Ok now that i have setup instaled this is what i did is went to the hacking tool enterd D what is suposed to happen now becuse for me...nothing
Are you following the prompts man? I'm not trying to be rude or anything but you don't seem to be well versed in computers at all.....

After typing 'D" to extract a .3DS file, you have to hit enter. Then read the message that pops up and do what it says. I really don't want to come off as rude or anything because I don't know if you're disabled, ignorant or just an idiot so I won't judge you. However, I would advise you to ask someone to help you if it never occurred to you to hit "enter".....

Make sure you decrypt your rom with either decrypt9 or godmode9 ^~^ first before using it with any of those options.

◘ Decrypt it using Decrypt9 -> Game Decryptor Options -> CIA Decryptor (Deep) OR GodMode9 -> (A) on CIA -> CIA image options... -> Decrypt file (...) -> Decrypt inplace.

This is outdated. The HackingToolKit9DS V 11 only uses encrypted ROMs/CIA along with the dumped boot9 to "work its magic".
Decrypted one's won't work with this version.

We can't give you a link to copyrighted files my friend, sorry.

If you're using HackingToolKit v11, then you need to dump your private bootrom (boot9.bin) from your console using Boot9Strap.
Then take your boot9 file and place it in the same directory as pack hack.
Then type "D", hit enter, the name of your file (no extensions) and hit enter again.
Wait.
Profit?

Not even need to dump keys, just the .exe and the rom, nothing else.

Use a .3DS rom as base instead cia (for now).
Extract it, replace files, rebuild. Then convert the rebuilt .3DS to .CIA using 3dsconv.
I'm a bit tired to repeat it...

Alright, so I think I have a handle of most of this, as I can extract/unpack the cias just fine, but how do I get to (edit) the code.bin in the DecryptedexeFS.bin? I tried the "FS2" option to "extract contents of DecryptedexeFS.bin", but no new files show up when I do so. It says extraction is done, but nothing happens other than a new (empty) folder appearing. Thanks for the help.

Not sure to understand what you want to do with the code.bin file?
Just got the file itself?

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
