Is this compatible with windows 10? Whenever I try to decrypt my Pokemon moon file and click decrypt it does it immediately and doesn’t make new files. I’ve heard you have to rename the file to a set of 3 letters before the .cia file or if it decrypts immediately without actually doing anything it’s because the software isn’t compatible with your system. Thoughts? Thanks.

If anyone came here looking for a straight encrypted game CIA -> decrypted game CIA solution,
simply remove or comment out the lines 64-69 in the batch file and, optionally, rename "-decfirst.cia" to "-decrypted.cia" on the line 41.
Better save it as a separate batch ofc.
...I don't think I can thank you and OP enough for this, so as an expression of gratitude, I shall let thee behold a Carbuncle.

Everytime i want to decrypt a cia game, it always end up freezing my laptop mid way and when the freeze is done, it will say that it's finished, but when i tried to run the file on citra, the file is still encrypted, my laptop is compatible and i dont know why this happens

To anyone getting the 'running the batch goes directly to finish with no new file generated' - try dragging the CIA file to decrypt.exe (just clicking decrypt.exe does not work, you have to give it a file to chew on) and it should run through and generate a bunch on NCCH files. Then double click on the .bat and it will run through and generate a decrypted CIA/CCI.
Make sure everything is in the same folder.

This is a bit of an edge case, but just in case people don't know: the program won't work if your .cia file has an exclamation mark (and potentially other forms of punctuation). So maybe just edit the filename to omit the exclamation mark.
