Locking a Game & Watch Device

Why would you want to re-lock a Game & Watch Device? So you can unlock it again!

To lock your device, run:

gnwmanager lock PATH_TO_BACKUP

where PATH_TO_BACKUP is the folder that was generated from a gnwmanager unlock command.

For example:

gnwmanager lock backups-2023-10-25-12-49-51

The actual backup isn't used during the locking process, but gnwmanager will confirm that the backup is valid prior to re-locking the device. This is purely a safety measure.
