.Net 3DS Toolkit

By evandixon

Ever notice how the majority of command-line applications require about a dozen commands for a single logical operation? This tool aims to fix that! Not only is there an easy-to-use GUI, ROMs can be extracted and repacked with a single console command per operation.

System requirements:
.Net Framework 4.6 Free space on the system drive. Cleanup happens as soon as possible, but especially for larger ROMs, you may need several GB free.
Supported formats for extraction:
Decrypted CCI (aka .3DS) Decrypted CXI (what Braindump gives you) Decrypted CIA NDS ROM
Supported formats for building:
Decrypted CCI (aka .3DS) For use with Citra Can be used for Gateway and Sky 3DS (with CFW) if encrypted using Decrypt9 0-Key Encrypted CCI For use with Gateway CIA For use with CFW HANS RomFS, Code.Bin, and Homebrew Launcher Shortcut NDS ROM
Planned Features:
Copy private header to 0-key encrypted CCI files as they are built. Until this is done, any *.3dz files created are invalid until a private header is added. Credits:
@SciresM for 3DS Builder (modified to use command-line arguments) profi200 for Project_CTR's makerom dnasdw for 3dstool @Asia81 for HackingToolkit3DS, which provided the usage for 3dstool.

DS ROM Patcher

By evandixon

Normaly, distributing ROM hacks for NDS ROMs involves an XDelta patch applied to the entire ROM. 3DS hacks usually involves tedious ROM extraction and file replacement. Patches applied to the ROM as a whole do not support multiple regions of games, and tedious ROM extraction and file replacement is a chore. DS ROM Patcher aims to fix that: a single easily-distributable zip file contains everything that's needed to apply a hack to a ROM. The supported input and output formats are the same as in my .Net 3DS Toolkit: 3DS, CIA, and Hans.

Instructions for creating and applying hacks can be found at the GitHub Readme page.

Requires the .Net Framework 4.6.2.

By Knoxyz

If you have any questions or need help. join here for quick assistance. So there is a new Tool for Pokemon DS mapping, which i want to show you, made by Trifindo. Official PDSMS GitHub --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to import your maps into Gen 4 games, you will need: DSPRE (DS Pokemon Rom Editor)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important! you need to download: G3DCVTR in order to make the tool work.

Put the (g3dcvtr.exe) file and the (xerces-c_2_5_0.dll)
into the following path: Pokemon DS Map Studio-2.2\bin\converter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description:
Pokemon DS Map Studio is a tool for creating maps for Pokemon DS games. This tool must be used along with SDSME for importing the maps in the games.
The tool contains some predesigned tilesets for each game but custom tiles can also be created.

Games available:
Pokemon Diamond / Pearl Pokemon Platinum Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silver Pokemon Black / White Pokemon Black 2 / White 2
What Pokemon DS Map Studio can do?
Create Pokemon DS maps [*.nsbmd] Edit map collisions [*.per] Edit map terrain files [*.bdhc] Edit textures (experimental) [*.nsbtx] Import 3D tiles as OBJ format Edit 3D tiles and IMD materials Export maps as OBJ, IMD and NSBMD View maps in 3D and 2D
What Pokemon DS Map Studio CAN'T do?
Edit already existing maps from the original games Import maps into the game (that is done with DSPRE) Modify game files ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you wanna know, how to use this Tool, check out this Tutorial: https://youtu.be/Xnj8cWDRbaA (An older version of PDSMS was used for this Video) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to run Pokemon DS Map Studio
You will need the following requirements:
Windows or Linux Java 8 (higher versions can be problematic) A graphics card compatible with OpenGL 2
For running the program:
Double click the exe file "PokemonDsMapStudio 2.0.exe" Double click the jar file "PokemonDsMapStudio.jar" If the previous method doesn't work, probably there is one requierement that is not fulfilled.
If you can't run the program after those steps, please, do the following for cheking the error:
Open Windows file explorer and go to the folder where "PokemonDsMapStudio.jar" is located. Type "cmd" in the file explorer's path. That will open Windows command prompt. In Windows command prompt type: "java -jar PokemonDsMapStudio.jar" Then the error message will be displayed in the command prompt. You can share the error message with me for finding a solution.
