Hacking Is it possible to unpack system CIAs for editing?

Asia81 pastebin official link. The one from the decrypting extracting guide.

I'll take a look now...

I managed to extract the romfs from a decrypted system CIA!

Nah, I don't need your decrypted system CIAs. I already took the liberty of decrypting every single 10.3 system CIA through decrypt9.
The CIA I extracted had a system font (in a readable .ttf format!) and some .CRO files IIRC...

There was also a .bcfnt font file alongside that readable ttf file. I dunno if it's the exact same font as the readable one. I'll check.

Actually no, that CTR font file is a completely different font from the readable ttf font. And it's also VERY broken when ran through Every File Explorer. o.O

I wonder what there is in the native firm CIA and in the homemenu CIA.

I'll check, but I bet the NATIVE_FIRM CIA will have nothing but code, and the home menu CIA will have some layout files (.bclyt) and probably some graphics and other stuff...

Well,new custom themesi lite super Xl e knucles.

Okay, so it looks as if Pack Hack doesn't want to extract the home menu CIA's romfs..
I definitely know there is one because it spits out a reasonable-sized decrypted romfs partition. :/

I get the same problem with the software keyboard CIA too! I think it's because some of the CIAs that went through Decrypt9 at the time actually failed to decrypt properly... Anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do?

try re-decrypting them.

try re-decrypting them.

did that a few minutes ago; it still didn't work..

kek, I extracted the bad word list CIA and found a few .txt files with shed-loads of blocked words!

Okay, so I've made a couple of modifications to the extracted romfs, and rebuilt the romfs partition. How should I go about repacking the system CIA so I can install it to emunand for testing? The system CIA I unpacked also has an exefs partition and a DecryptedExheader.bin file, both 0kb since it doesn't use any code.bin. :/

you should use makecia (if i am right) and then re-encytp it with latest decrypt9 i think.

alright, I googled for make_cia and ctr_toolkit, but I just couldn't find any built version.. Do you have it at all?

isn't makecia ind the sdk you gaved to us? (i found it)

well, it's completely different from the legal make_cia. And more users would be familiar with the legal version, and also I don't have a clue what to type into it (yet).
Like I say, if you have the legal make_cia, then that'd be great!
