I had an SD card in my 3DS and after it installed the software I took it out and viewed it, and there is now a "Nintendo 3DS" folder. And if I navigate to "Nintendo 3DS\12c803d0f84c42e7aa9b17f4711219ed\a86e00a147039cac534130320002544d\title\00040000\00054300\content\cmd\" there is a file called "00000001.cmd". And it contains the following:

Code: Select all

.W—•   žLä­?ÄŠƒö!—ûÏšÅë%˜P”U/L='Wò­0P¹é–WÊÿsÑ-Ûøm\Øî†'½ò¯•¿Ã¢.ýä¸ðÅ!ƒØÎ&Úke


Does anyone have a clue what this is even supposed to be?

Nintendo is not Microsoft. For that reason the extension cmd will have a different meaning for the game. It's a binary file, so you can't execute it as a Windows batch file.

Oh. Well that would make sense, but it's weird that they would use a ".cmd" extension. Maybe it's some kind of command, because it's CMD and "command" is the only thing I can think of to go with that.

Well, maybe it's some kind of command for your game. But it's a binary file, so we don't know what it is good for.

Nitt,
There are plenty of instances where on one platform an extension is used one way and completely different on another. The best way would be to decompile the source and work your way backwards until you find yourself with the language and the instructions being executed.
