Hi :)

I've made a Savegame converter for Nintendo DS. Actually this script is alpha so if you see a mistake, please report it to me ;)

Here is the link :

Any reports/questions are welcome, never forget that ! :p

Which format should I use for a save ripped directly from the cartridge using REIN? This would allow people do download all those saves in AR's format and use REIN to use them on an actual cartridge...

#126225 - josath - Sat Apr 21, 2007 3:00 am

rein (and my tool 'eepinator') uses a raw format, just the save data exactly with no headers or anything. that should be very simple to add a convertor for.

Yeah I figured... theres one on there for N card, is that a new slot 1 solution I dunno about? Or is there any of those slot 1 cards listed that already uses a raw format?

I think I understand what you want ... you have a tool which can rip savegames from original cartridge and can load savegames to original cartridge and you want a new conversion on my script to use AR saves on your original cartridge, am I wrong ? (i'm french so I don't understand everything :p)

This is not a problem, just give me at least 3 savegames ripped with REIN and I'll make a converter ;)

#126288 - Dood77 - Sat Apr 21, 2007 9:13 pm

Yes, basically all I want is for raw save formats to be added to that list.

"Raw" refers to something with no header. REIN and RAC can load and save in raw format.

Format like Supercard doesn't add any headers they just add a lot of FF bytes to increase the size to 262,144 bytes :p

Ok I'm working on RAW format ;)

If you have Animal Crossing: Wild World (NTR-ADME-USA), and you want a few backups to test with your tool, I can give you the weekly history of Picken.

very fine tool especially if you have more than one cartridge!

#128568 - Diddl - Sat May 12, 2007 8:01 pm

cool, runs fine between ds linker (mk5) and ds simply.

Hi Shuny

You wanted to offer a Win32 executable of your savegame converter?
