The game in discussion is Super Robot Wars UX, and I got 10 patch files(.xdelta) targeting code.bin from Exefs and 9 other binaries from Romfs.

I extracted the folder and binaries from the original cia with Hackingtoolkit9ds(version12), and patched the binaries, and rebuilt the cia file with Hackingtoolkit3ds(version9), because there was a bug with version12 related to Visual Studio.

As a result, the resulting cia was installed and ran perfectly with Citra emulator on pc, but when I tried to install it to my actual 3ds with FBI, it resulted in an "Invalid argument" error, specifically result code 0xD8E08025, Permanent level, Invalid NCCH.

And I tried to check if the FBI was malfunctioning, and tried custom-install(installs cia to 3ds sdcards) to see if my pc could install the modded cia.
But it wasn't functioning either, and resulted in an error message stating -> Exception occurred: ExeFSNameError: could not decode from ascii: b'\xc7\xfav\xdf\xffQ\x19J'

The original cia file was dumped from my 3ds, and the unmodded cia dump could be reinstalled back to my 3ds, so it probably wasn't a corrupt dump.

Is there a method to unpack a cia, mod the file, and rebuild it so that it can be installed back into my 3ds machine? Or is there a method to dump a functional cia installation from my pc to my 3ds machine?

    someone actually joined my james & the giant peach group lol
  • Wish13 @ Wish13:
    he said this: "James & the Giant Peach is so unrealistic because peaches aren't giant in real life. Roald Dahl really should have done some research before writing this terrible and unrealistic book. Entire generations of kids have probably been ruined because they thought that peaches could be really big."
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Wish13, 1. James and the Giant Peach sucks. 2. Do you even know what the EOF is?
