libfat/DLDI-enabled DS BIOS Dumper

with 6 comments

I’m aware that FluBBa and pepsiman have already written BIOS dumpers, but neither of these work well with modern carts (i.e. Slot-1 carts), and no source was available. So I whipped up my own ARM7/ARM9 BIOS dumper that should work on any cart supported by DLDI:

Thanks to Martin Korth for the info on GBATEK, and cearn for helping me with my assembly.

Edit: And right after I posted this I found out about DSBF_dump. Oh well.
