Browse DS storage and back up cartridge saves
GodMode9i browses files on Nintendo DS and DSi systems, copies and renames files, and backs up or restores cartridge saves. It also opens a hex editor and launches homebrew files.
A DS or DS Lite needs a compatible flashcart; which cartridge slot you run it from determines what it can back up. DSi systems need a homebrew setup, with Unlaunch required to dump Slot-1 games to the SD card. Keep a separate backup before restoring saves or editing files.
