date? ) vb.net wrapper around a few command line only nds utilities. Open a nds file using the […] button and get information regarding it generated via ndstool by pressing the (i) button. Other functionality includes:

• remove blank space from a nds file (trimmer)
• prepend a small ndsloader (ndsloader)
• scan for “crashme” code in a nds file (crashme)
• patch a file with }[ains “ndspatcher” ( ndspatch )
• unpack and repack a nds file ( nds unpack & nds packer )

download dslazy ( Requires the .NET runtime )

The nds rom trimmer ( trim.exe ) really needs looking at; its reported to remove too much from certain files and it works in a suboptimal way ( ie its a bit slow ) however you can just drag and drop stuff onto it which certain people seem to like so here is a direct download: trim.zip

See: trim.exe updated

Prepending a ndsloader basically turns a .nds file into a .ds.gba file, however dslazy saves the output as a .nds file. This is because of the way the Supercard firmware works; you could in fact rename the ds.gba versions of homebrew files to .nds to get the same effect. DevkitPro now produces .nds files that work directly, but the file extension .sc.nds has been adopted for Supercard owners.

The Crashme scanner is also of little use any more, the malware in question isn’t generally found in the wild and in any case the ’sig’ darkfader provided to grep with finds possible bricker code in most homebrew. Please bear this in mind.
