I have 200GB available on my computer's hard drive...
Asia also mentioned RAM and that your system needs to be x64. I think it won't build unless you have the folders with the files inside like RomFS and such. I don't think it builds from just RomFS.bin and those files. Other than that, I have no idea.

I have a 64bit system. How much RAM does this program even need?

Here is my folder.

I think you're missing bunch of files. When you click on the setupUS.exe, it installs bunch of files into a folder in Program Files. I think you need to copy HackingToolkit3DS.exe into that. I just copied the folder it created into a more convenient location and added the HackingToolkit3DS.exe into that. Basically you're missing all the support files that make it work.
 
Okay I copied everything in the installed folder to the other one still nothing. I can extract everything fine so why doesn't rebuilding work? Anyone have an older version?

It works building CIA. I never had success with 3ds, but since I don't have Gatway or Sky, I don't really care. You should have about 20 files for the program in your directory.
 
Nevermind. I got it working. It just takes 4ever to get to makerom.exe so you don't see the output cia for a long while.
im having the same problem that you were before. i moved the hackingtool.exe to the program files folder and i dont know where to find the output cia
 
Guys, what the fuck are you doing the the ProgramFiles folder :wtf: :blink:

In your opinion, why I make the users install the SetupXX.exe ?
This is for HackingToolkit3DS.exe, like that it can be accessed from anywhere in your PC.
Leave the ProgramFiles folder, you don't have anything to do in it/with it.

I know people have been patching Pokemon games forever, but how can I use the information in this guide to patch Hyrule Warriors Legends with its update files? I do not want to make modifications (not enough research in GT1 texture files) but I would like to rebuild it into one 3DS file with all updates included. How can I go about this, I have all files extracted already. Thank you!
 
I feel like a dumbass but nothing happens when I try extracting a CXI file. What am I doing wrong? It takes no time at all to do anything but no output. Help?
 
Dit dosen't work for me.. the extraction of my decrypted CIA works, I edit the files, and when I repack it it seems to work, but with some time my screen freeze and I can't do anything, my computer litteraly crash.. and if I wait my computer make a bluescreen.. Help please..
