User guide
The below tutorial will try to help you extract a 3DS|CIA|CXI file to change its content using HackingToolkit9DS, and will also explain how to rebuild your game once edited.
Requirements
You will need:
- An encrypted 3DS|CIA|CXI file (It can either be a game, game's update, system application, but not a DLC file nor a DSi Ware).
- WinRAR, or another archive extractor.
- HackingToolkit9DS.
Prerequisites:
- Install the new SetupUS|FR.exe of HackingToolkit9DS as a common tool.
Extracting
Open HackingToolkit9DS. Note that your file(s) should not have any spaces in its(their) name(s), nor special characters, like é or à (e.g. PokemonMoon.3ds).
- To extract a 3DS file - Write "D", and enter the name of your .3DS file, without its extension.
- To extract a CIA file - Write "CE", and enter the name of your .CIA file, without its extension.
- To extract a CXI file - Write "CXI", and enter the name of your .CXI file, without its extension.
Wait while it's extracting, contents will be extracted into their respective folders:
- ExeFS content - ExtractedExeFS folder.
- RomFS content - ExtractedRomFS folder.
- DownloadPlay - ExtractedDownloadPlay folder.
- Old3DS update - ExtractedO3DSUpdate folder.
- New3DS update - ExtractedN3DSUpdate folder.
- Manual - ExtractedManual folder.
- 3D Banner - ExtractedBanner folder.
Now you can move onto the editing section if you want to modify the game.
Editing
Edit music, textures, banner, icon, etc.
If you want, you can also edit the UniqueID of your game:
- After extracting your game, open your DecryptedExHeader.bin in HxD, and do a hexadecimal search with the UniqueID, reversed.
- So if your UniqueID is 17 BA, search for BA 17 (it's Bravely Second USA).
- Replace it anywhere it appears with the one you want.
- Do the exact same thing with all HeaderNCCH.bin files.
- Note that it does not work with Pokémon Games [XY|ORAS|SM] due to the plainrgn.bin file.
- It can be however be very useful without Makerom, RSF, and other things.
Once you have finished editing, you will need to rebuild your game.
Rebuilding
Open HackingToolkit9DS:
- If you want to rebuild a 3DS file - Write "R", then enter the name you want for the output file.
- If you want to rebuild a CIA file - Write the "CR" command, then enter the name you want for the output file.
- You will be also asked to enter a minor and micro version number.
- You can enter the number you want (0 if you don't know what to choose), but it's recommended to use the original version.
- To check, copy your clean/original CIA on your SD, open FBI and or TitleManager (no need to install it, just look the upper screen).
- Then check the both last numbers in Version [MAJOR|MINOR|MICRO].
Troubleshoting
For it to work properly, please make sure that:
- Your 3DS|CIA|CXI file is clean and not decrypted by Decrypt9 or GodMode9.
- Your 3DS|CIA|CXI file doesn't have any space or special character in its name (such as é or à).
- Your 3DS|CIA|CXI file is in the same folder as HackingToolkit9DS.
- You're not trying to extract the file in the ProgramFiles folder (where installed core files are).
- To write or don't write the extension of your file when specified.
- To have installed the setup package for your language (SetupXX.exe file).
