Nintendo DSi

Linker

• My current linker is DSTTi.
• Had to update to new firmware after DSi firmware update 1.4 (done via a Nintendo DS)

Backuping up ROM

There are many tools available on the DS to backup ROMs and SAVs. Unfortunately, these tools do not seem to work on the DSi.

Using SavSender / SavReceiver

First configure the WiFi router:

• Basic Wireless settings
  • Wireless network mode: B/G/N-Mixed (actually must at least support B channel)
  • SSID broadcast: Enabled (mandatory for homebrew application using WiFi)
• Wireless security
  • Security mode: Disabled

Then configure SavSender:

• 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, etc.
• Got the .SAV files.
• ... BUT DOESN'T WORK. FILES ARE FILLED WITH ZEROES !!!

NDS Backup Tool - WiFi

(Rudolph's tool)

• Disabled windows firewall
• Same WiFi config as above
• See tutorial here
