+This is a Python cli clone of Sky3DS DiskWriter, written for Linux and OSX machines.
-Hey there,
+Note that there may be some flaws so use with caution.
-I'm currently working on a Python version of DiskWriter to be able to use it on Linux and OSX machines.
+==User guide==
+This requires Python 3 to use, and it depends on [https://github.com/coagulant/progressbar-python3 python-progressbar] and the appdirs package.
-Not sure if anyone attempted this before, I wasn't able to find much information on how DiskWriter stores data to the sd-card, so I had to figure out most by just looking at hexdumps of my sd-card.
+See also [https://gbatemp.net/threads/sky3ds-diskwriter-python-clone-for-linux-osx.377700/post-5612828 this guide by fspaniol].
-The tool is actually already working. Under OSX it can't detect the disksize (yet), but I am working on that. If you know how to do things in python you can hardcode the size and this tool will work!

-Things I still want to improve: 3dz unique-id import (instead of using the data from template.txt), unique-id re-import on savegame import. Both should be relatively easy, I just didn't really need those features yet, so I didn't do that work.
