Your dump is not corrupted ? Xorpad too ?

Try to decrypt your EncryptedRomFS.bin manually with :
xor.exe EncryptedRomFS.bin 000400000011CX00.Main.romfs.xorpad (X is 4 for OR and 5 for AS)
Rename EncryptedRomFS.bin.out to DecryptedRomFS.bin

And once it's finished, extract it with :
ctrtool.exe -t romfs --romfsdir=./ExtractedRomFs DecryptedRomFS.bin

If it's still not working, i will see tomorrow

I know this seems like a joking reply, but it seems a little rude.. I mean Asia81 is just trying to help all of us, and it's not like he's getting paid for it. His help is free.
No, no problem with just that, i ask a stupid question too if he have read my tutorial x)

OmegaPikachu Read my MP and tell me if it's working

Oh i did read it. I'm currently decrypting with RxTools.

but yesterday i was able to get the RomFS, and i edited everything with PK3DS.

but when i launched the game, it gets frozen at the black screen after the nintendo 3ds logo.

Yea i posted on the Pk3DS thread asking if he knows...

all i want is this to work. ugh.

Wait, by chance did you get the xorpads and all that from an earlier sysnand version? and then update, whether its emunand 9.0(got xorpads from) to emunand 9.5(current)?

My emunand has been on the current update since the start of the whole process.

What's exactly your problem, guys ?
- Infinite boot on 3DS Logo ?
- Black Screen AFTER the 3DS boot logo ?

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps5 emulation? Why
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I always thought Saturn emulation would straight up be impossible
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just the atchiture is insanely complex
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's why it annoys me when people rant about things being impossible when it comes to software some things should just be focused on more than others
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    because they want to flex their insane developer skills ofc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    We have ps5 exploits where's an article talking about ps5 emulation?

    heres ps4/5
    emulation (it is far from playing actual games yet but its something) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe71pCjC9U
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol
