005tools is a simple command line application designed to work with devices that can transfer game saves from CTR-005 (3DS) and NTR-005 (DS/DSi) game cards to your PC. The source code is platform independent, so it can be compiled to run on any system.

It allows backing up and restoring save games for 3DS/DSi/DS game cards using a device such as the R4i Save Dongle.

User guide

Usage: 005tools [OPTIONS] command filename

info: Display information about the currently inserted game card.

download: Downloads the currently inserted game card's save data and writes it to filename.

upload: Overwrites the currently inserted game card's save data with data from filename

erase: Erase the save data stored on the currently inserted game card

The following options are available:

-s, --save-size=BYTES Override detected save size with BYTES
-h, --output-header=FILE Save game header to FILE
-?, --help Show this help

Please make sure permissions are appropriately set for your device (or use su, if you don't care)

Known Issues

Save detection for some DS cards isn't implemented.

Certain games have a specific flag set in official software, not implemented yet

Cannot write to DS EEPROMs smaller than 1kB (reading does)

Compatibility

Currently, the application only supports the R4i Save Dongle.
