ROM Hack Extracting .cxi files from a .cia file (using ctrtool)?

[Rainr]

Hi guys!

I can't find how to extract a cxi file from a cia file using ctrtool in the citra github. If it's not too much trouble, could someone explain how to do it?

I am able to extract the content.0000.000000 file, but can't seem to figure out how to convert it to a .cxi file.

Thanks so much!

The content.0000.000000 file should be a CXI file.

How my .Net 3DS Toolkit does it, for reference:

I may not be understanding you correctly, but isn't it a .000000 file? How do I convert it to have the .cxi file extension?
Thanks for responding!

File extensions are mostly arbitrary. Simply rename it to .cxi, and it'll work.

It dosen't seem to work for me.. I'm trying to use the prepatched .cia for Pokemon Meme Sapphire found here (http://pastebin(dot)com/0VB0v7Hc). Is the problem that it's a patch on top of Alpha Sapphire and not a standalone .cia? If so, how do I go about patching AS on the PC?

Thanks so much.

A pre-patched CIA file shouldn't require messing with the CXI partition.

I'm trying to run it in Citra. Citra dosen't allow me to run .cia files, and I'm unable to convert it to a .cci file in makerom for some reason.

Thanks!

Edit: When they say, prepatched, does that mean that it is standalone? Do I still have to patch Alpha Sapphire?
