Undecrypt Roms for Citra, anyone?

[InkBoyJay]

Just to open:
I just joined and I’m just a kid, so my access to the internet is pretty limited.
Ok, so I have a question. (Gasp! Wow! A question! Amazing!!!) Ok all joking aside, I really do have a question that needs answering.
So my dumb butt wants to play Pokémon Star on console, because Citra is slow and I don’t like the controls. Problem is, I can’t find a rom that is not decrypted!!! (From my, y’know, very limited access to the internet.)
I do, in fact have CFW running on my 3ds and I was wondering if there is an application for 3ds or Mac, or even a function on GM9 that will allow me to “dedecrypt” in a sense, Citra Roms. Thank you in advance, and stay fresh.

I think GM9 can do it if you select the ROM, there should be some options that have to do with encryption.
But decrypted CIAs should work just fine on CFW as is. .3DS ROMs will have to be converted to CIA, the easiest way to do that is also with GM9.

Hello.

Welcome to GBAtemp.

A not so good Introduction maybe....
Asking for Roms on your first Post....

You maybe read the Rules and Terms on your Registration ?
Fine.
Then you will know,that you will find not a single Rom here.
Because it is against the Rules of GBAtemp.

I wish you a good Time here,have Fun and please search for Roms in the Internet.

Thank you.

 

[InkBoyJay]

Ok first:
I wasn’t asking for Roms at all! Just if anyone knew how to convert them. But thank you for your concern with my following the guidelines. To the Real JDBye:
Thank you! So the encryption is opposite to the decryption and basically reversed it?

Thank you for your help! I had no idea that decrypted Roms worked fine. Also, encryption is the opposite of decryption and reverses it?

Thank you for your concern with my following the rules. No Roms were being asked for, just a question. Also, if this intro post doesn’t suffice, I can make a new one!

One more thing:
The Pokémon star download said something about a “garc”? I have literally no idea what the heck that is, and would like to. I can quote it for you if you’d like.

Introduction is the "First Look" as you know.
(And also "Nintendo and Company" reads here too on GBAtemp.)
"One" is currently a bit "sensitive".This was not meant badly.
Excuse me,if I "scared" you.

Good to see your first Question was answered very quick and it helped you.

Have a good Time and
Thank you.

It is ok, no harm done. Sorry too :-: and I wasn’t aware that Nintendo Co. read here!
And thank you for the reassurance/compliment. (Sry I don’t know what to call it.)

garc

I might be wrong, bear with me, as my 3DS hacking knowledge is a little spotty, but I think GARC files are parts of Pokemon games, such as the compressed textures? I'm not entirely sure, but that's what I seem to remember. This tool may help.

Thank you! I will definitely look into that.

Is citra a good 3ds emulator ? I am thinking of downloading citra to run my 3ds homebrew code from a PC but I do not know if it is a good emulator to do this thanks

Citra is a great emulator!
Problem is, you can only use decrypted Roms (which can be made with a 3ds running cfw.) I also recommend at least a 32 bit computer with plenty of RAM to spare.

Oh then this is not the emulator for me do you know if there are any emulators that will run a .3dsx file ? thanks

Oh. I don’t. I think the real 3ds would be your best bet. Sorry I couldn’t help you. I would ask arwoubd though!(or if you link the file I can test it.)

Well shoot! Guess I can't use my Amiga 1200 to run Citra after all then

Welcome to GBAtemp BTW

No problem. I’m not an expert, so definitely ask around. Hope my (very!) limited experience can help.

 

[SomeGamer]

do you know if there are any emulators that will run a .3dsx file ?

Yes, Citra. Just open 3dsx files as you would do for games. I also recommend at least a 64-bit computer because Citra is unsupported on 32-bit ones.

You can always use FTP if you want to test on real hardware.
