Homebrew braindump - userland game dumping!

[Wolfy]

Sorry for the SPAM, but: Thank you for doing this! This makes everything a lot easier.
And it works!

No problem, happy it works

Yo guys, remember when you were dumping your game using braindump and you had to wait for 5 minutes until it finished the first step, i.e. dumping the ExeFS?

Apparently, I brainfarted, and now that I fixed it, the ExeFS of my CN cartridge gets dumped within 5 seconds, lol. Don't have any time to finish and push the fix right now, but I'll hope to be able to do so next week

Waiting for Braindump to extract RomFS be like...

Nah, just kidding man, it's actually going fast for me. ~400 MB out of 600 MB in less than 10 minutes is good.

I can't seem to open ctrtool. What it does is that I open the program, it opens for not even a second and closes on me. What should I do?

You have to hit shift+right click and hit "open command window here" I had the same issue until someone helped me out with it.

I tried it but I don't have the option "Open command window here."

If you don't see the option "Open command window here" your OS may not have it. Just use the cd command (look it up) in command line.

So i have the cxi file, could someone help me convert it to romfs?

Edit: Nevermind figured it out

After dumping, can we install the result to sysnand ?

No.

When I try to extract my RomFS using ctrtool from the .cxi file I extracted it says "Error, exheader has mismatch. Wrong key?" What key is this referring to?

 

[Hiccup]

What command did you use?

 

[funtuna464]

What command did you use?

I'm getting the same error, and I used ctrtool --romfs=romfs.bin --decompresscode 0004000000030800.cxi

 

[Hiccup]

If you are trying to extract RomFS file to folder use this:

ctrtool --intype=romfs --romfsdir=romfs romfs.bin

If you are trying to extract RomFS from decrypted CXI use this:

ctrtool -p --romfs=romfs.bin software.cxi

 

[funtuna464]

If you are trying to extract RomFS file to folder use this:

ctrtool --intype=romfs --romfsdir=romfs romfs.bin

If you are trying to extract RomFS from decrypted CXI use this:

ctrtool -p --romfs=romfs.bin software.cxi

Still getting the error.

 

[Hiccup]

I really don't know what is wrong, sorry. What are you trying to achieve? I assume you dumped the CXI via braindump?

 

[funtuna464]

Yes. I'm trying to dump the romfs.bin of Mario Kart 7 so that I can mod it.

 

[Hiccup]

Maybe if you send me what you are trying to decrypt to me via PM, I could try it out. Then we could work out if it is a problem with the CXI or not. I do own Mario Kart 7, if that makes any difference.
