Hacking (4.x only) CIA CFW Complete Guide

[CalebW]

Try using this to inject the original decrypted exheader into your repacked rom.

What does this do as makerom should use the decrypted exhearder when compiling?

But is it region locked

If you rebuild a CIA you can remove region lock

What do you mean by rebuilding ?

Calebw could you tell me the command to extract banner.bin and icon.bin?

What does this do as makerom should use the decrypted exhearder when compiling?

Makerom uses the original exheader only as a template. Plus not all settings can be added through the RSF and require a '-desc' argument.

Calebw could you tell me the command to extract banner.bin and icon.bin?

ctrtool -t exefs -exefsdir=dec_exefs decrypted_exefs.bin

As of now this guide requires a 3ds flashcart that allows eShop access, or an eShop game to already be installed on your SD card. I will assume ownership of a Gateway cart, but the steps should be very similar regardless of what cart you own.

why is this bit still there? It is misleading.

 

[Brandon1990]

ctrtool -t exefs -exefsdir=dec_exefs decrypted_exefs.bin

Thanks but it says invalid option --e

 

[Henceforth]

I get stuck here , no matter what i do.

First i try, to install say to install you need to uptade, cancel. The next time every time happends what the image show, didn't install nothing, but if i go to management data,
there is "dev menu" 4 blocks occupeid, but when the console restart, it not more there nothing install. (with the dummy title.db and import.db).

 

[CalebW]

Thanks but i get Could not open input file

Well, obviously you need to change the command to fit your filename.


It's amazing how many people will just copy and paste commands without reading them first.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I'm assuming any roms converted to .cia wouldn't launch either?

I doubt any .cia dumped is fully encrypted/signed correctly as they have to be repacked.

Does anybody know how to make icon, banner, and logo bin files?

Does this only support cci files or can it support cia? (I'm asking this because the program only has .3ds an an extension)

 

[Brandon1990]

Calebw im sorry for not reading well but i dont understand this commands, could you help me extracting the banner and icon .bin?
I extracted exefs bin with makerom but after copy and pasting the command it says ctrtool: invalid option --e and then it shows me all the options

CCI only

 

[CalebW]

CCI only

If you made it could you add cia support as well?

Sorry, my bad. I forgot a dash. Change it to "--exefsdir=dec_exefs"

I'm working on a tutorial for converting roms to CIA files! Should be ready tonight hopefully.

Well that's pretty different. What could be done to CIA fies?

So you'll be taking all the questions now?
