DS development > Extraxt header.bin from NDS File

#168178 - hamm - Mon Apr 13, 2009 5:48 pm

Hi,

i'll like to know how to extract the header.bin from a nds file. I've tried with nitrofs but i didn't work. Can someone help me please?

using ndstool which resides in C:\devkitPro\devkitARM\bin\

Code:
ndstool -x <ndsfile.nds> -h <headerfile.bin>


replace <ndsfile.nds> with the filename of the .nds file and <headerfile.bin> with the file you want the header file to be named

Oh sorry its my fault. Thats not what i mean. I want to read the header.bin from an nds file WITH my nds homebrew and not a windows tool or something. Thats why i tried nitrofs, but i can't open header.bin with this library or i'm to stupid to do this.

So maybe someone can help me now?

Thanks!!
