Moved the .bin file into luma/payloads and assigned to a key by renaming it. I tried with X (x_d9.bin) and right (right_d9.bin) and start, didn't work. What am I doing wrong? I have no trouble booting godmode9, even though it's a .firm file, shouldn'd decrypt boot the same way?
 
Solution
If you have boot9strap, the payloads are all .firm, a .bin won't work. If you're following a guide and it says to use a .bin, it's outdated. Use The Guide.

And for what would you want Decrypt9?

Oh, I see. ...Well, I'm trying to convert some of my games back to CIAS so I can move the files to the new o3DS I bought. I can't just download them, since my internet connection downloads with 20KB per sec. I read in a guide somewhere that Decrypt9 can do that.

Ok, found it in .firm. Yet, converting games back to .CIA is a lot more complicated than it should be. I didn't manage to get it work, I got error messages writing that my sd card is formated the wrong way or something.
Guess it's not worth the fuss and I'll simply download them.
I wish FBI is gonna add the option at some point though.

And again, thanks for answering!

Format your card as FAT32 with a cluster size of 32kb.

And you should try to download them from freeShop instead of using .cias. It's just easier, even if you have to get internet from a friend's house or something.

Sure, but I like GBA and SNES games, and undubbed versions of 3ds games when they are available. Can't get those on freeshop. For all the rest though, it's really decent

Converting gamecarts to CIA is easy. Just boot up GM9, go to the [C:] GAMECART drive, and press A on the .trim.3ds file. Go to NCSD Image Options... -> Build CIA from file. Once it completes, you will find a .trim.cia file in 0:/gm9/out ready to be installed.
