How do I extract images from a game?
For example: extracting RPG character faces/busts where the image is not pixelated, it has pixel shadows.

This thing just seems to be abandoned despite all the people like myself who can't get it to work. My CIA file meets all the requirements but nothing happens at all when extracted.

You can try my tool with more modern librarys:
(also contains a gui)

Hey i have a question if i try to rebuild the romfs to a cia after i extacted the cxi it says an error to me what is on the path of VC Redist.
than i reinstalled VC redist but nothing changed it allways says that a file for makerom.exe is not found. can someone help me?

Edit: when i try to use my clean cia and make it into an 3ds file the file is blank and with 0 kbs. could it be because win11?

Tried to extract the CIA for Pokémon X, renamed it to have no spaces, had it in a separate folder from the core files, didn't put the extension when I typed it up, and it doesn't extract anything. It speeds through the whole process and no files are outputted. There's a file labeled "Extracted_" but it's empty.

No, actually. My CIA file is named "pkmnx.cia" When prompted, I typed "pkmnx"
