Title: Brian's NDS Rom Manager - BNDSRM
Post by: XVicarious on April 07, 2011, 11:53:18 pm

First off... I DO NOT SUPPORT PIRACY. Only use ROMs of game you own!

Brian's NDS Rom Manager

BNDSRM is a manager for your R4, R4i, Supercard etc.

With BNDSRM you can send (and trim) your ROMs to your card, and backup/send saves to and from your computer and media.

Remember, this program is in a beta phase right now (maybe even lower, I usually don't bother with that version stuff... Hard to really tell your progress :P).

WARNING! If you trim a ROM as of now, WiFi data *might* get removed! Disable this in settings if you don't want to risk losing the ability to connect to WiFi! I am currently working on a trimming system right now! Just wait!

Right now, it is programmed in Visual Basic 2010... I'm about to port it to Visual C++ (cause I like C++ better).

Next Release (v0.4.9):

+ Very very basic homebrew support

Two Releases (v0.5):

+ ROM information (including Icon maybe :D)
+ Auto installing your firmware (must provide a zip, rar file) (proving to be hard to do... Depending on how you want to install... Like Wood R4 if you use it as main OS, you don't need the nds...)
+ Completely rewritten in C#

Future (before or at v1.0):

+ interface improvements
   + display how big your current library is
   + how much space you have left on your card
+ Customize interface
   + Move where the library viewing box is
   + move the treeview
+ Game Cover/Info
+ SimpleTrans
   + Simplified version of BNDSRM
   + One side is library, other is card
   + buttons in between, to and from (from only works with SAVs!)
   + Backup all saves with one button

Known Bugs:

- Program will crash if settings are not set, or directory does not exist
- SD Card format does not go to page

Looks pretty cool! I'll use this as soon as I find my flash cart :P
Also, if you want to know about version control, I typically use 0.x for all pre-releases (incrementing x every public release), and the release that mostly works is alpha. The version I think works completely is beta, and any bugs that turn up in beta are fixed and 1.0 is born. From there, it is X.Y, where Y increases every public update, and X starts from an almost completely new codebase.
