What is this?
When HBCb9 came out, they decided that they no longer need to support any .elf in existence at the time. If you have .elf files you need to convert then to .dol with some little program that gets buried in some directory when/if you install devkitPro. This script will automate the task of converting all your stuff.
What do I do?
There are 3 files in this archive. Do whatever you want with the readme.txt, but put the other 2 files in your apps folder on the sd card (you need that sd card reader again :-/). Then just run the elf-dol_fixer.bat file and follow the directions on the screen.
Note!
This deletes the old .elf files after it's done with them. If you want to keep them either back them up beforehand, or edit the script to not erase.
