FunkyCIA Guide - how to make CIAs from your eshop stuff :)

Requirements -
  • A 3DS on 4.X, with the DS profile exploit. You do not need Gateway I believe.
  • Internet on your computer
  • Able to run python
Step 1 - Download http://gbatemp.net/attachments/launcher_ticketdb-dat-zip.13329/
**** The code is unstable, you might have to run it a bunch of times before it works.
When it works you will know, it is fast, so if your screen does nothing for like 5 seconds just turn off and try again. I once had to try 7 times - usually I am lucky though ***


Step 2 - Extract it and rename it to Launcher.dat - rename the actual GW Launcher.dat to something else for now.
Step 3 - Put it on your 3DS's sd card. Load up the exploit (settings, profile, etc...)
Step 4 - It should run, when it is done, turn off your 3DS. Hold the power button until it is off.
Step 5 - Take out the sd card from the 3DS, put it in your computer. You should see ticket.db and ticket.db_gwemu. The first file is from the sysnand, the second is from emunand. Copy them somewhere, maybe to your desktop.
Step 6 - Download http://gbatemp.net/attachments/funkycia2-zip.15361/ - and extract it.


Now, you run the python file. (On mac it's very easy, I'm not sure about windows)
type: python FunkyCIA.py ticket.db_gwemu -type dlc
This would download all the dlc you have installed, and make them into CIAs :)
You can specify what type of content you want to download, like: -type dlc would download dlc, -type demo gameapp would download the demos and gameapps that you have in your ticket.db.
You can use -type with gameapp, update, dlc, demo, dsiware, system, or ALL
You can download everything you have if you specify -type ALL. This includes system titles, so maybe you don't want to do that, just list all the types you want apart from 'system'. Find the title ids of the stuff you want using 3ds.essh.co, maybe devtool, maybe some other method.

Or, if there is some specific title ids (specific games/updates/etc) that you want to download, use:
-title XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY and you will download and make a CIA for those 2 titles only.
You cannot choose to download a content type (dlc, update, etc), and specific title(s) at the same time.

You can turn off downloading with -nodownload (if you want to only show the title ids you have in your ticket.db)
You can turn off CIA generation with -nobuild (so the stuff will only be downloaded)
You can turn off sorting by -nosort (by default, the contents are sorted into folders, so all the demos would go in a demo folder, all the system stuff would go in a system folder, etc)

that's the old version. i had a quick look on github and couldn't see a windows exe of the new one. try searching on this site.
Well, if you are just looking for a working one (not the source of that working one), then you can extract it from the .jar file in CDN-FX.. The one included there was the one that I originally used with FunkyCIA :)

I just need the exe, though the old one does work. It just can't go over 255, hopefully we can find a exe of the new one.

@cearp

I found one on your github, is this it and if so how do I compile it?

Way to revive a 2 year old thread. Using an Arm9 payload through luma or another CFW boot decrypt9 and dump your games that way. It's much simpler.
