Using your rsf file and switches I found earlier in this thread for ALBW, I get an error when install the cia.

And all your files were named correctly to match the switches, or you modified the filenames in the switches to match your own?

Yes, I'm not a noob that just copies commands without reading them.

I was simply covering bases, didn't intent to insult.

Having issues changing games from cart 1 to cart 2, for save transfer.

In other news,
my rsf that worked for Pokemon X, which can also go online! hehe
(in spoiler)

Code:

BasicInfo:

  ProductCode            : "CTR-P-EKJA"
  ContentType            : Application
  Logo                    : Nintendo

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I've been in your shoes before not knowing if the other person is smart enough to do the most basic steps.

No harm done, everyone snaps sometimes, especially when they're frustrated.

Try this instead:

Code:

BasicInfo:
  Title                  : "Cave Story 3D"
  CompanyCode            : "01"
  ProductCode            : "CTR-P-ACVE"
  ContentType            : Application # Application / SystemUpdate / Manual / Child / Trial
  Logo                    : Licensed # Nintendo / Licensed / Distributed / iQue / iQueForSystem
 
TitleInfo:
  UniqueId                : 0x04a1
  Category                : Application
 
Option:
  UseOnSD                : true # true if App is to be #installed to SD
  EnableCompress          : true # Compresses exefs code
  FreeProductCode        : true # Removes limitations on ProductCode
  EnableCrypt            : false # Enables encryption for NCCH and CIA
  MediaFootPadding        : true # If true CCI files are created with padding
 
AccessControlInfo:
  ExtSaveDataId: 0xb04a1 # same as UniqueId
  SystemSaveDataId1: 0x0004a100 # plaintext exheader
  SystemSaveDataId2: 0x0004a100 # plaintext exheader
  OtherUserSaveDataId1: 0x4a100 # plaintext exheader
  OtherUserSaveDataId2: 0x4a100 # plaintext exheader
  OtherUserSaveDataId3: 0x4a100 # plaintext exheader
  UseOtherVariationSaveData : false
 
SystemControlInfo:
  SaveDataSize: 1M # plaintext exheader
  RemasterVersion: 0 # plaintext exheader
  StackSize: 0x00040000 # plaintext exheader
  JumpId: 0x000400000004a100L # plaintext exheader (<full UniqueID>L)

With these switches:

Code:

makerom -f cia -rsf cia.rsf -target t -desc app:1 -icon icon.bin -banner banner.bin -exefslogo -code code.bin -exheader decrypted_exheader.bin -romfs decrypted_romfs.bin -o CaveStory.cia

Of course, edit to fit your filenames.

And use the latest MakeROM, found here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/868d8yykqjsequ1/CTR.rar

Still nothing, I always get an "SD card removed" error when trying to launch my CIAs, it's kind of frustrating. It may be my version of makerom, the one you linked is 64bit though, I have a 32bit Computer.

I'll recompile a 32bit version, give me a few minutes.

I don't have the Japanese version myself, but I can try it with my US cart. I'll let you know if I get it working.

Mine's US, I just changed the CIA name. If you get it working please give detailed instructions, because I can't figure this out for the life of me. Thanks for helping me.

It works fine with the CFW.

Thanks, I got Pokémon Y to work with your RSF file (edited slightly to reflect Y instead of X). Wish I could grab the new 1.3 patch..Oh well.

Edit: Trying to save forces Pokémon Y to close and reboot the 3DS. Do you have saving working?

Yes save works here. I'll try with pokemon y now.

I'm installing it now, I'll let you know if it works for me or not as soon as it's installed. If it works, I'll give you exactly what I used to make it.

Well, I just decrypted my Pokemon Y update data. I just have to repack it into a CIA and test.
