Homebrew CIA RomFS dumper?

[Ricken]

You can edit the Menuhax payload yourself fairly easily if you have CTRXplorer

 

[Khangaroo]

I read you can't use N3DS Clocked mode with a boot manager.

Wait, what? So that's why I never noticed a difference...

 

[Pokéidiot]

You can extract CIA Exefs and Romfs with ctrtool, however if you want the contents you will need to decrypt it.
ctrtool is a command line tool, thou.

yeah! i remember that too! OP, send me your menuhax payload, i will edit it to boot luma.3dsx

Is this it? And thanks!

Menuhax boots luma.3dsx and hblauncher_loader boots boot.3dsx. Perfect! THANK YOU!

Are you using menuhax or arm9loaderhax? Your signature would imply the former but anyway

Both cases:

1. Make a folder called D9Game on root
2. Place the .cia of the game in that folder

Menuhax:
3. Get Decrypt9WIP.3dsx in /3ds/Decrypt9WIP (that is to say - make sure you have Decrypt9 in your homebrew)
4. Access homebrew on sysnand (so before booting to emunand) (because you need arm9 access)

Both:
5. Open Decrypt9 (on a9lh this would be done by holding Start if you followed Plailect's guide btw)
6. Go to Game Decryptor Options
7. Select CIA Decryptor (deep)
8. Wait till done. .cia will be replaced with decrypted version
9. Get decrypted .cia to PC
10. Use ctrtool to extract romfs and exefs following ihaveahax' guide: https://github.com/ihaveamac/3DS-rom-tools/wiki/Extract-a-game-or-application-in-.cia-format

It may seem less convenient than using braindump but in reality it is a LOT better both for quality and hassle.

As for you using FTP to transfer files - I actually highly recommend you either keep the screws unscrewed or take them out all together. The lid stays on perfectly fine without them. Trust me when I say it's a huge hassle to always use FTP.... I know the feels when doing basic romhacking...

It would be much less convenient than using braindump, because I want to dump games I have installed.

Also, this payload-altering thingy that happened in this thread basically solved my problem, and even made accessing the HBL much easier in the future.
