ROM Hack [Tutorial] How to Decrypt, Extract & Rebuild a CIA

Deleted User · Jul 26, 2016

How do I extract a cia using v5.3 of the hacking toolkit?
There isn't an option called "cia" anymore. So what do I enter? Entering "ce" extracts a bunch of stuff, but no folders.

Be sure your cia is decrypted, it seems like it's not

Same, extracting an update CIA does nothing. Also, thanks for your post, I wouldn't have guessed using an older version would work hehe

EDIT: Never mind after giving a minute to read the option list, the option to extract is called "CE", not "CIA" like the first post says, ironically writing "CIA" does open a broken version of the CIA Extract option (I guess it was left there as leftover).

[?] If I want to use a custom title ID for a ROM hack, do I have to edit the title ID to match in the Decrypted ExHeader with the Title ID in the 3DS builder?

Example: I've been working on a ROM hack for about six months but right now it still installs as Alpha Sapphire which overwrites the actual game if its also installed. So yeah, any help would be appreciated, TIA.

Any help?

Can somebody give me link to PackHack 5.2 because version 5.3 won't unpack my cia.

Someone that already got it worked, care to accept a request? :x ( I'm new on the forum but I been 3 whole days staring at the same guide)
I really need only one game decrypted, and trying to get it I sadly bricked my 3dsxl.
I wonder if someone could just help me decrypting this only game, I could give my skype and the file.
Sorry if was not the better place to put a request! Will gladly understand if I need to remove somehow!

Just wanted to check, is it still not possible to rebuild a game update back into CIA?

I was able to work with the game fine and rebuild it (Tri Force Heroes), but Pack Hack doesn't create a CIA when trying to rebuild the CIA

Everything unencrypted

After trying to rebuild:

Is there a different method to do it? The original post still uses info from old builds.

Quick question would this work on the latest update to the 3ds? ; _ ; Cause I REALLY want the decrypt to work on it..but it seems to just unload and go back to the homebrew launcher ; n;!

Uhh... Hello. there's a way to make CIA's become SD data and put in the 3ds like it was a backup of a downloaded game?

You don't need a flashcard to get free games. Gateway is completely useless. Follow this guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

My 3ds is 11.0.0-33u. I won't downgrade it 'cuz i'm noob in hacking 3ds but i wanted to know how to install free games. I have Pokémon Y in .3ds Format. And already installed menuhax and homebrew launcher I still have a chance to install FBI?

Not if you're on 11.0.

Anyone with problems rebuilding cias with 5.3, use the french one

it worked for me

Majickhat55 · Sep 13, 2016

Does anyone know why I always get a blackscreen when changing the Title ID/Serial of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire? It works fine when I use the regular Title ID but I don't want it to replace AS, I want it to install separately.

5.3 doesnt work at all.....
Does anyone have 4.8?

doudou1408 · Sep 26, 2016

Anyone who have some troubles getting 5.3 working :

Just move your folder from "C:\Program Files (x86)\HackingToolkit3DS" to "C:\Program Files\HackingToolkit3DS" (Folder "Program Files" is shown as "Programs" on W10 or something like that)
Scripts use the %PROG_FILES% variable who don't really work with all x64 windows.
