Step 1 - PreparationStep 2 - DecryptionStep 3 - FinalizingExtras

1. 
   
   1. Download hactool: https://github.com/SciresM/hactool/releases/
   2. Extract the following next to hactool.exe: https://gbatemp.net/attachments/decrypt-xci-v2-1-zip.131659
   3. Make sure your keys are in keys.ini filename and format and is next to hactool.exe aswell
2. 
   
   1. Put the .XCI you want to decrypt next to hactool.exe (Important)
   2. Drag the .XCI onto the Decrypt-XCI.bat
   3. Let it do its thing, it could take a while
   4. Once you see "DONE!" your done!
3. 
   The new folder xciDecrypted next to hactool.exe is now the romfs and exefs of the xci decrypted.
   romfs in xciDecrypted/romfs.bin and exefs in xciDecrypted/exefs
   The structure is 100% ready to copy and paste into sd:/atmosphere/titles/{titleid}/ for Backup Loading/LayeredFS Mods.
   (but you still need to rename the folder to the titleid and edit the main.npdm)
   To use this with Ryujinx, drag the xciDecrypted/exefs folder onto Ryujinx.exe (No idea about Yuzu).
   
4. 
   
   • If you want the Batch file to close once its done, remove the last line (pause >nul) and save.

Thanks to gdkchan for the original script, since the original script, I have HEAVILY modified it.

I have created a quick bash script for Linux/OSX which performs the same function as this but also creates a new directory for each file based on the given filename. I have attached a .zip containing the bash script and the hactool binary compiled for Linux/OSX.

Directions:

1. Place keys.ini file in same directory as hactool and XCIDecryption.sh
2. make the script executable "chmod 755 XCIDecryption.sh"
3. Run the script with the .xci as the argument "./XCIDecryption.sh GAMENAME.xci"

Please note this has only been tested on OSX but should work for linux.

No same for me, I have added all master keys yet nothing makes a difference, I have tried it several times and all I get is an empty folder!

I have every single key released in my ini file

You can find them on google pretty quickly

what does you keys.ini file look like? and what game is that

 

[Deleted member 451920]

I tried it out on Arms and Xenverse 2. They both worked. I also made a duplicate keys folder and made it a txt and then put that in the keys directory

I don't know what program you are using. Its not the one from this thread

But it looks like you need to change your keys.ini file to a keys.txt file

[TunaKetchup]

Its this one

Yeah I see that

It says Keys.txt path and you have it targeted to keys.ini

So change that and try again

Just make it a regular text file

no, that's the one i saw online, just search the app name anddownloadd it and try it for yourself

 

[TunaKetchup]

The reason why its not working is because the program cant find the necessary keys.txt path

You have told it to target an INI file which is not what its asking for

It is asking for just a normal txt file.

Until you change that it wont work simple as that

I DID! I found this screenshot online since I closed the application and cant be asked to make a screenshot at 1am in the morning

Open up notepad

Copy your keys into the new notepad we just opened

Click on File, then Save As,

On the bottom in the file name box you want "keys"

Below that you will see a box "Save as type" you want to chose .txt

The final file should just be called "keys"


I hope that helps because if not I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe somebody else can chime in
