ROM Hack I can't decrypt/extract Minecraft for New 3DS

[OkazakiTheOtaku]

I have an eShop American copy of Minecraft for New 3DS which I'm trying to mod, and it's driving me crazy. I used GodMode9 to dump a .cia file of it, but GodMode9 is unable to decrypt it, copy the romfs.bin, or really do anything with any of the files.

@Asia81 's tool (which I've used probably hundreds of times in the past for other mods and projects) is just presenting the "decryptedXX.bin" files which I can't extract or do anything with.

I even tried getting a "cryptofixed" CIA from that site and I still can't do anything with it in regards to extracting.

Does anyone have any solution for this yet? Has this issue been come across before? This is the first time I've tried to mod a "New" 3DS only game so perhaps I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance.

Jeez, I though it would be a snap modding Minecraft, considering how easy it is on other platforms. The first thing I though of when I heard about Minecraft for 3DS was modding. Seriously, my first though.

Because from V10 and beyond, you need (for now) to use an encrypted (clean, so no cryptofixed) .3ds and/or .cia as it use boot9 keys to extract without decrypting.

Forgive me if I misunderstand, but the Pack no longer supports decrypted CIA files? Or does it now in addition support encrypted CIAs?

Regardless, do I have to extract my boot9 keys myself? And if so, what directory do I place them in? Will this solve my problem?

 

[Asia81]

You understood right. It doesn't support decrypted/cryptowhatyouwantcallit anymore (at least for now, I plan to add both support encrypted (clean) and decrypted (Decrypt9/GodeMode9) for later.
You have nothing to do or dump, just install the setup, take your clean/encrypted .3ds /.cia (cartridge dump or cia from the CDN, anything that's untouched) and it should work.

Your work folder should be just the .exe and your .3ds / .cia

Ah...Thank you.

I redownloaded v11 and cleaned up my directory structure (it was in ~30 subfolders deep) and then put my clean dump in and it extracted perfectly. I don't know what the issue was but doing those two things fixed it, along with redumping a clean copy instead of using the cryptofixed version.

Thank you for the help Asia81

I had a similar issue as well, and installing the seed through FBI fixed it for me. (I decrypted the CIA that I downloaded from that site with GM9.) Sadly, most of the game uses .3dst files, which seem to be almost totally unknown. The only thing I could really find to modify was the credits text file. :/

And the splashes.json

But yeah, I'm actually working right now to pull apart the .3dst files.

Btw, if you use Minecraft as cia, don't forgot I said that CIA rebuild is broken for now.
You are better to wait for the cartridge dump and romhack it instead, then turn it into cia with 3dsconv.exe.

Oh nice! Hope that goes well for you. Last night, I tried editing the splashes file, which didn't change anything on the game. Unless I goofed and put it in the wrong place for LayeredFS.
Seriously, good luck with this. I'm looking forward to seeing your results.

Has that always been broken in the Hackingtoolkit? I have no idea what version the one I used to extract the data from is, but I didn't really plan on rebuilding it.
Also, there's physical editions of 3DS Minecraft? That's strange to me.

Idk if there is one, just said to prevent it.

There is going to be a physical Minecraft cart in a later date, that's what they said in Nintendo Direct

Oh, well thanks for the warning.

I missed that. Seems like we might be waiting a bit for cart dumps.

 

[Termer]

I'm interested in getting this version. Tried it out, and I don't think I'll get it until there's a cart. I really hate digital games. I'm old fashioned, I like my physical carts

 

[Dracari]

here i was about to try and peek at the RomFS (Dump from GM9)it sits out everything fine but nothing can be extracted from em, as i was curious just how open to view things were ohh well just gotta sit tight for an update and cart release.

 

[Smashmax20]

I'd very much like mods in MC3DS. So, good luck!
