As news of the 7z2nds converter spread, gamers and developers began to take notice. A community formed around the tool, with users sharing their own converted games and demos. Alex received messages from enthusiasts worldwide, thanking them for making these obscure games accessible.
One evening, as Alex was about to give up, they stumbled upon an open-source 7z library for C++ and an NDS file format specification. The pieces began to fall into place. With renewed energy, Alex started coding a converter.
The internet yielded no results for a "7z to nds converter." Frustrated but not defeated, Alex decided to take matters into their own hands. They began researching the 7z compression format and the NDS file structure, determined to create a converter.
The 7z2nds converter also caught the attention of a few prominent homebrew developers, who integrated the tool into their workflows. One such developer, a renowned creator of NDS homebrew games, contacted Alex to collaborate on future projects.
