A Java version of the popular ndstool program for Nintendo® DS

jNdstool

This tool is the Java version of the popular ndstool by Rafael Vuijk, Dave Murphy and Alexei Karpenko of the devkitPro team (https://github.com/devkitPro/ndstool). It is based upon Martin Korth's DS specifications, which you can find in the original HTML version at http://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm#ndsreference, or in a Markdown version at https://mgba-emu.github.io/gbatek/#ndsreference.

This tool was developed as a library rather than a standalone tool, that's why the provided command line utility is very basic, allowing for full extraction or full build to/from a directory (in contrast, ndstool provides a rich set of command for single file extraction or insertion).

Usage

For extracting a ROM, suppose foo.nds to the foo_extracted directory, launch the JAR by passing the following arguments:

java -jar jNdstool-1.0.jar -x foo.nds -d foo_extracted

For building a ROM foo.nds from the foo_extracted directory, launch the JAR by passing the following arguments:

java -jar jNdstool-1.0.jar -c foo.nds -d foo_extracted
