This is a 3DS to CIA converter that uses only ExHeader XORpads (the first KB of the xorpad) and nothing else.

Features

• Simple to use.
• Support of zipped roms and xorpads.
• Portable.
• Open Source (GPLv2).

User guide

Put your roms in the roms directory, xorpads in the xorpads directory and launch the program.

If you don't have the xorpad the tool will generate an ncchinfo.bin file that must be used with Decrypt9WIP.

You can also use zipped roms and multiple xorpad zipped.

Zipped xorpads must also contains CRC32 of the ROM in filename (TITLEID.CRC32.Main.exheader.xorpad).

The resulting CIAs will be found in cia directory.

Known issues

Large roms (more than 2GB) cannot be converted on 32-bit operating systems or if you are using a 32-bit make_cia.
