@ people who want to make an icon, I suggest you make one that actually fits with the style of hbmenu

Hey I need help. When I load braindump on the homebrew thing and dump my Pokémon Y it says it completed the dump but when I load my SD Card on my computer I can't find the dumped file. The weird thing is that when I dumped it it took up some space so I know it's doing something. Any ideas?

I haven't received any icon suggestion which I actually liked enough to make it the official icon. I'd rather have no icon at all than something which has been thrown together in paint within 2 minutes.
I generally use the default icon included with ctrulib, just so I have something there (as well as a name+description) :P

I have my Pokemon Alpha Sapphire dumped to my SD card but it's in CXI format. How do I change it into a romfs file?

I don't know why you quoted my post but,

look for a file called 0004000000055E00.cxi at the root of your SD card.

It should show up as a .cxi file on the root. Are you sure you aren't overlooking it? Are you connected through FTP or is the SD card directly in your computer?

What do you do with the CXI file though? I'm trying to open up ctrtool but it closes as soon as I launch it. Is there another tool I can use?

well, like I said, ctrtool is a program you run in the command line.

so you would do something like "ctrtool --exefs=..." in it.
Okay, so I typed in ctrtool and a list of options popped up. I'm not sure which one to choose in order to extract the CXI file.

ctrtool -p --exefs=exefs.bin --romfs=romfs.bin software.cxi
then do the usual command for extracting the exefs.bin and romfs.bin

i know I'm assuming, but considering that user has no idea about commands and all that jazz, i'd wager she also doesn't know that ususal command.
