NDS firmware editing menggunakan Hex Editor
Posted by: setya on: January 2, 2008
ini dia tutorial buat yang pengen mengubah bahasa (Language)dump firmware secara permanen (buat yang dapat firmware dari internet dan bahasa ngga sesuai ama preferensi).sebelumnya cerita dulu ^_^ kenapa mengubah bahasa, well, kita di indo jelas ngga ada bahasanya sih, tapi kan lebih nyaman make bahasa yang kita inginkan di firmware (dimaenin via No$gba) daripada bahasa ngga jelas ^_^ *ku sendiri awalnya dapat dump firmware dari rekan di forum, yang originalnya dari NDS menggunakan setting bahasa perancis, gila aja. beberapa game terpengaruh ama firmware loh (kalo dimaenin make firmware, kalo via emulator) macam picross, meski aku punya versi US, begitu firmware pake perancis, wuih, langsung deh ingame jadi perancis TT_TT
bisa aja dirubah waktu menu diplay lewat emulator, tapi berhubung dump, save ini ga bisa disimpan permanen, jadi tiap mau maen mesti rubah dulu, trus reset, baru klik gamenya buat ngeplay game TT_TT
nah buat kamu2 yang ngga mau selalu repot gitu kalo maen menggunakan bios dan firmware asli, nih solusinya, meski rada susah diawal, tapi mempermudah kalo udah selesai ^_^
- yang pasti harus punya firmware.bin (baca post NDS bios and firmware)
- Buka website : On-line CRC calculation and free library
- buka firmware.bin menggunakan hex editor pilihan kamu (aku sih make winhex)
- browse ke posisi 0×03FE64
- ganti nilai 0×02 (french nih) ke bahasa pilihan kamu(0×00 untuk Japanese, 0×01 untuk English, 0×02 untuk French, 0×03 untuk German, 0×04 untuk Italian, 0×05 untuk Spanish)
- ke posisi 0×03FF64 dan lakukan hal yang sama dengan nilainya
- sekarang salin 70 byte data dari posisi 0×03FE00 (0×03FE00-0×03FE6F) ke website dan generate crc, yang perlu diingat/dilihat hanya CRC-16 (Modbus).sebagai contoh nilai 0×02yang dirubah ke 0×03, akan memiliki nilai crc-16 0xB8A7
- pergi ke posisi 0×03FE72-0×03FE73 dan ganti nilai 0×5A7B dengan nilai yang baru, ingat untuk membalik nilai yang baru, nilai 0xB8A7 diisikan menjadi 0xA7B8.
- sekarang salin 70 byte data dari posisi 0×03FF00 (0×03FF00-0×03FF6F) ke website dan generate crc, yang perlu diingat/dilihat hanya CRC-16 (Modbus). sebagai contoh, nilai 0×02 yang dirubah menjadi 0×03, bernilai 0xEB64
- pergi ke posisi 0×03FF72-0×03FF73 dan ganti nilai 0×9928 dengan nilai yang baru, ingat untuk membalik nilai yang baru, nilai 0xEB64 diisikan menjadi 0×64EB.
- save file
Catatan : kamu juga bisa mengubah nama, tanggal lahir dan setting laen, semua setting ada di area 0×03FE00-0×03FE6F dan 0×03FF00-0×03FF6F. detailnya liat bawah, tapi jangan lupa setelah mengubah nilai, selalu generate crc-16 dan replace nilainya.
English Translation :
- You certainly must have the firmware.bin file (baca post NDS bios and firmware)
- Open the website : On-line CRC calculation and free library
- Open firmware.bin using any hex editor of your choice (i personally recommend winhex)
- browse to adress 0×03FE64
- change 0×02 (if you happen to find bios with teh name alexandre and french language on it) to the language code of your choice (0×00 for Japanese, 0×01 for English, 0×02 for French, 0×03 for German, 0×04 for Italian, 0×05 for Spanish)
- go to adress 0×03FF64 and do the same wthing with the value
- now copy the first 70 byte data starting from adress 0×03FE00 (0×03FE00-0×03FE6F) top the website supplied above and generate crc, one thing need to be note is just the CRC-16 (Modbus). as an example 0×02 that has been changed into 0×03, would have a crc-16 value of 0xB8A7
- go to 0×03FE72-0×03FE73 and change 0×5A7B with the new value, IMPORTANT : reverse the value, for example 0xB8A7 become an entry of 0xA7B8.
- now copy the first 70 byte data starting from adress 0×03FF00 (0×03FF00-0×03FF6F) ke website dan generate crc, yang perlu diingat/dilihat hanya CRC-16 (Modbus). top the website supplied above and generate crc, one thing need to be note is just the CRC-16 (Modbus). as an example 0×02 that has been changed into 0×03, would have a crc-16 value of 0xEB64
- go to 0×03FF72-0×03FF73 and change 0×9928 with the new value, IMPORTANT : reverse the value, for example 0xEB64 become an entry of 0×64EB.
- save file
Catatan : you can also change the name, birth, and any other setting in the address range of 0×03FE00-0×03FE6F and 0×03FF00-0×03FF6F. For detail see below, but don’t forget to generate a new crc and replace teh crc value (see step 7-10)
by the way, if you got bios from my other post here, it’s already in english so no need to change the language, nstead you can try to change the name or other detail ^_^

Really nice to have such helpfull guys floating the web.
January 11, 2008 at 12:02 pm
your welcome 
check out my original NDS bios post (search link on the above post), it already got english firmware.bin
January 12, 2008 at 12:15 am
Sorry if I ask for this, because I’m a little slow…
How do I change a name in a No$GBA Bios.
January 12, 2008 at 12:26 am
well, the one actually can be edit is the firmware not bios ^_^
check the adress 03FE06 and 03FF06
you should get some value like this (in ASCII character) if you use my firmware => S.e.t.y.a or A.l.e.x.a.n.d.r.e if got it from other source.
just change t into your name such as A.z.9.0 chngae the following char with dot (that would be 00 in hex, f you edit the hex not the ascii)
after that don’t forget to change the valuein 03FE1A and 03FF1A with the value represent the number of char use for your name (in the case of Az90 would be 4, dot isn’t count since it would be blank value)
and then, do the steps from 7-11 to change the crc code, without it, your firmware would fail
if you still have some problem, you can write teh detail about yur name and other data you wanna change (such as bith day, language or other) and i’ll try to change it for you in my spare time
January 12, 2008 at 7:23 am
That’s good. I hope you can help me for this. My brother want to get his name for No$GBA, so they get me for help. I can’t do that for him. If you please, can you make it one for him? Here are the details:

I have also problems…
Please set the Language to German and the name to “8dmn”.
January 26, 2008 at 3:37 pm
why dont you try to do it yourself? it’s really easy with this tutorial… I’m not an expert and I’ve never hexed anything before, but it was easier than I expected. just follow the instructions and you cannot fail!
January 26, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Now it worked… The HEX Editor I used haven’t copied 70 Bytes, only 69 
January 27, 2008 at 1:19 am
@mewtwo your welcome
@8dmn be sure to copy all block starting from adress point 3Fx00 to 3Fx6F (where x is E or F), that would give you 70 bytes of data.
@dle333 yup, it wasn’t that hard ^_^ and congrats to be able to edit on your own
January 29, 2008 at 4:36 am
Hi setya,i found this very informative but i’m not that good in editing..so can you please make a bin for me?

sorry, but I think that it’s better to teach how to fish than to give the fish… 
January 31, 2008 at 7:21 am
I followed the instructions, and it still fails…
and btw, i followed them to the letter.
January 31, 2008 at 7:35 am
@dle, lol, yeah that’s right ^_^
@dominion, if you follow it exactly, it wouldn’t fail ^_^ try again.
really pay attention on step 8 to 10
January 31, 2008 at 8:47 am
yes, i reversed the values, and it didn’t work
as a test, i also Checked the CRC of the original 70 bytes, and it was correct.
After changing the 70bytes, checking the CRC again, and putting that in, i get the nintendo DS bootscreen, and it tells me i have to input my nickname, date/time etc.
January 31, 2008 at 8:56 am
can the english steps be clarified further, the sooner i can get this worked out, the sooner a Firmware Editor can be moade.

January 31, 2008 at 10:21 am
ok, never mind, i’ve sorted it out, and it looks like the program can be done now.
January 31, 2008 at 9:39 pm
im having with the birthday its 29 when i change the values the ASCII text change to ) so the bios doesnt work, can you tell me how to work this out
January 31, 2008 at 9:52 pm
for birthday, change the value in hex column, with another hex value. instead of 29, use 1D.
teh same goes for any other value, use hex value.
for text, it’s different, simply change the text using ACSII char, in text column
January 31, 2008 at 9:58 pm
nah forget about it, figure it out i just use the hexdecimal of 29
than 29 itself, haha txt for the tut
January 31, 2008 at 10:07 pm
i mean 6 mins, that gotten throuh my head,gah flooding it sorry
January 31, 2008 at 10:09 pm
lol, i did post it at that time ^_^
i’m online right now, so i often check my blog for comment while i’m on it
February 1, 2008 at 9:31 pm
mau tanya nih. salam kenal dari saya. setya mengenai 70 byte data yang disalin itu. apa ditulis semua dari 0×03FE00 sampai 0×03FE6F atau digimanain? saya coba ke CRC on-line calculator kan ada ASCII or HEX mana yang dipilih dan berapa nilai yang mau dimasukan. klo pake contoh dari firmware stya. terima kasih banyak.
February 2, 2008 at 4:10 am
Yes! Thank you! at last I managed to edit the firmware, I had problems with the birthday and favorite color but I managed to solve them by reading what you said about the hex values for the birthday number ^^
February 2, 2008 at 9:21 am

someone currently making an editor for firmware.bin (so no direct hex editing would be needed anymore), let’s just wait for that co finish ^_^
my jobs are killing me at the moment, rarely have spare time lately ( and i use most of them to rest now)
February 4, 2008 at 10:34 am
Now isn’t that funny? now that Setya, me and the few others who managed to get around to edit the firmware, some starts to develop an editor, then again it will be useful when we get bored of our current settings and wish to change it without have to go again all the way on the hex editing XD
February 4, 2008 at 10:53 am
yup got that right ^_^
a guy named mudlord currently doing it, so for others who can’t (afraid) to mess arround with hex editor could simply click a few buttons to make it all happen
for me, i like coding, hex, binary, but then again, if there’s something easier, why not ^_^
hopefully mudlord get it done soon ^_^
February 5, 2008 at 9:43 am
yes, Mudlord is making a editor based based off rewritten steps i sent him for the functions.
February 5, 2008 at 10:55 am
Hi there,
Thanks for the detailed listing of file offsets. It really is helpful .
February 5, 2008 at 1:47 pm
hi there mudlord
can’t wait for your app to be done mudlord ^_^
February 5, 2008 at 2:38 pm
I’m currently working on it now as I write this. All byteswapping and CRC16 code is done, all I need to do is do more bugfixes on the actual patching…
February 5, 2008 at 3:06 pm
nice progress ^_^
let me know when you’re finish it already.
and with your permission, if allowed, i wanna post/host it on this blog (certainly, credit goes to you) ^_^
February 7, 2008 at 7:57 am
@Bouba1: Yeah, I will do it when I get a spare moment.
@setya5785: Another update. I worked out exactly how to do the CRC16 check on the bytes when finalising the file. Seems the answer was in front of me the whole time (fseek(), and fread()) =p. So, once I implement these checks, development should be much easier. I hit into a problem though. Because of the strings use UTF-16, my patcher will most likely not work on Windows 2000, XP, or Vista, because the program uses Unicode file handling routines to write those strings.
Other than that, things are smooth sailing.
February 7, 2008 at 7:58 am
last remark: I meant it will most likely only work on Windows 2000, XP , or Vista
February 7, 2008 at 2:41 pm
nice progress ^_^
well it’s not such a bad thing to only work in microsoft family since that the most likely used OS, and since the one really can use this firmware is nocash (which is only available on windows and dos) so not a problem, i guess ^_^
let’s just hope this one also work nicely via wine (linux) or darwine (mac os) 
wish you the best for your next progress ^_^
February 7, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Got another update, string writing now should work on Windows 98/95/whatever. I worked out a simple hack to add 0×20 after each letter is written, so that entering letters works flawlessly, as Unicode is just a extension on ASCII. Although, with this method, special character input (like kanji) won’t work.
But at least its a start.
February 7, 2008 at 5:36 pm
nice ^_^
maybe i’ll put up a post for your app’s project right now ^^
to put your update/progress there ^_^

February 15, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Wow, I’m a complete idiot. I had tried to do this before you translated into english and wasn’t quite clear on the copying of the 70 byte hex values. I was adding them together, not putting them all in, as is, in order into the crc checker. Once I realized what I was doing wrong and did it how you’re supposed to, it worked out fine. Thanks for the great guide!

no need to look for RAM address, as that would only apply if you monitor real DS ram
only look for the offset on hex editor, i’ll get to it in week end, maybe, kinda busy on school days

February 29, 2008 at 5:03 pm
HEy, can u tell more specificly how to change using winhex….
i quite lost. when i open the firmware, i didn’t find 0×03FE64
HElp!~
hey what give the idea to do like this??
Good luck!~
February 29, 2008 at 8:37 pm
@magnum…
that’s the file offset (on left pane just beside hex code, conside rthis as line number to make it simple, in default, at top, you’ll also get a number from 0-9 and then A to F. so to get to 0×03fe64, read the ‘line number’ on the left and look for 0003fe64 (don’t mind how many zero are hey in front of those number), after you locate this one, see the hex under row 4, that’s 0×03fe64 is
if you only get numbers (without any letter on ofset pane) just click it to see ofset in hex mode (not desimal mode)
good luck to you to ^_^
ehm.. the idea struck when i played using real NDS firmware, i don’t have my own DS, so i got one on the net, and apparently, the one ‘lurking’ on the net is the spanish (if not mistaken) firmware (already set in spanish) owned by alexandre. so i look arround for some detail on the firmware and got it spec, and then do some editing so i can have an english version of my own so, i wrote what i did here so if anyone else wanna do the same thing, they can do it as easy as following this tutorial

i see…scanning his codes,i guess some of the address pinpointing is off…cant pinpoint where it is in the code though…
March 12, 2008 at 9:14 am
in my case, i can’t compile his code (i’m using VS2008). need to adjust some of the code.
but anyway, i’m still happy with my hex editor so i don;t really want to botherusing any tool, not really gonna edit my firmware too often anyway, in fact never, well unless there’s someone want their firmware edited here ^_^
March 13, 2008 at 9:58 am
i see,i guess that’s where you’ll have to manually include a library in the project…it’s not included in the project file so when compiling,it gets an error since it is looking for it.
March 13, 2008 at 1:11 pm
probably, i forgot tehe exact error in my compiling. didn’t touch that code again since

Maybe this will be helpful, or maybe not…
How about programming a GUI where you enter variables into their respective fields so everyone can customize their own firmware? Sorry if this is harder than I thought, it is just a suggestion.
You could also just put a John Doe firmware, with 01/01/88 bday, grey and english.. Not that your info is bad, but it is your personal info, not a general info… I think.
Or you could accept my request, this is also excellent!

not really interested in progamming a GUI
ehm.. about that info, well, maybe a john doe firmware won’t be a bad idea, but then a again, even though my default firmware up there contain my personal info, it’s not that personal only my name and birthday, nothing really important
okay, i’ll put yours on my list, i’ll get it done with teh other 2 above you the next day
*just re-install my OS, so, not all my apps back yet
March 24, 2008 at 2:47 am

Ok, I have enough patience to wait it….
thanks.
Until then, may I ask few questions:
where am I supposed to find
FW Offset: 0×03Fx06
or RAM address: 0×027FFC86 in the winhex?
even tho I might get one from you, I’d like to learn how to use it so I don’t have to request you again when I need to change some.
March 26, 2008 at 3:07 pm
gimana cara buka tuh scrip tiap game2 nds?
biar bisa blajar bahasa programnya gitu..bales ke emailku yach..
penting nih soalnya…
March 26, 2008 at 4:08 pm
@Naman… wait till the end of weekend
@captain-J, thankz for being patient till weekend
about that address
0×03Fx06
ds firmware write data on 2 place between 0×03FE[x][x] and another mirror on 0×03FF[x][x]
so when i say 0×03f[x]06, look at 0×03FE06 and 0×03FF06
(or simply at address 03FE06 and 03FF06 since hex app rarely include 0x in front ofset)
ram address refer to nds ram address, so nothing to be worried for just look at hex offset of your firmware file.
@arezz tiap rom beda2, ehm.. mungkin kamu bisa baca halaman patch tales of innocence, udah ada yang eprnah nanya dan aku udah jawab di komen2 terakhir tapi itu berhubungan dengan patch.hack translasi aja.
kalo mau belajar pemrograman game/nds harus belajar lewat cara laen, bisa kamu dissaebler kode game ke bahasa assembly tapi kamu harus belajar assembly dulu ::( khususnay untuk ARM.
coba search devkitpro dan PaLib, tuh digunakan untk pengembangan homebrew aplikasi DS, ga ada hubungan ama post diatas ini loh
March 27, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I see…. I think I understood about reading the hex value so far. Thanks for the response.
But I don’t still get the part 7.
do you like mean drag the whole 00s 4As and stuffs between the offset values you mentioned to copy and paste on the text box of the website you told us?
and I don’t get part 8 neither, because, to me, only thing I could change in the hex programs is bunch of 00s or AAs some two alphanumerical values but nothing like 0×5A7B to reverse it.
I only see things like on the screen:
Offset | twin alphanumerical values | text |
0003FE00 | 05 00 00 07 05 00 43 00 61 00 70 00 74 00 61 00 | . . . . . . C . a . p . t . a . |
something like that.
Hopefully that made sense – if it doesn’t, I’ll just shut up and wait till weekend :S
March 28, 2008 at 12:30 pm
@caoatin, yes drag and copy hex value and paste on that site (don’t forget to specify as hex, not ascii) and then generate crc.
you’ll get some crc, teh one you need gonna be crc-16 modbus, you’ll get 4 char right let’s say AB CD
when you put it back to your file in hex, you must flip those value before writing it down, so AB CD gbecome CD AB, so you change your firmware fiel at the offset i mention to become CD AB (not AB CD as you get from that site).
well, like you said, if you don;t get it, wait till weekend

I’m the one who provided and I think that mullord can get up some hint from it to complete his editor.
It’s not completed and only changes name, colour, language and birthdate but no other option like alignment of GBA screen in Touch or main one.
Neither an option for the welcome message.
