Now copy your ROM image(s) into the root of the SD card, eject the card and place it into your Nintendo 3DS with it turned off.

this is unnecessary, only "ncchinfo.bin" needs to be put on the SD card in "Decrypt9".

Eh, I've been doing it wrong all of this time?!?

How does it get the XORPADS then?

nope, ncchinfo.bin is the only file required to generate XORpads for ROMs. the only reason to copy full ROM images to the SD card is to directly decrypt them (which this converter won't take).

You're right. Damn, I've been wasting a lot of time. Heh.

Also not needed. As long as you can run Decrypt9 somehow (through HBL at 9.2, or a9lh), you can do this.

Could somebody explain what is the meaning of the following lines on the 3DS?

Opening seeddb.bin ...
Could not open seeddb.bin
9.x seed crypto will fail

Does that mean some recent roms will not convert to cia properly?
