−When [[Homebrew_Channel|HBCb9]] came out, its 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 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.

* This script 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.

−* There ''are'' some [[ELF_to_DOL_Converter#List_of_apps_with_valid_.elf_files | valid .elf files]] out there. Running this script on them will cause them to stop working. Backup your apps folder before you run this.

* The Linux (and Mac?) version has a little bug where if a directory directly under /apps has a space in its name, the script will complain and not look in that directory.
