A cross platform injector for 3DS video CIAs. Currently supports for Windows and Linux.

Features

• Create video injects - Input .moflex videos, images, and text, and the program will build a .cia file for you.
• Create multi-video injects - Similar to the above, but there can be multiple videos in one .cia file.
• Unpack a video CIA - Load parameters from a .cia file to edit and rebuild.
• Save and load parameters - Save your place and come back later, they can even be saved/loaded automatically.
• Configure the interface for any language - If you can translate it, you can add it.

User guide

Translation files:

• To use the provided translations, extract the Vidinjector9000Resources directory from the zip you want to the directory with the binary.

Tips:

• Click the icon preview to change border modes!
• Open a project file (.vi9p) with the program to load in those parameters!
• Click the multi video banner preview to choose file!
• Click the logo in the top left to find to the latest release!
• If an image doesn't fit in, it will be resized and cropped!
