It doesn't install cia's. It DOWNLOADS system updates from nintendo and converts them to cia so you can manually update to a specific version.
I have no idea what's so special about the videos they're downloading.
Guess they wanted to see if they'd work or not.
oh ok i see. This is all for emunand though right? I still cannot change my system firmware?
I suppose the reason region changing didn't work that easily is because the region flag is actually set in a configuration file or similar somewhere, but if we could spoof the region for the out-of-region eShop and such, they might be able to work without changing the region of the NAND itself. I guess it's up to Gateway or some hackers to find out of that's at all possible and perhaps release something.
This is the beginning of great things The 3DS scene is really speeding up, there have been new advancements made for the public rather frequently lately. First the CTR decryptor, then the SD decryptor, and now this. Not to mention all the leaks and the advancements made by Gateway.
Good things are in store for 3DS hacking.
Also, wouldn't this make it relatively easy to modify the firmware and do all sorts of things we can't with GW alone? If we have working cia files of the entire system firmware, then decrypting them should be a breeze
They're considered 'downgrading' the files to how they once were in 1.1.0, so you'll have to edit the tmd to give it a higher version number.cearp Have you tried installing the regional promotional videos? I can't get them to work for some reason.
so my python script has a bug?No, they have their own cetk and tmd, but make_cdn_cia can't handle multiple folders and create one cia
how would this be useful? you cannot use the theoretical new version you just updated to because gw does not support it yet... otherwise you could have updated normally... right?I have an idea for how this could be super-helpful in very specific situations, in the future.
Situation: Update > 9.4 launches, update not available for EmuNAND, super cool eshop/update thing you want was released after the 3ds update.
Steps: Back up SD card, run the update via CIA install, open Eshop and get what you want, decrypt it and create the CIA, restore SD card backup and install your CIA file.

maybe, what csv did you use?
Sorry if this has been mentioned already (I rarely read these forums lately because of all the useless duplicate threads) but I think the reason that people on firmwares below/including 4.5 shouldn't upgrade is not only because of the fact that they don't have support yet, but also because shit like Relys 3DS_Multi_Decryptor don't (and probably never will) support +4.5
I really hope they end up enabling region spoofing for eShop
