Features

Dump GameBoy Advance cartridges on the original Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite consoles.
Dump Nintendo DS/DSi cartridges on Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS consoles.
Copy, move, delete, rename files/folders and create folders.
Mount the NitroFS for .nds files (allowing you to browse through them), including retail nds files.
Browse files on supported flashcards when running GM9i from the NAND or SD Card. (AceKard 2(i) and R4 Ultra (r4ultra.com))

Installation

Download and extract the file
Copy GodMode9i.nds to your SD card
Most flashcards will see GodMode9i as a retail game, so you may need to launch it from HBMenu or TWiLight Menu++

Changelog

v2.2.0: Goodbye twlnf! (Valentine's Day release)

What's new?

NAND browsing is finally added!
The code is from twlnf (by JimmyZ), but for safety reasons, the NAND write code has been removed, so you won't have to worry about locking out Unlaunch installs/updates, or bricking your console.
This makes GodMode9i a safe alternative to twlnf for NAND browsing!
NOTE: This feature is only available for DSi consoles, and may not work without Unlaunch.
Added direct access for Acekard 2i with Deep Labyrinth banner.

Added NitroFS mounting for other DS(i) ROM filetypes.
