Twl SystemUpdater is a tool used to update DSi development hardware such as the IS-TWL-DEBUGGER or a panda. This does not work on retail units, causing the same <code>-2011</code> error as <a href="/dsidev/twlnmenu.html">TwlNmenu</a> and bricking the console.
|
||
<h2>TADs in NitroFS</h2>
|
||
Twl SystemUpdater works by loading a set of firmware TADs and <a href="https://dsibrew.org/wiki/Nand:/shared1/TWLCFG0.dat" target="_blank">TWLCFG0.dat</a>/<a href="https://dsibrew.org/wiki/Nand:/shared1/TWLCFG1.dat" target="_blank">TWLCFG1.dat</a> from NitroFS to install onto the target hardware. The updaters are multi-region, so each one contains full sets of firmware TADs for every region. If a different region is installed, HWInfo will be updated accordingly. The TADs are sorted into three main folders.
|
||
<br><br>
|
||
<b><code>NitroFS:/data/debugger/</code></b><br>
|
||
These TADs are for the IS-TWL-DEBUGGER.<br>
|
||
<code> - HNAx</code>, Home menu<br>
|
||
<code> - HNBx</code>, System settings (this was removed in v1.2 of the SystemUpdater)<br><br>
|
||
<b><code>NitroFS:/data/standalone/</code></b><br>
|
||
These TADs are for the DSi panda unit.<br>
|
||
<code> - HNAx</code>, Home menu<br>
|
||
<code> - HNBx</code>, System settings (this was removed in v1.2 of the SystemUpdater)<br><br>
|
||
<b><code>NitroFS:/data/common/</code></b><br>
|
||
These are TADs that are common between both the IS-TWL-DEBUGGER and panda units.<br>
|
||
<code> - HNIx</code>, Nintendo DSi Camera<br>
|
||
<code> - HNKx</code>, Nintendo DSi Sound<br>
|
||
<code> - HNLx</code>, Version Data<br>
|
||
<code> - HNCx</code>, WiFi Firmware<br>
|
||
<code> - HNDx</code>, DS Download Play<br>
|
||
<code> - HNEx</code>, PictoChat<br>
|
||
<code> - HNHx</code>, Nintendo DS Cart Whitelist<br>
|
||
<code> - <a href="/dsidev/nandfiler.html">NandFiler</a></code> (optional install)<br>
|
||
<code> - <a href="/dsidev/twlnmenu.html">TwlNmenu</a></code> (optional install)<br><br>
|
||
The SystemUpdater chooses whether to install from the <code>debugger</code>or <code>standalone</code> folder based off of the RAM size. 16 MB is TWL CONSOLE (panda and IS-TWL-CAPTURE), while 32 MB is IS_TWL_DEBUGGER.<br><i> - Source: <a href="https://wiki.raregamingdump.ca/index.php/SystemUpdater" target="_blank">RGD</a></i>
|
||
<br><br>
|
||
All the TAD files in NitroFS have been created with <code>maketad_updater</code>, a modified version of <a href="/dsidev/man/maketad.html" target="_blank">maketad</a>. Instead of using the normal Wii development key for encryption, <code>maketad_updater</code> uses the debugger common key (<code>A2FDDDF2E423574AE7ED8657B5AB19D3</code>). As a result these TADs can't be installed with TwlNmenu and can only be decrypted with {{ site.decrypt_tad }}.<br><br>
|
||
<h2>Additional stage2 file</h2>
|
||
There another file in NitroFS called <code>menu_launcher.nand</code>. This is the stage2 bootloader used in every development DSi.
|
||
<h2>Source code</h2>
|
||
There are multiple versions of the SystemUpdater source code in TwlIPL.<br><br>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><a href="{{ site.twlipl }}/tree/trunk/build/systemMenu_tools/SystemUpdater">SystemUpdater</a>: a limited SystemUpdater which is only able to install the region free/prototype firmware.</li>
|
||
<li><a href="{{ site.twlipl }}/tree/trunk/build/systemMenu_tools/SystemUpdaterRegionSelect">SystemUpdaterRegionSelect</a>: the SDK release of the SystemUpdater which allows installing multiple regions.</li>
|
||
<li><a href="{{ site.twlipl }}/tree/trunk/build/tests/CustomSystemUpdater">CustomSystemUpdater</a>: similar to the limited SystemUpdater, but it allows for installing different single regions.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
In an <a href="{{ site.twlipl }}/tree/670a75721d822ccce8502451b15d73ef1ba16d93/build/systemMenu_RED/SystemUpdater/data">old commit</a> of the SystemUpdater's source code there is a complete v1206-5614 firmware.
