seeing as the files are decrypted/edited already, there is no real reason NOT to edit just a tiny bit more and make it region free.
keeping them not region free will not help you in anyway or make the game any different
no need to keep an old version of the program

I would like to have the CIA as closer as a legit one. None of my converted CIA are region free, all EU. And as riku said, the program re-encrypt everything.
Edit: anyway the 3.1 works great, the only thing useful for me in the new release is the download play support, but i can easily use another tool for that few games

This is nonsense, in my opinion. And I have knowledge of inner working and CIA/CCI structure. But feel free to do as you like, whatever.

Version 4.0 is out

Changelog: *SNIP*

Added Download Play support

THANK YOU. This is the one thing that was missing that I was really after. Most of the other tools out there that claim to support this, I can't get to run correctly on my machine. Missing that feature prevented me from converting Mario Party Island tour (which is effectively slicing out the better part of the game).

It would be nice if you could test it with some DP games. I tried building Mario&Sonic 2012 Olympic and Rhythm Tengoku, everything seems building fine and in game I can start sharing DP, but I didn't actually tried connecting to it.

Not sure when I'll have time to do this, but I'll certainly try and do something with this in the near future, if someone else doesn't beat me to the punch.

Because there's no reason not to use it.

I thought that DLC didn't work with region-free patched CIA games...?

dubbz82 · Jun 28, 2015

Possible recommendation for future release - add an option to decrypt all content and rebuild, might be useful for people who mod games?

EDIT: I realize most people wouldn't want to use that, but it'd be nice to have an option to utilize it for those that would want to...

They don't work, but reason is not because they are region-free patched. It happens when you launch game from different region. In other words: there's no difference if you using US region locked games on US system or US region-free patched game on US system, DLC will work in both cases (they won't work only if you launching the same US game on EU/JP/etc system).

I can assure you that this isn't the case. I think you DO however need to use the dlc from the original region of the game though....

EDIT: or what Riku said...

@Riku I've gotten to the same point with Mario Party Island tour now too. Pretty sure it should be good to go, but I'll confirm a little later. Before, it would die out before it even hit the screen to share connections. I suspect we should be good, but it might be a little bit yet before I can get it really correctly tested.

@Riku Download play support? Care to elaborate? I can't wrap my had around the purpose of adding download play to a program that runs on a computer. I'm a bit confused.

Download play is something that exists in a handful of 3ds games where a chunk of the game can be downloaded by others in order to play local multiplayer.

I know what download play is. You misread what I said. I mean how does a program that creates cia on a computer use download play. A pc and a 3ds can't connect like that.

dubbz82 · Jun 28, 2015

didn't misread anything. a good number of the converters out there don't correctly deal with games that have this feature, and actually end up slicing it out when converting, thus the download play features don't end up working correctly.

Wait, now I understand. I didn't know that cia creation add a problem with download play features. I thought "Download pla support" meant the program could use download play to connect to a 3ds to do stuff, which didn't make sense, so that is why I asked.

Correct. There's a handful of converters out there which claim support for it, but from those that I've attempted personally, this is the only one that I can get download play working correctly. The others tend to simply skip over it.

Thank you so much for this awesome tool!

before it was such a hassle to convert, but this tool, made it very simple to do.

i only think it does not work with games that are cryptofixed?

but for the few games i have , it worked perfect . so thanks again!

noctis90210 · Jun 30, 2015

@Riku, sir just want to ask somthing,
the latest version of the program doest have the ability to disable/enable regionfree...

if i dont include the ".exefs_norm.xorpad" while converting.
i can still make a cia that is region locked...
am i right? cuz that file is responsible for regionfreeing the cia right?

cuz i want to remain my converted cia region locked...
