Hacking How to extract theme .cia?

[Isle41]

Tried figuring out ctrtool for far too long and I have no clue what I'm doing.

You want to extract the contents from a repacked CIA?

You want to extract the contents from a repacked CIA?

I have no idea actually. I have a theme file in the form of a cia. I see every file explorer can view the insides of the theme but first I need to extract it.

ctrtool --contents=out file.cia

You'll get two NCCH files. The larger one has the theme files. Extract the RomFS from it with:

ctrtool -p --romfs=romfs.bin file.whatever

Generate an xorpad for it and xor it. Then you can extract the files from it with:

ctrtool -t romfs --romfsdir=romfs romfs.bin.out

why are you using crtrtool?

-ah, extract, sure, i understand

Generate an xorpad for it and xor it.

So... how did someone manage to extract mk7 without xoring?

[USER=325063]Echo[/USER] OFF
ctrtool --contents=mk7 game.cia > nul
ren mk7.0000.786d264e mk7_app.cxi
ren mk7.0001.13945090 mk7_manual.cfa
mkdir ncch
move mk7_app.cxi ncch > nul
move mk7_manual.cfa ncch > nul
mkdir exe
ctrtool --exefsdir=exe --exheader=exe\exhdr.bin --romfs=romfs.bin ncch\mk7_app.cxi > nul
ctrtool --romfsdir=romfs romfs.bin > nul
del romfs.bin

-ah, extract, sure, i understand

I sure don't understand. 3DStool doesn't seem to want to open it and I'm unaware of any other options.

i thought you wanted to make a theme you have, into a cia.
but, i think you just want to extract a theme you have (in cia format for some reason), so you can look inside.
yes, i think you should need to XOR it

How are you guys making your xorpads for themes? SD padgen doesn't seem to be getting me functional ones.

heya guys i made this script to convert themes in cia format to be used with chmm, it has a tutorial and everything you need, enjoy

remember that the themes will need to be already decrypted for this

can you get encrypted cia themes? i havent seen any of them on the web

 

[cearp]

i use FunkyCIA, and that doesn't need you to decrypt anything, so themes (or anything you make) will be encrypted.
if you see a cia online, 99% of people are not going to say if the contents are decrypted or not, they just want it to work

In some ISO site you can find "Theme Pack" in cia with all Nintendo themes

ohhh thats very interesting to know very very interesting, what are the benefits of having it encrypted?

yes and this should work with them , because those packs were decrypted before created

So this is not possible to use using gateway running 9.2 sysnand. 9.5 emu? since launcher.dat (for gw) is needed to execute the exploit then to convert cia themes to chmm capable themes we need to put launcher.dat (included in your tutorial)?

 

[AtlanticBit]

why would you extract theme contents?

There is a launcher for 9.2 that I did not include because I never knew of its existence jeje, just use the 9.. 2 launcher and you are good

 

[tarovisions]

why would you extract theme contents?

To observe, edit, and limit the amount of theme files packed (I assume repacking is an option)

I tried to use your script. When I run it there is no ncchinfo.bin file created. there is only a bunch of files, most of which are 3 MB, in the folder that the script was run from. Any help with this issue would be great.

 

[kamesenin888]

check in that iso site, there is an updated script, I don't have it with me atm, so check there, its pretty automatic, and please check the python version
