[Gamefreak525]

close the rogram and open the program again and type in CR

Still nothing, I give up. Thanks anyways

check you have enough ram/memory available

Make sure you have enough space. If you run out of space, it won't make the file.

How can I rebuild the romfs and exefs that way I can make my randomizer of sun into a cia when I remake the cia nothing is edited and when I try and do the luma way of doing a Randomizer nothing happens

make sure to get the decrypt9wip.bin file from the decrypt9wip zip
and follow this

Spoiler: Luma Payloads

Put any payload you wish to use in SD:/luma/payloads, and rename it to <button>_<name>.bin(where <name> can be whatever you want)

<button>_<name>.bin can be as follows:

• x_NAME.bin
• y_NAME.bin
• select_NAME.bin
• start_NAME.bin
• r_NAME.bin
• a_NAME.bin
• b_NAME.bin
• right_NAME.bin
• left_NAME.bin
• up_NAME.bin
• down_NAME.bin

For r_NAME.bin, a_NAME.bin and select_NAME.bin you need to press L+R, L+A and L+SELECT on boot respectively.
For any other payload you only need to hold its corresponding button.
If you're using a non-screen-init version of A9LH, it will be done automatically before launching the payload.

I was able to do the whole steps (using decrypt9 made the folders appear afterwards), switched the files with the translated ones, created the new .CIA and installed using FBI. The game appears on the homescreen, but when I try to play, the screen stays black and I have to hold power to shut down the 3DS. I'm not sure if the problem is now with the .CIA or the files I used or maybe a Region problem?

I'm not sure if I should bother really. I want to play Puyo Puyo Tetris (I loved Dr. Robotnik as a kid and I love Tetris) but the 0.2 files are (apparently) just menu stuff (which is fine for this type of game). Maybe someone more skilled can create a proper .CIA, since this game should become more popular once the Switch releases, given it is a launch title for that platform. But, if the problem I ran to is a common one and the solution is simple, I can try again!

It seems hacking toolkit isn't working for me :/
I go through the steps to extract a cia and creates no folders/files

 

[Warturdle]

Not sure if this has been asked already, but is it possible for this to be put together for Mac OSX and used in Terminal?

 

[treebark]

so I think I'm just not getting something. You say they extract as folders but they extract as .bin files. How do I edit bins?

pls someone help me, I've got a Pokemon X .cia, it says"Extraction Done!" without saying it's extracting all the files and it does not extract anything..

Don't forget, your file(s) should not have any spaces in its(their) name(s), nor special characters, like é or à.
You want extract PokemonMoon.3ds ? Just write PokemonMoon.

Written right under the tutorial, please read...

I've already tried it, the file is"PokemonX.cia"..

 

[DocKlokMan]

I've already tried it, the file is"PokemonX.cia"..

Leave out the .cia when typing it into the tool

 

[Skylar-]

Leave out the .cia when typing it into the tool

...i hate using another language.

I've tried ALL, even WITHOUT .cia. It still doesn't extract the files.

 

[Asia81]

is your os a 32bit?

 

[Skylar-]

is your os a 32bit?

Yes..does that mean I can't use the program?

 

[Asia81]

Yes and No.
All tools should work, except CtrTool that is not compatible with 32b.
Find one compatible, and replace it in the ProgramFiles folder (one is floating around one GbaTemp, but I can't exactly remember where).

So, following this, and everything is smooth so far.

But when I try to rebuild a CIA, it looks like it works, but at the end there's no CIA. What'd I do wrong?

I have this same problem. I have enough space and I'm even running the program as administrator. Any ideas?

I guess it depends on what you mean by enough. From my experience, you need at least like 3-4 times the size of the game you're trying to build, if not more.

I have 200GB available on my computer's hard drive...
