Do I click on the link by the smiley face? It's not downloading it for me.

It's a magnet link. You need a bittorrent client to use it. Something like Deluge, BitTorrent, uTorrent, etc.

Ok, the torrent is currently seeding. What do I do now?

The file is downloaded. You can continue to seed or turn it off now.

Ok, NOW when I run the program it takes me back to homebrew.

What are you trying to run? This thread is for PC program. I'm not sure what you're doing.

When I launch the installed .cia non of the changes have been applied. Is there a fix for this?

OHHHH! I'm running homebrew on my 3ds. Sorry!

EDIT: I'm trying to decrypt my .cia file. I think the tutorial is saying to go on HBL and run Decrypt9, but it justs takes me back to the HBL screen. Is there a PC HBL?

Do you have a9lh? People just usually run Decrypt9 as a a9lh payload. I never had success running Decrypt9 with HBL outside of the Guide. There won't be a PC HBL until we have sighax.

Make your CIA with the changes and install that one or use NTR or Luma3DS patching.

The problem is that the changes don't show up. But probably it lies in one of my changes.

Without knowing what you're doing, I don't know. It works. I've rebuilt CIAs and they work. I've made mistakes and made totally broken ones too. You should have all your files loose in folders to rebuild the CIA. I think that's what the program uses for input.

Okay I'll just mess around a bit

Also will editing the starters in oras work?

I don't see why not. I think it's been done before. Busty May works so it probably does. It might be more involved. Not too familiar with the game.

I've been having a issue and I apologise if this has already been said but, I've been trying to randomise X and Y. I have a decrypted cia file, I've extracted it with the hackingtoolkit so I have the romfs folder, exefs folder and all that good stuff, moved them 2 to their own folder, edited with pk3ds (trainers and wild encounters randomised), moved the folders back to where they were, rebuilt the cia and installed. Now here's my issue, whilst the trainers mons are randomised, for some reason the wild encounters are not. Also, the game will not start unless I have the update for the game installed so I have no idea what is going on. Think anyone can help me with this?

 

[chaos blast]

whenever i try to compile cia after modifying the files inside it, Ciarebuilder creates custom bin files or cia without the modified files help?

 

[XLuma]

Is there a way to extract the files on a .cia or .3ds on mac?

I am trying to download the aeskeydb.bin torrent but it seems that there are no seeds? It has been trying to download since yesterday and nothing yet is there another way I can get it?

Probably on that iso site or somewhere.

well it does the same thing to me, but it downloads fully. If there is an other way to get it, I don't know this information

@Asia81 I like that the new update now asks for Minor and Micro version numbers. Can we also have it ask for Major as well? I'm finding that I still need to rebuild my CIA's with makerom because I cannot input the Major number using your tool like I can Minor and Micro.
