Hello, how do i use this, when i open it it says:

citra-cxi-maker <main-file> [<update-file>]
citra-cxi-maker <main-folder>
...or drag-and-drop.

what does that mean and what does it want me to do, whenever i press a button the thing closes

@but You can use the tool by either drag-and-dropping your game file/folder onto it, or via command line interface as per those usage instructions.

i have tried dragging the game but it just closes the thing

@but Did you extract the archive first?

 

[but]

what does that mean

 

[eqagunn]

@but The tool you have downloaded comes compressed as a zip archive along with the other files it depends on. If you try to use it straight from within the archive it won't work. All the contents of the archive need to be extracted first (Right click on it > Extract all) into a new folder. This is the very basic first step you need to do for every archive you ever come upon unless you are sure whatever is inside has no dependencies. Once extracted, drag-and-dropping your game file onto citra-cxi-maker will output a new cxi file into the newly created output folder.
