I feel kind of silly asking this, since it's something I used to do a few years ago, when making spoof titles to show up as my "latest software" in StreetPass Mii Plaza. But for whatever reason, my knowledge has lapsed and I'm having trouble figuring it out.

As the title says, I'd like to take a .cia file and change its icon(s) / short and long titles / publisher. Even if there isn't a tool to do exactly those things, perhaps someone could work out a go-to method for getting it done.

I am familiar with .cia en/decryption, converting PNGs to common 3DS image formats, HackingToolkit3/9DS, hex editors, and some forms of checksum calculation. Thanks for any guidance you folks could give!

You could try NSUI. I don't remember too much about the app, but I do recall that you could edit some stuff of the CIA's.

    Yea I enjoying the painting, N watching 3d printer do the work.

    i like to print things that look cool but i can also play with, like articulating models, i just don't have space for a bunch of them

    I like sniffing paint

    or the right filaments to make them shine

    I do plan on getting a 3d printer eventually though

    I'd like to get into 3d painting. Could I use it to make small parts like for controller potentiometers?

    you can print whatever you want, depending on the printer I guess

    if it's like the size of the plastic pieces in the n64 analog stick that like to wear out sure

    anything really thin won't be durable

    when I was in mechatronics it was fun to make tiny metal stuff in cnc printers
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea can get smaller ejector nozzles and print smaller objects even. Use ABS for strong objects.
  • handy333 @ handy333:
    [I don't know how to reply] A 3d printer sounds like it would make my life super.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the nozzle is a limiting factor but durability is the bigger concern
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @handy333, JLCPCB does 3D prints, and it's cheaper.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Depends on what you need to do.
