Can someone help me to build a CIA from this ELF file with makerom?
It is just the hello-world example included in ctrulib.

I keep getting errors.

Thanks.

Not saying what the errors are doesn't really give us much to go on. If you're looking for a simple template project to build from that can also spit out CIAs, may I humbly suggest:

https://github.com/thedax/3DSHomebrewTemplate

Note that the Linux and Mac versions of makerom aren't updated for DKA r45 or ctrulib 1.0.0+ though.
Thanks, this builds fine. However, modifying icon.png, banner.png, and AppInfo do not affect the Icons, etc of the CIA after installing.

If you try to install a CIA with the same title ID that's already installed, it won't update the icon/banner cache unless you first uninstall it from SD and then reboot, then install the new CIA.

Did that but only the banner comes up. Not the title, publisher, or icon.

Here is my AppInfo file:

APP_TITLE = Pokemon Z
APP_DESCRIPTION = Pokemon Z
APP_AUTHOR = Nintendo
APP_PRODUCT_CODE = CTR-F-PKMZ
APP_UNIQUE_ID = 0x6969

So, you're coming from here. How old are you and the people on your friend list? Nine? Does your dad also work at Nintendo?

I really don't need any stupid answers, I was planning on messing with my friends who are literally refreshing Serebii.net every hour.

Here are the icons. I don't really care about the banners.

Can you try to make the following:

Publisher: Nintendo
Long Name: Pokemon Z
Short Name: Pokemon Z

I don't really care.

I was just using the hello-world elf i compiled from CTRULIB's examples.

Thanks btw :)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
