Linker
- My current linker is a DSTTi
- Bought here
- Firmware TTi 1.4 Upgrade 9 Septembre 2009
- TTMenu OS v1.17 (Français) 21 janvier 2009
Backing up SAV
Two tools are available for making back-ups of savegame from original cartridges:
- Using SavSender / SavReceiver
- Using NDS Backup Tool - WiFi and a FTP Server
These tools only works on a DS Lite. They do not work on the DSi. Both tools require first to setup the WiFi connection on the DS Lite.
Setting WiFi on DS Lite
To setup WiFi on the DS Lite, you need to configure the WiFi Router, and then configure WiFi in a game that requires WiFi connection (eg. Mario Kart).
- Configure the WiFi Router
- Enable channel B.
- Broadcast the SSID
- Disable security on the WiFi network (no WEP, no WPA, etc).
- Configure the Nintendo DS Lite
- Start a game that requires WiFI (eg. Mario Kart)
- Go in WiFi settings, and choose/configure accordingly.
Using SavSender / SavReceiver
This requires to run SavSender on the DS Lite and SavReceiver on the PC.
Configure SavSender:
- SavSender needs to be installed on the Linker in the following folder structure:
/DATA /DATA/savsender-1.1b.nds /DATA/Settings/savsender.conf
- ! IMPORTANT: follow this structure exactly. Same letter case, same extension, same everything !
- Content of file savsender.conf:
www.xxx.yyy.zzz<CR> 5000
- www.xxx.yyy.zzz is the IP address of the receiving PC.
- ! IMPORTANT: Only one Carriage Return (explicitly indicated above by <CR>). So no Carriage Return after the second line. Use port 5000 (tried port 12345 but with a 2nd CR, and got Connected to AP and then error Error opening config file).
Configure SavReceiver
- Enter IP address (of current PC!) and listening port
Finally start SavReceiver, follows the tutorial and you'll get the .sav files on the PC (note that you might need to disable the Windows Firewall on the PC). These files must be copied back on the Linker but with a filename that match exactly the name of the corresponding ROM. So if for instance the ROM is called Super Mario Bros (EU).nds, then the .sav file must be renamed to Super Mario Bros (EU).sav.
NDS Backup Tool - WiFi
Also known as Rudolph's tool.
The procedure is explained in details here
Note that the file are not rounded to 512kB when saved, but the linker will normally pad it as necessary. If not you'll need to pad the file yourself manually.
