PokéTransporter uses pxi:dev 0x000D0688 to read/write to NDS save files.

However this function have no less than 33 args, and I can't find its backend implementation (which should be more or less documented by savegame-manager).

I know I can just RE PokéTransporter, but I'd prefer to know how this function exactly works.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Wow, this is just amazing

.

This will definitely help when I'm on my computer this evening.

Edit: Started looking at the function. One argument seems to be missing.

If you mean on the wiki page, none of them are missing there.

Yeah, sorry, it just seems that the function sending the sync. request has unused parameters.

EDIT: no, it's just ida having problems with the calling conventions, since I've labeled each of its stack variables/params.

I've managed to get things working (https://github.com/TuxSH/TWLSaveTool/blob/master/source/SPI.cpp) , except for a few things:

* Chips whose JEDEC ID is 0x204013 seem to reject every single PW or SE command, even though WEL=1. This chip is sometimes used for example for Zelda:PH, Pokémon Black2 (maybe the chip used is not the same for everyone, but I doubt it). In fact, even after WEL to 1, it reverts back to 0.

* 512-byte EEPROM chips seem to get stuck in an endless loop waiting for WEL to be 1.

Any idea why?
