Nintendo DS ROM Dumper v1.0
by SMT (aka Silver Moon Team)
Required:
1) GBA flashcard.
2) FlashMe (patched firmware) or PassMe.
3) GBA Movie Player (v2). This might change in the future.
4) CompactFlash card without bad sectors. All contents will be erased by the dumper!
Instructions:
1) Flash dumper.nds.gba on GBA flashcart.
2) Place GBA flashcart into DS.
3) Place DS card to dump into DS. Use FlashMe or PassMe.
4) Turn on the DS and let the dumper program boot.
5) Insert GBA Movie Player with CompactFlash.
6) Press A button.
7) Do not move DS and wait until DS card needs to be reinserted.
8) Reinsert the DS card WITHOUT any PassMe.
9) Press A button.
10) Turn off DS.
11) Remove CompactFlash card and put into a PC reader.
12) Run the dumper utility on PC.
13) ........
14) Apply (or run with wifi) the latest generic patcher/loader which is compatible with your GBA flashcard or Movie Player.
Keep your eyes open for the latest generic patcher/loader. We will add a savegame manager to it. |
Lots of dumps have just been released by other groups then GST. Did anyone try them? How do you play them (passme, wifime, flashme needed?)
Oh and I dont know if this is allowed to be posted, otherwise just delete or lock.

Delete step 13 and it'll be OK, as a lot of people back up their GBA carts and run them in VBA to see how a particular visual effect works.
EDIT: Thank you. Now the instructions comply with 17 USC 117.

Hmmm....
Nice info to know, but how does cart dumping relate to ds development?

Which is why I moved it to flash equipment.

You know, there is another nds rom dumper released for the neoflash specific. Its made by DMT(Dark Monster Team). I tried it myself, but I can't know if the rom it dumps is valid or not.
(DMT vs. SMT!)

Do the silver moon team have a website or anything?

I think they share their web site with Rusty Satelite Team (RST), but I could be wrong.

I'm curious about this - if I understand this, there is a way to acces Compact Flash from app - maybe there will be in future option to download game updates (courses, models, etc.) and place them on Play-Yan or sth? It would be fun - same thing as PSP owners can do ;)

I've tried it out... And it works. Got these nice, freshly dumped, useless .nds files sitting on my hard drive.
As for accessing the CF card with a movie player, there's already a huge topic about that. Chism wrote a FAT16 driver for it and everything.

Yeah, and somehow I think this dumper is based in someway on Darkfader and my flash read / write sector routines. Notice how it came out just after Darkfader posted code for writing? I think the least they could do to thank us is update it to use FAT so it doesn't corrupt the CF card. That and release their source code.
