ROM Hack [Tutorial] How to Decrypt, Extract & Rebuild 3DS|CIA|CXI Files

[BeowulfsRevenge]

During the converting process i didn't have the seeddb file, do i need to re-do the process with the file or can i just add the file to the file9 folder after the converting process?

Troubleshooting

Before report an issue, be sure:

1. Your 3DS/CIA/CXI files are fully decrypted
2. Your 3DS/CIA/CXI files doesn't have any space or special caracter in their names (such as é or à)
3. To don't write the extension when asking for extract your game. Want extract "Game.cia"? Just write "Game".
4. To have installed the Setup package for your langage.

Try using this guide to get the files: http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial...ent-from-your-own-data-using-godmode9.480794/

And Asia81's guide to repack them into an archive.

This is assuming you have Boot9Strap

My 3DS is almost dead and there is no thing that can fix it...
I'm sure it's a motherboard problem.

These connectors no longer provide enough power.
I tested at the multimeter at work, instead of 4.6V which must pass, there is only 1, even less. So the 3DS can shutdown at any moment.
Otherwise it's in good condition, so it pisses me off...

When the AC adapter and battery are both plugged to the 3DS, it can be lit a bit more, not too long, but it also can shut down at any moment (even if the battery is fully charged).
If I plug the AC adapter into the 3DS without the battery, it's simple, it does not even boot at all.

Fuck life.

If I have to change the name of HackingToolkit3DS, what would you sugger?
I'm updating it to use boot9 keys (so no need to decrypt the file first on 3ds, all on the pc, and it work).
I thought just the the 3DS to 9DS, to the boot9 reference -> HackingToolkit9DS.

If you have any other full name, I'm open to suggestion.

Omg, yes. It works again. (Even better than before.)
Thanks a bunch @Asia81 c:

Why can't I extract the contents of the files? It used to get done with the extraction, but now I can't even do it with the FS2 command. The ExeFS foldr gets created, but it's empty. The RomFS extraction doesn't work at all... Am I doing something wrong?

 

[Asia81]

screen of your folder, where the .exe is?

 

[eworm]

That's all that gets extracted from the moon.cia. No folders are created and, again, the FS2 command does nothing except for the ExeFS, for which it creates an empty folder.
I did install the Setup, before you ask.

EDIT: Okay, so apparently that was only a problem with Decrypt9-made files. The .3ds created with GodMode9 worked just fine. Strange, but problem solved, I guess.

 

[Asia81]

no need to decrypt 3ds cia

 

[AllanSuarez9]

I need help. I downloaded the new folder but it asks for a setup but i dont have it. Help!

 

[Asia81]

Rebuild is properly fixed.
Extract and Rebuild are now fully working with boot9 keys, no need to decrypt anymore.
I will upload the new version soon.

Changelog V11 (09/07/2017)

Comparison before and after the rebuild (without edit of files, just rebuilt as soon it's extracted).
Files are exactly the same.
