Dump DSi NAND w/ nocash footer

Directions: Just boot the dumpTool.nds app and press A. It will dump a nand.bin with nocash footer to your dsi at DT010203040A0B0C0D/nand.bin The folder will be next to wherever you put dumpTool.nds. And obviously, your foldername will have different characters. It's console-unique.

General Info: This tool should create a nand.bin identical to fwTool.nds 2.0. The same holds true for its nand.bin.sha1 file as well. If this isn't the case in your neck of the woods, please make an issue :) (note that identical nands can only occur if both app's output are compared in the same hbmenu session; booting to dsi home menu in between will undoubtably change NAND contents)

Features:

  • Completely open source.
  • Lots of checks, including verifying the nocash footer will decrypt the outputed NAND. Low battery and insufficient SD space are also checked.
  • Project has a permissive license, and more importantly, its dev is permissive. I don't care what's done with this post-release as long as credit is given.
  • Simple operation. Just press A and watch it go.
  • You can cancel the dump in progress. The incomplete nand will be cleaned up.
  • A little bit faster than fwTool. Should complete in about 7 minutes.
