What are you trying to run? This thread is for PC program. I'm not sure what you're doing.
OHHHH! I'm running homebrew on my 3ds. Sorry!

EDIT: I'm trying to decrypt my .cia file. I think the tutorial is saying to go on HBL and run Decrypt9, but it justs takes me back to the HBL screen. Is there a PC HBL?

Do you have a9lh? People just usually run Decrypt9 as a a9lh payload. I never had success running Decrypt9 with HBL outside of the Guide. There won't be a PC HBL until we have sighax.

When I launch the installed .cia non of the changes have been applied. Is there a fix for this?
Make your CIA with the changes and install that one or use NTR or Luma3DS patching.

The problem is that the changes don't show up. But probably it lies in one of my changes.
Without knowing what you're doing, I don't know. It works. I've rebuilt CIAs and they work. I've made mistakes and made totally broken ones too. You should have all your files loose in folders to rebuild the CIA. I think that's what the program uses for input.

Okay I'll just mess around a bit

I've been having a issue and I apologise if this has already been said but, I've been trying to randomise X and Y. I have a decrypted cia file, I've extracted it with the hackingtoolkit so I have the romfs folder, exefs folder and all that good stuff, moved them 2 to their own folder, edited with pk3ds (trainers and wild encounters randomised), moved the folders back to where they were, rebuilt the cia and installed. Now here's my issue, whilst the trainers mons are randomised, for some reason the wild encounters are not. Also, the game will not start unless I have the update for the game installed so I have no idea what is going on. Think anyone can help me with this?

@Asia81 I like that the new update now asks for Minor and Micro version numbers. Can we also have it ask for Major as well? I'm finding that I still need to rebuild my CIA's with makerom because I cannot input the Major number using your tool like I can Minor and Micro.
