Hacking Error when attempting to rebuild DLC as .cia using ctrtool

[Foxes]

EDIT: Title should say makerom, not ctrtool

I've been attempting to follow this tutorial by @geddanof and this tutorial by @RainThunder in order to rebuild 3DS DLC as a .cia (the DLC for PMD: Gates to Infinity in my case), but I've been having trouble. I dump the DLC as a .cia using GodMode9 and extract it using ctrtool with the command

ctrtool "GtIDLC.cia" --content=c

which works perfectly fine. But when it comes to rebuilding it, I use the command

makerom -f cia -rsf rom.rsf -o DLC.cia -ckeyid 0 -major 0 -minor 1 -micro 0 -DSaveSize=0 -dlc -i c.0000.00000000:0x0000:0x00000000 -i c.000a.0000000a:0x000a:0x0000000a -i c.000b.0000000b:0x000b:0x0000000b -i c.000c.0000000c:0x000c:0x0000000c -i c.0001.00000001:0x0001:0x00000001 -i c.0002.00000002:0x0002:0x00000002 -i c.0003.00000003:0x0003:0x00000003 -i c.003a.0000003a:0x003a:0x0000003a -i c.003b.0000003b:0x003b:0x0000003b -i c.003c.0000003c:0x003c:0x0000003c -i c.003d.0000003d:0x003d:0x0000003d -i c.003e.0000003e:0x003e:0x0000003e -i c.0004.00000004:0x0004:0x00000004 -i c.0005.00000005:0x0005:0x00000005 -i c.0006.00000006:0x0006:0x00000006 -i c.0007.00000007:0x0007:0x00000007 -i c.0008.00000008:0x0008:0x00000008 -i c.0009.00000009:0x0009:0x00000009 -i c.0033.00000033:0x0033:0x00000033 -i c.0034.00000034:0x0034:0x00000034 -i c.0035.00000035:0x0035:0x00000035 -i c.0036.00000036:0x0036:0x00000036 -i c.0037.00000037:0x0037:0x00000037 -i c.0038.00000038:0x0038:0x00000038 -i c.0039.00000039:0x0039:0x00000039 -i c.0065.00000065:0x0065:0x00000065

which results in the error

Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

It's already a cia, why do you need to do this?
There is a better way not using makerom or a rsf file.

There is a better way not using makerom or a rsf file.

Because when trying to install it in Citra it gives the error "This file must be decrypted before being used with Citra", but GodMode9's decrypt option does nothing to the file. I decrypted it using 3DS Batch Decryptor, and while that does allow the file to be installed in Citra, it only actually installs around 10MB of the 72MB DLC, and attempting to actually go to any of the DLC dungeons just kicks you out of the menu without loading the dungeon. So, I thought I'd try simply extracting it then rebuilding it to see if that made any difference.

By looking online I found a download of a .cia for the DLC, but it includes a bunch of garbage data from the unused DLCs. However, this DLC does actually install properly, unlike my dumped DLCs. By extracting it and comparing it to my dumped DLC, I was able to find out which files were the garbage data and delete them, and I tested this by installing the DLC in Citra, going to the installed files and deleting the garbage data, then launching the game, and this works 100% completely flawlessly. But when I try to rebuild this DLC with the garbage data removed usnig the command

makerom -f cia -rsf rom.rsf -o DLC.cia -ckeyid 0 -major 0 -minor 1 -micro 0 -DSaveSize=0 -dlc -i c.0000.345057da:0x0000:0x00000000 -i c.000a.489a712c:0x000a:0x0000000a -i c.000b.429f4150:0x000b:0x0000000b -i c.000c.20a2030d:0x000c:0x0000000c -i c.0001.01b526b0:0x0001:0x00000001 -i c.0002.36813de7:0x0002:0x00000002 -i c.0003.66574657:0x0003:0x00000003 -i c.003a.604a53de:0x003a:0x0000003a -i c.003b.25db38e8:0x003b:0x0000003b -i c.003c.7402694d:0x003c:0x0000003c -i c.003d.4e6538f3:0x003d:0x0000003d -i c.003e.41a866ed:0x003e:0x0000003e -i c.0004.3983227e:0x0004:0x00000004 -i c.0005.6e4b7235:0x0005:0x00000005 -i c.0006.45e96935:0x0006:0x00000006 -i c.0007.425536a5:0x0007:0x00000007 -i c.0008.033b6e4d:0x0008:0x00000008 -i c.0009.43d9281f:0x0009:0x00000009 -i c.0033.61e81808:0x0033:0x00000033 -i c.0034.1f1b4be1:0x0034:0x00000034 -i c.0035.121c7a2e:0x0035:0x00000035 -i c.0036.7d74188e:0x0036:0x00000036 -i c.0037.6cdf7d3d:0x0037:0x00000037 -i c.0038.45f521b4:0x0038:0x00000038 -i c.0039.17336725:0x0039:0x00000039 -i c.0065.6e4d00c7:0x0065:0x00000065

You might have an outdated version of makerom. Earlier versions might not support DLC. I remember it being hard to find the latest version, because it was updated unofficially after the original dev left the scene.

Thanks, but it wasn't that. I did find the solution though (to this part of the problem at least). All I needed to do was just add -ignoresign to the command and after that it worked fine.
