Dream Radar Cart Redirect is a patch that redirects the saving from a Nintendo DS (NDS) cartridge to a file on the SD card. The patch is designed for the Dream Radar and Pokémon Transporter games, allowing them to use saves from TWiLight Menu++ and nds-bootstrap.

Dream Radar is a game that allows players to obtain level 5 legendary Pokémon in dream balls with hidden abilities and then transfer them to a Black 2 or White 2 NDS cartridge. Pokémon Transporter is used for transferring Pokémon from previous games to newer games.

Installation

Download and unzip the zip file from the latest releases.

The zip will have two folders in it - radar and transporter. Each folder will have two ips patches in it - black2.ips and white2.ips.

Copy the ips patch you want to your SD card.

Pokémon Transporter: /luma/titles/00040000000C9C00/code.ips
Japanese Pokémon Dream Radar: /luma/titles/0004000000073200/code.ips
All Regions Pokémon Dream Radar: /luma/titles/00040000000AE100/code.ips

Ensure you have a save file at /roms/nds/saves/white2.sav, /roms/nds/saves/black2.sav, /roms/nds/saves/black.sav, or /roms/nds/saves/white.sav

If you're using TWiLightMenu, this means having a game at /roms/nds/white2.nds, /roms/nds/black2.nds, /roms/nds/black.nds, or /roms/nds/white.nds

(Note: Black and White are only supported by Transporter.)

Also, make sure that game patching is enabled. You can enable it in the Luma3DS configuration menu by holding the Select button before starting the console.

-====Dumping ====
+(Note: Black and White are only supported by Transporter.)
-# Boot into GodMode9 (if you followed the aforementioned guide, hold start while booting)
-# Open the title manager:
-#* Navigate to <code>[Y:] TITLE MANAGER</code> and press <span class="kbd">A</span><br />
-or<br />
-#* Navigate to <code>[A:] SYSNAND SD</code> and press <span class="kbd">R + A</span> for drive options and select <code>Open title manager</code> on the bottom screen by using the D-pad and then press <span class="kbd">A</span>
+Also, make sure that game patching is enabled. You can enable it in the [[Luma3DS]] configuration menu by holding the Select button before starting the console.
-# Find the entry of the title you want to dump and press <span class="kbd">A</span>, it should have the same folder name as above:
-#* Pokémon Transporter: <code>00040000000C9C00</code>
-#* Japanese Pokémon Dream Radar: <code>0004000000073200</code>

-Success! The dumped <code>.code</code> is now stored on your SD card at <code>SD:/gm9/out</code>. Copy this file over to the repository folder on your computer using your preferred method, e.g. with [[Ftpd 3DS|FTPD]] or by plugging in your SD into your computer. Remember that on Unix and Unix-like environments files with filenames starting with a <code>.</code> are treated as hidden files, so make sure your preferred file browser shows them when trying to transfer the file.
