So now that Luma3DS 8 is out, how can we generate xorpad files? Converting on the 3DS is too slow

I'm still on the Luma 7.0, how does one make Xorpads?
EDIT: Ncchinfo.bin refuses to be created
Is there a way to use a PC to do it? It would be much faster.

I'm glad I'm not alone. I was confused.
I figured it out. You're all most likely on BL9 (or whatever it's called). I'm on the newest Luma and newest GodMode9. GodMode9 has all of the functionality of Decrypt9, Hourglass9, etc. If you're following the recent guides and you have everything up-to-date, you can still use this tool to generate CIAs. Of course, you can generate CIAs within FBI, but it's WAAAAAAAY too slow. It takes almost as long as installing them.
So, I followed the guide up until the point where it tells you to create xorpads. Then you do the following:
1) Put the SD card back into your 3DS, hold the start button, and power on the 3DS to enter into GodMode9.
2) Press "A" on "SD", scroll down to the .bin file that you generated following the previous steps.
3) Press "A" on the .bin file and follow the options to generate xorpads. Note: Depending on how many .3DS files you are trying to create into CIAs, this will take a while. Not too long. I had about 40 I was converting, so this step took about 2 minutes.
3) After the 3DS is finished generating xorpads, power off the 3DS.
4) Take out the SD card and put it back in your computer.
5) Finish following the guide from the OP. Note: He says the "Finish" pop-up appears after the CIAs are finished being processed. However, this did not happen with me... The "Finish" pop-up appeared immediately. But in the backend, it was processing the CIAs. Don't mess with the tool. Let it run in the background. Like I said, I was generating about 40 CIAs. You can tell it's working by using your file explorer to look in the CIA folder (of the subfolder you put the CIA converter tool).
Hope this helps somebody.
