I've spent most of the day trying to figure this one out, but no easy tuts I can find.

I started with: https://gbatemp.net/threads/patch-dlc-converter-sd-decryptor-guide-originally-by-tjexp.374048/ but it's a mess and confusing.

Then someone posted this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-converting-3ds-to-cia-for-dummies.373722/

I managed to find Bigblue the SDK pack.

Basically the problem is everything is scattered all over the place and not found together, so if anyone can help me (here or in IRC) I would appreciate it.

I want to properly dump eshop, updates etc. (for backup purposes of course lol) and then give them some friends in case my house has a fire.

 

ok cool, where can i find sdto3ds? is it in the decrypter void thread? i don't need to make any rsf file at all? it's ll automated?

 

Everything is the same as what? I have tried so many guides I am lost No matter what I do the end result is always the same.

1. NCCH Error and some Save Size when making CIA.
2. After install CIA won't run get an error.

I guess I can try one of the guides and when I get to makerom part try using SD23DS but I am just not very hopeful anymore. I am getting tired of trying and seeing that same error.

 

I never did any rsf files not even sure what they are. None of th guides mentioned ncch decryption again wouldn't even know how to.

 

ah ok at least we are getting somewhere.

Here's what I have so far:

Step 1: Created SDinfo.bin and Xorpads, I used the cmd from dlc guide but there are many ways to do it. https://gbatemp.net/threads/patch-dlc-converter-sd-decryptor-guide-originally-by-tjexp.374048/


Step 2: Ran tool and created Xorpads copied them HDD.


Step 3: Decrypted the files (app and tmd).


That's where I am at not sure what to do next concerning ncch and rsf?

 

I was able to make a .3ds file of some Sonic Demo w/o any error. It runs on my 3DS but I also have the eshop installed.

Can you see if this runs on your 3Ds? No install since it's .3ds file, I PM'd you the link to download.

I didn't get any error, I used the app and tmd.

That doesn't solve the CIA problem, it won't work with CARD2 cmd. I still don't know if this works?

Where can I get the ctrtool? I'm on Win 7 x64.
