Type "cmd" in the windows search bar thingy ; click on the "cmd" app. When it's open, type "cd", add a space, and drag and drop the folder where you have the romfs file + ctrtool inside. Then press enter.
After that, you can just copy / paste "ctrtool --intype=romfs --romfsdir=romfsdir romfs.bin", and press enter again.

How did you extract the data from romfs.bin, i dont know the command

Its The Same Command As Decompressing The exefs : ctrtool -t romfs --romfsdir=romfs --decompresscode romfs.bin

So I have a question, and I assume this is a problem with romfs extractor and not braindump.

After dumping Fire Emblem: Awakening, and extracting the romfs contents, I get invalid file names instead of the expected Japanese file names.

Does your PC usually be able to show Japanese characters? I've extracted Fates and Awakening with no problems.

Hi! Is there any option to extract the game header from the romfs.bin file?

Oh, Derp

I had forgotten that I recently formatted my HDD and did a clean install of Windows, so I haven't downloaded any of the additional languages.

Well, at least we solved that problem. xD

Will this be able to dump whole games into files?
e.g. cart/download -> .3ds
or is there no point?
(sorry neobrain for initially putting this on the github issues)

It will dump a .romfs. which is essentially the whole rom but cant be used as one.

That update was a massive improvement. I just dumped Pokemon OR in about 30 minutes. I was getting about 1 MB/s dump speed.

What update, Link? this thing is slow , only get 150 kib per s

For me, ctrtools opens and the immediately closes. Can someone help me out here? Or am I just being dumb

you don't double click ctrtools... you run a command prompt window (cmd) and then use the program that way, by typing the program name and giving it the commands.

doubleclicking it will launch the app in a cmd, but it will close immediately, because with no commands it will "finish" immediately, and close
