DS development > ROM Header CRC16? it doesn't match

#140496 - briantokyo - Sun Sep 16, 2007 10:10 pm

Hi,

There's something odd with the ROM headers CRC16 check. I've checked the CRC16 value from the header (0x15E-0x15F), and compared it against my own crc check of the header (0x00-015D, starting with 0xFFFF), it doesn't match the value stored in the header at all.

Am I missing something?

perhaps you aren't calculating the CRC in the same way? try looking at the ndstool source code, I believe it has code to generate/check the CRC.

nm, solved it :) the crc16 in the header is correct
