Hacking Is it possible to unpack system CIAs for editing?

[Urbanshadow]

If it's just for icons, why don't use the badge system? It admits badge shorcuts to system apps! And you can import them from png with GYTB.

it isn't possible to make a shortcut to the browser for example, o it isn't for miiverse, or for a lot of other apps.

That's just editing because editing. Browser has it's own place on home menu, and editing home menu title is not the safest (or wisest) thing to do. But sure, if even the battery animation bugs you, there are ways to unpack system titles.

As I see it, custom badges + custom themes give you plenty of options to do everything. And everything else are just corner cases.

and maybe also finding a way to remove the 300 titles limit.

Would be interesting if we could actually edit every single home menu icon... would be nice.

That doesn't have to be with the home menu, as the amount of squares for placing titles increases automatically since badge update.

Thing is, not every icon is accessible for original themes. Any icon not accesible must be modified in home menu title to be accessible (better than modifying home menu title every time you wanted to change it), and afterwards changed from CHHM2 or Howling theme tool.

I don't think you're quite getting the full picture. My ambitions were to unpack and edit a system CIA, so I can see 1) how they worked, and 2) whether I could modify it and install it onto my emunand. I already have custom badges and themes set up anyway, but I just wanted to experiment with the system CIAs for a change.

I am actually editing a .code partition from a cxi system title myself. I do get it. After being there, I do not recomend the hassle. But hey, go explore.

What are you editing? In the system CXI? :oD

Hopefully, only a single arm instruction. Harder to find than edit.

For what?

Does someone know how I can actually unpack a CIA once it's been decrypted? I'm a little stuck now.

That's the thing, you see. I don't see any option in HackingToolkit.bat that allows me to do that.

Forse of all, why the pachack i ma using is .exe? Second, if using cci or cxi just presa D if Using .cia then write CIA

Your packhack is a .exe? Where'd you find that?
