-All the TAD files in NitroFS have been created with maketad_updater, a modified version of maketad. This uses a different key to encrypt the TADs (normally the Wii dev key is used), so the only way to get the decrypted SRLs is by running the SystemUpdater and then extracting the contents from NAND.

+All the TAD files in NitroFS have been created with maketad_updater, a modified version of maketad. Instead of using the normal Wii development key for encryption, maketad_updater uses the debugger common key (A2FDDDF2E423574AE7ED8657B5AB19D3). As a result these TADs can't be installed with TwlNmenu and can only be decrypted with {{ site.decrypt_tad }}.

Additional ".nand" file

-There another file in NitroFS called menu_launcher.nand (found in NitroFS/data/common/). Judging from the menu-launcher source code in TwlIPL (TwlIPL/trunk/build/nandfirm/menu-launcher/), this appears to be the stage2 bootloader. The .nand file has a version number at the bottom showing that it is SDK 2435, IPL 8325. This is the same as every retail DSi.

Welcome to the DS(i) dev app archive!

+

Welcome to random meaningless characters!

-

This website is aimed at documenting every single Nintendo DS(i) development and factory test program ever released. Many programs have been leaked or dumped, but they're rarely discussed publicly and I worry that they will get lost to time. This site exists to ensure that these apps are always available, along with some documentation. +

This is a work in progress archive of Nintendo DS(i) development and factory software. This is not only a collection of files, but also full documentation to match.

-If you want to support this project, send me programs/documents/information via my email, or join the discussion in my discord server. I'm happy to answer any questions you have (no matter how silly they may be), so don't be afraid to shoot me a message.

Also check out some of my guides and info pages linked in the nav bar! +My archive includes anything used in the production of the DS or DSi (eg. diagnostic and setup tools), software bundled with the SDK, prototype and development software, and any tests used for debugging. +

+I've researched and released a few prototypes though this site, so please get in touch if you've got a development cart/unit in need of dumping. +

+Most of the pages here are written by me and me alone. As such, there's a good chance I'm missing or have incorrect information. If you have time to contribute, please check out the edit button on the top of each page or tell me what's wrong.
