DLC Loader

This loader scans cards with the e-Reader (or in Japan, the e-Reader+) and sends the contents to LinkCard.

Required tools for compiling

  • Windows
  • devkitARM with GCC 14.1.0
  • nedcmake.exe, nevpk.exe, nedcenc.exe, raw2bmp.exe, neflmake.exe
    • Cross-platform versions are available here and here
  • Git Bash or some way to run Unix commands like dd

Compile

# verify tool paths in the `Makefile`!
make clean
make       # USA region, English language
make JAP=1 # JAP region, Japanese language
make JAP=1 ENG=1 # JAP region, English language
#    ^ check that NAME = ローダー and `Makefile` is encoded in Shift JIS

This will generate files named main.bin.0*.bin (the card parts) and also a main.loader file, which you can use to feed LinkCard as the loader.

Encode cards

nedcmake -i testcard.txt -o testcard.bin -type 3 -bin -raw -fill 1 -region 1 -name "Game name"
# region 1 = USA
# region 2 = JAP

Convert cards to BMP for distribution

raw2bmp -i testcard.bin-01.raw -o testcard.bin-01
# generates testcard.bin-01.bmp
