do you know if there is a way to get the source code? or if it's possibile to get it somehow? i know some people got their hands on the source code of a game.

Go work for the game company, hack their server, bribe their employee, etc. You get the idea.

As a newcomer who has been struggling to randomize my pokemon games, this tool and tutorial were amazingly easy to use and understand. Awesome work, I appreciate it!

When i try to rebuild my cia file it says its done but no cia appears.

Disclaimer: I only read the instructions and the first couple of pages. I have never edited a ROM or a CIA file.

I would like to edit (reduce) the contents of a DLC packed as a CIA (Fire Emblem Fates DLC Europe), but on the very first page it is stated that the instructions do not apply to DLC. Would anyone mind pointing me to the right direction?

So just decrypt, replace, and then rebuild it?

Take the Super Famicom version of the game you want, extract its contents, and use the banner.bin from that...? We can't give an exact location of where you can find that as it's copyrighted content.

Ah ok, understood! Sorry for asking for that.

Do someone know how to play out of region games? I can open the game and save the data, but every time I restart the game the save data disappear.

 

[ParzivalWolfram]

Why do I get .BINs? It was stated that I'd get folders. Either I did something wrong while typing 2 letters or the tutorial is wrong. All the names are correct... they're just binary streams instead of folders.

 

[gui710]

It looks like that I can't rebuild my Pokemon Sun .cia, it shows up nothing after rebuilding "success"
EDIT: pkm.cia is the original file that I extracted

 

[jonnytron]

I have the same issue, it does however also massively slow down my computer to the point of freezing. Not sure if this is a similar experience to you and if it could be failing to write the file amidst such issues?

 

[alejakaiser]

All the .cia I rebuild give me the same error
An exception occurred
Processor: ARM11 (core 1)
Exception type: prefetch abort (svcBreak)
Current process: loader (0000000000000000)

and a lot of hex characters. Im just using my pokémon X, Y, Sun and Moon from cartbridge decrypted with godmode9. I extracted it with the HackingToolkit, randomize with pk3ds and rebuilding it with HackingToolkit too. I'm doing something wrong?
