    Improving everyone's favorite online download list, one loop at a time.

  • PSP: If you can buy the game on PSN you can use the PSDLE browser add-on (https://repod.github.io/psdle/) to generate a download link of any games you buy which will then be downloaded directly from Sony. Then a quick trip through a tool called the PSN package decryptor will give you your ROM.

  • GodMode9

    GodMode9 Explorer - A full access file browser for the Nintendo 3DS console :godmode:

  • DS/3DS: A modded 3DS with godmode9 (https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9) will work for both. There's also a USB peripheral called a NDS cart ripper but requires a PC with non-eufi BIOS an secure boot turned off to load the driver. Simply hold start/select on startup of the modded system, go down to the came cart, and choose to extract a trimmed copy of the game to your SD card.
