When [[Homebrew_Channel|HBCb9]] came out, they decided that they no longer needed to support any invalid .elf files. 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 [[devkitPPC]]. This script will automate the task of converting all your stuff. It even comes with that little program so you don't need to install the entire devkitPPC.

When [[Homebrew_Channel|HBCb9]] came out, it's authors decided to no longer support any invalid .elf files. This change was made with little, if any, notification given to users or authors. If you had invalid .elf files, you were screwed, unless you converted them to .dol format with some little program that got buried in some directory when/if you installed [[devkitPPC]]. This script was written to automate the task of converting all your stuff. It even comes with that little program so you don't need to install the entire devkitPPC.

'''Note:''' old devkiPPC releases had broken ELF support and applications should '''not''' have been distributed as elf files. Modern versions of devkitPPC produce valid elf files that are acceptable as well as dol files. This is only for old releases where the author ''did'' give out an elf.

'''Note:''' old devkitPPC releases actually had broken .elf support and applications should '''not''' have been distributed as .elf files. Modern versions of devkitPPC produce valid .elf files that are acceptable as well as .dol files. This script is really only for old .elf releases where the author has yet to release a valid .elf or .dol.
