Add restoring a NAND backup page #37

Closed Epicpkmn11 closed 3 years ago

Note: This is a draft since I need to

I have a preview of this (not technically this branch, I had to make some additional changes in master to get it working at this link) at https://pk11.us/dsi.cfw.guide/restoring-nand

Any feedback is appreciated, I will make this non-draft once I have sorted the issues mentioned above.

So what's the plan with this?

Epicpkmn11 commented 3 years ago

Oh yeah, kinda forgot about this... Just read through it and it looks alright to me I think, just the two issues in the first post, and the hard mod section just says TODO right now...

For the linux hex editor we could prolly just remove that line, linux users can prolly look up hex editor on their own if their distro doesn't come with one For hardmodding, maybe just link to https://web.archive.org/web/20151102221503/https://gbatemp.net/threads/dsi-downgrading-the-complete-guide.393682 for now? For fwTool 1.6 I'm not really sure what's best...

Updated TODO:

Not directly this PR but related things:

Peter0x44 commented 3 years ago

I think the bios dumper Arisotura provides for melonDS should be good https://melonds.kuribo64.net/downloads/dsibiosdumper.7z

Epicpkmn11 commented 3 years ago

Just tested, yep those dumps seem to work

Peter0x44 commented 3 years ago

I'll add instructions for using it then

Epicpkmn11 commented 3 years ago

Is this done? Marked it ready for review as I think it is

Peter0x44 commented 3 years ago

the build of dsibiosdumper provided still hasn't been updated, so we can either just merge it and prompt arisotura or host it ourselves

Epicpkmn11 commented 3 years ago

Ah yeah, honestly probably fine to just merge and maybe ping Arisotura about it again or something
