Homebrew Others I have a question on creating my own N64 to 3DS

[Walegy0569]

Okay, I need a favor of some people who know how to make .n64 to .elf formats. The reason why is because I'm trying to port Banjo-Kazooie to the 3DS. I've been trying to learn how to set up .elf to .cia. So, to any creators out there I can honestly use the help and here are the scripts I've been using to make sure this works. Can someone point for me towards the right direction because, I honestly want to make this happen!

(THESE AREN'T MINE FYI & IN THE BOTTOM I'VE BEEN USING THE CURRENT PROMPT.)

1. #!/usr/bin/bash
   		# Get entry point from N64 ROM
   		dd if=test.z64 bs=1 skip=8 count=4 of=entrypoint >& /dev/null
   		# Convert entrypoint to little endian
   		#mips-elf-objcopy -I binary -O binary --reverse-bytes=4 entrypoint entrypoint
   		# Construct an ELF
   		mips-elf-objcopy -I binary test.z64 -O elf32-bigmips -B mips --adjust-section-vma .data+0x80000000 foo.elf
   		# Patch to MIPS III
   		printf '\x20\x00\x00\x00' | dd bs=1 seek=36 count=4 conv=notrunc of=foo.elf >& /dev/null
   		# Set entrypoint
   		dd if=entrypoint bs=1 seek=24 count=4 conv=notrunc of=foo.elf >& /dev/null
   		rm entrypoint
   		# Dump the headers
   		mips-elf-objdump -x foo.elf

(I've been using Windows Powershell, but if anybody has any suggestions, please comment them down.)​

If there was a way to just convert .z64 to .cia, why would emulators even exist? It would be awesome to convert a .cia to .exe or a .nsp to a .cia and other things like that but that's not possible.

Heck, I'd LOVE a .ipa to .apk converter so iPhones become useless.

Some people like to experience games as they would have been on hardware which emulators allow them to do where some kind of recompile might colour outside the lines too much.

Equally what is on iphone that is not on android?



As for the matter at hand I did make a thread a while back on what such things entail
https://gbatemp.net/threads/can-i-aka-you-as-i-cant-wont-code-port-this-game-to-this-device.576997/ and it says all I would say here and a bit more besides if you did want to head down this path, though I dare say posters prior and I would share a summation of what this is likely to play out as.
