TwlNmenu
TwlNmenu is a title manager similar to DevMenu for 3DS. TwlNmenu can install programs in the TAD format, which is an installable format created by Nintendo, similar to the Wii's WADs.
What's this "TAD" thing?
"The installable format, TAD share many similarities to the WAD format, including the same offsets for title ID's and using the same devsign as WADs. A TAD can be resigned using Wii resigning tools and a RVL devkey. However, due to TwlNmenu's anti-tampering methods, the tool lets you not install resigned TAD files." - RGDWiki
TADs are essentially SRLs (NDS ROMs) that have been packaged into an installable format. TAD files can be created with maketad.exe, from the TwlSDK (TwlSDK/tools/bin/maketad.exe). Only apps that are installed to the 00030004 folder are able to be converted to TAD
Note: DO NOT install TADs on a retail DSi.
Attempting to do so will just result in a -2011 error, due to the TAD being unsigned. Resigning the TAD will not work as TwlNmenu protects against this. Additionally, TwlNmenu will OVERWRITE WHAT IT'S TRYING TO INSTALL, so if it fails, your apps may be deleted.
How can I safely run a TAD?
To run a TAD on retail hardware, you have to decrypt it and extract the SRL. You can use this python script to do so. Usage is python3 decrypt_tad.py [path to file].tad Rename the SRL to NDS, and it should work in emulators or on real hardware.
