is the dlc flag necessary? (i only tried with, and it did work)
glad you are using makerom

_makerom -f cia -o FantasyLife_DLC.cia -major 0 -minor 0 -major 0 -i 00000000.app:0:0 -i 00000001.app:1:1 worked

_makerom -f cia -o FantasyLife_DLC.cia -major 0 -minor 0 -major 0 -i 00000000.app:0:0 -i 00000001.app:1:1 worked

hmm, i wonder what the dlc flag does then... maybe i'll look in the source.


maybe..
also, you didn't use -target t or something like that? hmm
and you got warnings right? (i think i did)

 

[liomajor]

Only the usual, cia got creaetd.

hmm i THINK, looking at here - https://github.com/3DSGuy/Project_CTR/blob/7c448626578fef596370933751173eaa8be5bb7b/makerom/cia.c
that when you use the dlc flag, it simply flags the cia as 'optional content'.
maybe i'm wrong

_makerom -f cia -o FantasyLife_DLC.cia -major 0 -minor 0 -major 0 -i 00000000.app:0:0 -i 00000001.app:1:1 worked

Does the DLC vanish if you look at it in the system settings on emunand?

no it didn't seem to disappear for me, but i can't say i have tested it extensively

-- oh, yes it does! sorry i thought you were talking about updates.
but thankfully it is easy to reinstall... but yeah the guy i built the dlc for told me that it went away when he checked i think

> content_Optional

Yes you're right.

If i take a look at it in EMUNAND System Settings it doesn't vanish, maybe it's bcuz i own it. (Wlan disabled)

> content_Optional

Yes you're right.

and the next mystery is, what use does that have?

It does if you go to the downloadable content inside the game also, so be careful!!!

oh that's nasty
but at least it's free - well... you paid for it

If my dlc folder is like that :

What should I enter in the makerom command?

makerom -o DLC.cia -major X -minor X -micro X -content 00000000.app:0:0 -content 00000007.app:1:7 -content 00000055.app:2:55 -content 00000055.app:3:101

will work? (I can't test myself)

 

[cearp]

your .apps are 0 7 33 and 65, make sure for 33 and 65 you convert 33 and 65 from hex to dec and put that as the last number after the color for the content.

like 00000065.app:3:101
---
actually, you have the idea right, just some typos lol... be careful

 

[liomajor]

Its always like this:

<editet to check>

 

[VerseHell]

Thanks, so it's like this :

makerom -f cia -o DLC.cia -major X -minor X -micro X -content 00000000.app.out:0:0 -content 00000007.app.out:1:7 -content 00000033.app:2:55 -content 00000065.app.out:3:101

makerom -o DLC.cia -major X -minor X -micro X -content 00000000.app:0:0 -content 00000007.app:1:7 -content 00000035.app:2:53 -content 00000065.app:3:101

That should work, remember that using padxorer would make a file end in .out so you need to add that your command too (00000000.app.out)

 

[liomajor]

A little mistake

-content 00000035.app:2:53

 

[tjexp]

A little mistake

-content 00000035.app:2:53

Woops, nice catch

 

[liomajor]

To wrap it up, for DLC using makerom its:

makerom -o <name of cia>.cia -major X -minor X -major X -content <app-number>.app:<number of content starting by 0>:<app-number-(hex)-to-decimal>

Example:

Version: 0.0.0 / 00000000.app / 00000007.app / 00000035.app / 00000065.app

makerom -o dirty-pants.cia -major 0 -minor 0 -micro 0 -content 00000000.app:0:0 -content 00000007.app:1:7 -content 00000035.app:2:53 -content 00000065.app:3:101
