[Rurounik9999]

Hello guys.
I just bought my Fantasy Life DLC here and i'm trying to make a working .CIA but i'm stuck with 2 .apps that actualy gives me 2 working .CIA, but the content are not recognized by the 3DS nor the game itself.
Is there something i'm missing?

Those are the files from Fantasy Life DLC:

Can I have more info? How you're compiling, what switches on makerom are being used, etc.

please at least add a question mark at the end of the title... it looks like a guide...

lol, that's what I thought too. It's also lacking of info to help, though.

i didn't think that you could make CIA files from DLC yet, i thought it was a well guarded secret only for the chosen few.............................sudeki300

Sorry for missing the '?' it was to late at the time i wrote this post.

I'm not an expert, not even close so i used a noob friendly guide(very noob friendly by the way).

Those are the steps i did until now:

1- Decrypted my SD with 3DS_SD_Decryptor

2- Got the Xordpads with the Launcher.dat and SDinfo.bin

3- Found decrypted xorpads of the updates within it's unique ID

4- Found the original file on my SD card in the Nintendo 3DS folder

5- Moved both files (the xorpad and original file) to the same directory where make_cia and padxorer are

6- Used the command: padxorer [originalupdatename].app [xorpadname].app.xorpad
7- Used the command: make_cia --major=(1st number) --minor=(2nd number) --micro=(3rd number) --content0=*********.app.out -o anyname.cia for both .app files from Fantasy Life as you can see at the beginning of this post(Used 0,0 and 0 cause it's a DLC and it shows 0.0.0 when i looked at it on BBBMenu)

it's 78kb actualy.
It's a content lock not a true DLC.

I see, I was going to ask if you could add the files in .zip here , but not sure if you could .

But it is getting it's info from .title data base file .

so does this mean that dlc can be dumped and installed on any 3ds using gateway?..............................sudeki300

At least with a content lock DLC like Fantasy Life, yes!!!

 

[cearp]

i'm pretty sure any dlc is possible

Version is 0.0.0

make_cia -o FantasyLife_DLC.cia --major=0 --minor=0 --micro=0 --content0=00000000.app --id_0=0 --content1=00000001.app --id_1=1

Now the .cia gets created and names it files correctly, however, the game didn't recognise my dlc until i went online.

Nice job getting it working, I've seen it posted already

make_cia -o FantasyLife_DLC.cia --major=0 --minor=0 --micro=0 --content0=00000000.app --id_0=0 --content1=00000001.app --id_1=1

makerom -o FantasyLife_DLC.cia -dlc -major 0 -minor 0 -major 0 -i 00000000.app:0:0 -i 00000001.app:1:1

 

[cearp]

makerom -o FantasyLife_DLC.cia -major 0 -minor 0 -major 0 -i 00000000.app:0:0 -i 00000001.app:1:1

is there a reason you are not using the -dlc flag?
