ROM Hack [Release] ExInjector - Inject original exheaders into repacked roms

[piratesephiroth]

-desc <app type>:<firm version>

• 'app type' can be SDApp / ECApp / Demo / DlpChild
• 'firm version' is the target kernel version minor for the intended 3DS system

in the wiki show sdapp ecapp but not app and so much people use app

What is the difference between ecapp app and sdapp please. Explain.

'Ecapps' use additional services, like for installing DLC.
New Super Mario Bros 2 is a 'ecapp'.

Maybe problem was save size, after examining exheader.txt, it has to be 10M.

I noticed that Exinjector works fine with Animal Crossing. The issue is that the exefs must not be compressed when rebuilding the rom (you must set EnableCompress to false, because commenting it out will make it use the default setting, that's compression enabled)

nice find, i can adept my batch to ask if exefs should be decompressed

will test again with Animal Crossing

Well, you can read that info from the decrypted exheader so it should be possible to automate it.

 

[liomajor]

checked exheader.txt, but i don't see info about it o.O

 

[piratesephiroth]

it's next to the "Name". Games with compressed exefs say [compressed]. SD games say [sd]

Yep, USA Animal Crossing works 100% fine installed on 4.5 NAND. Just remember to set everything correctly, it's a Card2 game with 10 MB save file
Will try Pokemon Y now.

Batch is modified, but i want to test fantasy life first before posting it.

fantasy life worked with exinjector on my end.

I'm having trouble with ExInjector.
Here's the command:

exinjector -rom Convert.cxi -exheader exheader.bin -sd

And here's the output:

fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0
fixme:event:wait_for_withdrawn_state window 0x1500de/5400003 wait timed out
fixme:cscript:wWinMain (0x7eff0000 (nil) L"C:\\users\\family\\Temp\\axdpwrvyzn.vbs" 0) forwarding to wscript
fixme:vbscript:VBScript_SetScriptState unimplemented SCRIPTSTATE_INITIALIZED
fixme:vbscript:Global_MsgBox unsupported arg_cnt 3

I'm using the latest ExInjector from the front of this thread.

And when I run the gui, I just get the rom and exheader selection screen, I'm not asked if I want to used it on the sd card.

Did you install Animal Crossing on EMUNAND 4.5 or NAND 4.5? I don't think you can run DEVMENU on NAND 4.5 unless your system is CFW.

How can I change the header of a 3ds file without converting it into cia?
Do I really have to unpack all of it? I can get the header with ctrtool, decrypt it with the xorpad and now? How can I get it back in? I tried using this tool but I'm missing some step it seems...

edit: after some research it seems that cci = csu = 3ds correct? So all I need to do is do unpack the rom, decrypt it, and put it back together again as a cci, and then i should convert the extension name to 3ds?

Or could I even just rename the makerom -f cia to cci in the batch files?

Did you get it working?

3ds to cia v1.03

Required:
Python 2.7
(Add Path to windows enviroments!)

How to use:
1. Create your xorpads and put all files into 3ds to cia dir
2. Drag n drop .3ds / .3dz on make.bat

Freatures:

7.x Support
Region Free fix
Offers injecting original EXHEADER
Offers spoofing Firmware to 4.x
Offers using your own .rsf (no exinjector)
If a game manual is detected, it will be included
Choice to compress EXEFS - thx @ piratesephiroth

Info:
_makerom is 64bit makerom is 32bit

If your windows is 32bit, rename
makerom to _makerom (using _ in script!)

Included in Package:

ctrKeyGen
Launcher
slot0x25KeyX (you need to insert the key - google it!)

It looks pretty good at my side,
everything works well now.

Seems 7.x games won't work on 4.x when spoofed

 

[klausus]

Normal play --> works OK
Internet play --> works OK
Manual --> OK
Download Play --> dont work.
Please Fix it!

It's Like you post that every where
There a word that starts with e, does with d,
8 letters, say it!

4.x as in cfw? Might be sdk's limit.

Lol, download play...

Yeah 4.x cfw
Ah well, I got some 5.x games to work so that's good

Yeah, the first step should be getting the xorpads.
Then you extract the contents with ctrtool and decrypt using the exorpads.
Repack the rom with makerom and you'll be able to inject the exheader.
