I haven't been doing much decrypting / rebuilding lately, so what's the easiest way to rebuild a CIA? I have the exheader, exefs, and romfs. I know there is ways to do it, because I did it long ago, but I'm wondering the easiest way and programs needed.

You also need a header and plain region...

In my opinion, once you memorize the commands and understand what they do, the easiest way is with the trinity (check out the CXI link in my sig)! It is also by far the most flexible set of tools!

plain region isn't required. if it really is, just create a 512 byte file filled with null/00 bytes.

if you only have exheader/exefs/romfs, you'll probably need to get an rsf file somehow.

I never touched RSF Files. The way I did it before was to use 3DS Builder.exe to build a .3DS, then generate xorpads, then use 3DS Lazy to convert 3DS to CIA. I was wondering if there was a way to just build a .CIA instead of going through that every time.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
