TinkeDSi is a program to view, convert, and edit the files of NDS(i) games. You can view a lot of file format like images, text, sounds, fonts and textures. Furthermore it works with plugins made in NET Framework languages (C# and VB.NET) so it's so easy to support new formats.
To run the program you must have installed .NET Framework 4.5 or mono. In the case of mono on Linux, make sure you have installed the package mono-locale-extras too. For Mac, you need mono and pkg-config installed and configured, you'll use mono32 to exec Tinke.
- Show the ROM header with the banner and edit it. (Support edit and/or fix DSi banner)
- Show and convert to common format a lot of files.
- Edit a lot of image files from BMP files (NCLR, NCGR, NSCR, NCER), audio files from WAV (SWAV, SWAR, STRM) and fonts (NFTR).
- Hexadecimal viewer.
- Change the content of the files and save the new ROM. (Support change files by dir)
- Multilanguage support.
- A way to fix DSi header. (Then you can import arm9/7i file to fix "DSi binary file is missing" error for romhacks and/or bad dumps)
- How to fix "DSi binary file is missing" error?
- Step 1: Open "good dump" with TinkeDSi, then export iheader file on ROM info window and export arm9/7i.bin files on nitrofs window.
- Step 2: Open "bad dump" and import iheader on ROM info window, then save the ROM as a new file.
- Step 3: Open the new ROM file, replace arm9/7i.bin on nitrofs window then save the ROM.
You can help translate TinkeDSi on Crowdin. If you'd like to request a new language be added please open an issue for that.
