Hi everyone! I have recently obtained a .cia file however there are 2 parts to it (there are 2 different .cia's for the one game) is there anyway to combine these into a single .cia file?

Is one an update? If it's a retail game then it may be an update if it's eshop only one version is outdated

Well the site has 2 links for the one .cia, one says part 1 the other says part 2
like some files hosted on upload sites, i guess it is split.
download both and join them back together with some program. it depends how they were split. they might simply be split rars, etc

Wouldn't that just give me 2 seperate .cia files though? I want them together as one
if I understood correctly, you have 2 .rar file
You can see the rar file as a compressed folder cut in half.
the full file name (if I'm not mistaken I) is xxxxxx.cia.partX.rar

Edit: my bad, i don't understood this.

If you have multiple RAR files that have the same CIA filename inside them, just put them in the same directory and extract the RAR that's called part1, or .001, or whatever is closest to that. That should give you one CIA you can use.

So I put both rar files in the same directory and then just extract the part one rar?

Yes. Large files are split into 'multi-rars' so they don't exceed the file size limit of the hosting site. Just download all parts to the same location and extract the first part.
This is it.
It'a compressed file.
So download 7zip (free) or download winrar (shareware), install this and right click on your file 7zip> (or winrar) extract to...

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
