I just want to say thank you for this tool! I was always intimidated by creating *.cia before to the point that I didn't even want to try. I can't believe how fast and easy this process is... thanks again!
 
Does region free works ? I get black screen & crash when i use a US converted CIA on my EU N3DS.

I've converted US using FW spoof and the latest version of the program on my aus system no problems. try to dump your game again and make sure it's not trimmed?
 
Noticed the changelog for v4.3 says....

"Added zero-key encrypted ROM support, no xorpad required"

so we dont need to use the 3ds in the process to convert a .3ds to .cia anymore then it can all be done on the PC?

Happens to me, too. Use decrypt9 or some shit.

From my experience/knowledge, it seems impossible... but if he says so, then it is most likely truthful. That's how it sounds.

Is it possible to just FWSpoof and Regionfree since I already have the Pokemon XY/ORAS CIA's, they just don't have FWSpoof or Regionfree.

yes just convert it back to .3ds then back to .cia just remember they wont be legit .cia's anymore after u do this

So if I decide to not do region free and fwspoof, will they be legit and be able to installed in emunand?

Yea the thing about legit .cia's is that they will boot and run in sysNAND without need of sig patches
 
Just wondering but if i wanted to FW spoof on my n3ds do i need to find newer values for games that require fw >9.6 or do i just use the default value of "2E02"?

This app is no more simple than the other methods. You cannot obtain xorpad files from .3ds files. Also, it seems that RxTools no longer works. I never altered my files, and it no longer boot properly. "ERROR Occurred.". So, this app doesn't even help. If you already own the game, just slap it into the system and play it.
 
I'd also like to state this app is crazy faulty. Doesn't create the needed .bin files. Didn't convert to .cia. It only duplicated my ROM without it's save file.
Now it won't even see my .xorpad files. So, we need to fix this. :)

Works great for me.

I just finished using it to create 1340 .CIAs from the entire current ADVANsCEne .3DS Database and all 651 eShops from the No-Intro .3DS list.

No problems at all!!!!
 
Needless to say, I think it's better off we leave these ".xorpad" files out of it. It only takes up space if used for multiple games, it's confusing, and a real simple .3ds to .cia cia converter should be made with the adjective to it's name " simple ". It's duplicating my ROMS as I speak and it's not able to be closed, my anti-virus is going nuts on this app. I'll seek elsewhere so I don't wind up needing to wipe my hard drive.
