Quick explaination of TADs

+TADs are essentially SRLs (NDS ROMs) that have been packaged into an installable format. TADs are very similar to the Wii's WADs, sharing the same offsets and signing. A commit in TwlIPL explains the similarity by showing that TADs were derived from WADs. +

+TAD files are created with maketad from the TWL SDK. Only NAND apps such as DSiWare can be coverted into TADs. +

+Signing in TADs is very important when installing. If a TAD is not signed for the target console (eg. dev signing on a retail DSi) then TwlNmenu will fail. Anything created with the standard maketad will be dev signed and only work on dev units, though there is also a maketad_updater used for updater signing in Twl SystemUpdater. +
