JaJa Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) http://www.akkit.org/misc/index.htmlLatest entry is a utility to view your firmware and so find your mac ID.Doesn't work in GBAMP + flashme (worked on mine), but GBAMP and passme and wifime and all that stuff works. Your MAC ID is the last 2 bytes on line 30 and first 4 on line 38 IIRC. Edit: modified to make it a little more correct.

sgstair Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 to clarify, the tool is a firmware viewer... lines 30 and 38 are just the lines labeled with "000030" and "000038", and the mac address is 6 bytes starting at 0x000036 -Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielsan1701 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Mind posting a.nds.gba version? Either that or please develop a GUIed.nds ->.nds.gba app. Man, I'd love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaJa Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Can you rename something?Change the.nds to.nds.gba then make sure your flashing software doesn't fix the header. Flash it and run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgstair Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Jaja... just renaming a.nds is not enough to make it work.you do need a loader - I don't know of any that have gui interfaces though. -Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuXo Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Get NDSLOADER.BIN at http://ds.gcdev.com/dsfirmware/ Put the NDS File in the same dir. Home -> Run command -> cmd get to the dir of the nds file and the ndsloader.bin an execute: copy /b ndsloader.bin + romname.nds finalrom.nds.gba And there u go...i dont think its that hard to need a gui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaJa Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 I thought everyone knew about the new loaders?Older homebrew would need the loader prepending, but alot of the new stuff (well since june) doesn't. It wasn't very wide spread news, but what you going to do ::shrugs::Prehaps if i can be bothered, i'll redo all the old homebrew with the new devkitarm and ndstool.

sgstair Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Surprisingly enough, I'm using the latest version of devkitarm. I've verified that the.nds doesn't have a built in loader. I'll look into it further. -Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaJa Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) (3).nds (new demos) Same as (2), but there is loader in "unused" space of the NDS header. Sadly, many GBA flashers mess up the NDS header thinking it's a corrupted GBA header. Hence, if your GBA flasher sucks, you will need to use a loader as in (2). Works on GBA flashcard directly if your flasher doesn't suck. Also works with a loader. from ndshb.com I told sgstair this on #dsdev, but anyway.A typical (DSgoo and DSspeech).nds.gba file has $??Qi??!=?? in the first few bytes.Jason-Bardeys-Computer:~ jason$ cat /Users/jason/Desktop/NDS\ ROMS/misc/DSSpeech/DSSpeech.ds.gba .?$??Qi??!=??andJason-Bardeys-Computer:~ jason$ cat /Users/jason/Desktop/NDS\ ROMS/misc/DSGoo\ y\ Headspin/DSGoo.ds.gba .?$??Qi??!=??Sgstairs firmware explorer has a mixture of this and the AXXE (some nds)headersJason-Bardeys-Computer:~ jason$ cat /Users/jason/Desktop/firmware_xplorer.nds AXXE?HL???\f$??Qi??!=??So try renaming the file (.nds >.nds.gba)and hope your flasher doesn't asplode the header.Crazy damn loaders.

alexa999 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 FlashMe completely rewrites the firmware. Since all this is is a firmware viewer, couldn't it be possible that all DSes with FlashMe have the same MAC adress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
