PUBLIC BETA
Beta 0.1.11
A portable Windows toolbox for Wii, GameCube, and Nintendo 3DS libraries. Scan, convert, verify, and prepare disc images, or open the included 3DS Forge workspace. Supports compatible game files inside ZIP archives.
Windows · 64-bit · Portable ZIP · 184.6 MB (176 MiB)
A 64-bit Windows PC, your own game files, and enough free disk space for extraction, conversions, and temporary game files.
The main app and 3DS Forge are packaged executables. No separate Python, Node.js, npm, pip, Dolphin, Wii Backup Manager, or GameCube Backup Manager installation is needed.
DolphinTool, Wiimm’s ISO Tools, and the 3dsconv conversion engine are included.
For encrypted 3DS conversions: supply your own boot9.bin or boot9_prot.bin dump and select it in Forge. These files are not included.
For retro injections and the NSUI CIA-editing handoff: separately supply New Super Ultimate Injector (NSUI) and configure its location. The legacy conversion shortcut also needs 3DS Simple CIA Converter if you choose to use it.
To use prepared files on a console, you need an appropriately configured console and SD/USB device, with the loader or homebrew setup for that workflow. This download does not set up your console.
Before you start
Extract the entire ZIP to a folder you can write to. Keep every file and the resources folder together; do not run the app from inside the ZIP or move only the EXE.
Open Jester’s Nintendo Manager.exe, then choose Wii + GameCube Backup Manager or Nintendo 3DS Forge.
In Forge, open Settings before your first job. This beta includes preset H:, I:, and F: paths from the build machine. Replace tool, output, and SD-card paths with the correct locations on your PC. Confirm the destination drive before writing files.
Optional tools shown in Settings, such as makerom, ctrtool, and bannertool, are not bundled in this ZIP. Supply and configure them only for workflows that need them.
This is a beta release. Keep backups of your source files and check the selected output device.
