I have boot9.bin in the 3ds converter root. 3DS Simple CIA Converter 프로그램에서 'Convert 3DS ROM to CIA' 버튼을 눌러준다. 창이뜨면 3ds가 보관되어있던 폴더를 선택해주고 아래 사진처럼 finished가 뜰때까지 기다려준다. 게임 용량에 따라 변환시간이 각기 다르므로 조금 기다리고 있으면 뜬다. 1) Download 3DS to CIA Simple Converter program attached to this post. (I used RAR; they're the same thing) 2) Extract it anywhere. Use 7-zip or WinRAR if downloading the RAR archive. 3) Run the.exe program. 4) Click 'Create ncchinfo.bin file' and select your 3DS ROM. Save the 'ncchinfo.bin' file to your SD Card. Don't rename it.

I know this question must have been asked (and answered) a million of times, but.The more i read online the less i understand. I have some 3ds roms that i want to convert in cia to play online without worries. Now, i read that thx to a program called '3DS Simple CIA Converter' i should be able to do it, but i should create the xorpads too. For the second step, i saw that i have to install rxtools, and then with this xorpads i'll be able to create the cia with safe online play. But.i read about rxtools having his emunand, the same as the gateway (that i own) and i don't want to create some strange behaviour with my beloved flashcard. Can someone explain how to install rxtools in a safe way or how can i play online without worries with an alternative metod? Thx in advance, hope the post does not violate any rule in the forum.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!You both seem a little bit confused right nowFirst of all, short explanation about Xorpads:Xorpads are something like 'decryption keys' for encrypted partitions in a.3ds or.cia file. In order to convert.3ds to.cia files, you need to decrypt the contents of the.3ds file and you achieve that with xorpads. In order to convert a.3ds file, you DO need those xorpads (or you can use rxTools to decrypt the.3ds file directly; in that case rxTools 'applies those xorpads directly' to the.3ds file and saves the result).You simply cannot convert a normal.3ds file (as they are usually encrypted) to a.cia file without decrypting it somehow first.The simplest way would be to download ready-to-go.cia files from that famous ISO site on the web about the 3DS.

If you use ready-to-go CIA files, you don't need rxTools at all.Furthermore, there's nothing to be afraid. As you already read, rxTools (which is a CFW) and Gateway use the same emunand. In fact, every CFW and Gateway use the same emunand partition.

You won't mess anything up with using rxTools on your console. But if you really want to avoid that, you can also use for xorpad generation or.3ds file decryption (which is what I use by the way, works fine).@escequi: Zero-key encrypted roms can be converted without Xorpads because there is no 'key' at allXorpads are what there name says: Pads (= keys) for a xor operation (exclusive or). If every bit of the key for a xor operation is zero, the input doesn't change at all, so zero-key encryption basically means unencrypted.

Format Overviews[edit]

NCCH[edit]

Cia

The native format storing code binaries and data archives for the 3DS is NCCH. NCCH files are comprised of:

  • code/exheader/plainregion (used for code execution) (plainregion just lists included SDK library add-ons)
  • icon (app title text, icon, homemenu settings, see here
  • banner (cbmd + cwav, i.e. the upper screen banner/sound shown on the homemenu)
  • logo (the splash screen displayed after an application is launched from the homemenu)
  • romfs (read-only filesystem used to store resources)

Typical uses for NCCH files include:

  • Executable image (code+exheader+icon+banner+logo+romfs)
  • e-Manual archive (accessed from homemenu) (romfs)
  • DLP child CIA archive (accessed from application) (romfs)
  • Update Data archive (romfs)
  • Standalone data archive (romfs)
  • DLC index archive (icon+romfs)
  • DLC archive (romfs)

CCI[edit]

The native format for gamecard images is CCI and is a NCCH container format. CCI files are limited to containing 8 NCCH files, and can contain NCCH files for applications titles only.

NCCH configuration for CCI[edit]

NCCHRequiredIndex
Executable imageYES0
e-Manual archiveNO1
DLP child CIA archiveNO2
Update Data archiveNO7

CIA[edit]

The native format for packaging NCCH files for install is CIA, which is also a NCCH container format. CIA files are limited to containing 65535 NCCH files and can be used to contain NCCH files for any title type. CIA files also contain signed data used by the 3DS for general title management and DRM. Installing custom CIA files on a 3DS which also uses eShop/SysUpdates is unwise as conflicts will likely occur.

Using Makerom[edit]

3ds

Command line[edit]

General Arguments

ArgumentAcceptable valuesNotes
-f <format>'ncch'/'cxi'/'cfa'/'cci'/'cia'Specify the output file format. 'ncch'/'cxi'/'cfa' has no affect, probably parsed without error for legacy support.
-o <path>Valid file path.Specify name/path for output file. Makerom will decided a name if this is not specified.
-vnot requiredEnables verbose output.

RSF Arguments

ArgumentAcceptable valuesNotes
-rsf <path>Valid file pathSpecify the path to Rom Specification File(RSF). See below for creating RSF.
-D<NAME>=<VALUE>This is used to substitute where '$(<NAME>)' exists in the RSF files with '<VALUE>'. (Uppercase isn't a requirement)

Crypto Arguments

ArgumentAcceptable valuesNotes
-target <target>'t'/'d'/'p'Specify key-chain. This affects encryption, signing and '-desc' template availability. t=test, suitable for homebrew. d=devkit(incomplete), suitable for devkits. p=retail(unusable), suitable for signing retail software?
-ckeyid <index>Any value between 0-255 (inclusive).Overrides the default common key used to encrypt CIA title keys.
-showkeysnoneDumps loaded key-chain to stdout.

NCCH Build Arguments

ArgumentAcceptable valuesNotes
-elf <file>Valid file pathSpecify ELF. See below for creating ELF.
-icon <file>Valid file pathSpecify icon.
-banner <file>Valid file pathSpecify banner.
-desc <apptype>:<fw><apptype>='app'/'ecapp'/'demo'/'dlpchild'. <fw>='kernel version minor'.Use a template for exheader/accessdesc. These are hard-coded, so not all firmwares have a template. A value from 1-7 can be used in place of 'kernel version minor'. A template shouldn't be used if the title needs 'special' permissions, the RSF must be configured fully.
-exefslogononeInclude logo in ExeFS. Required for usage on <5.0 systems.

Arguments useful for rebuilding a NCCH file:

ArgumentAcceptable valuesNotes
-code <file>Valid file pathSpecify decompressed/plaintext exefs code binary.
-exheader <file>Valid file pathSpecify plaintext exheader binary.
-logo <file>Valid file pathSpecify logo.
-plainrgn <file>Valid file pathSpecify NCCH plain-region.
-romfs <file>Valid file pathSpecify an unencrypted RomFS binary.

CCI Arguments

ArgumentAcceptable valuesNotes
-content <path>:<index><path>=Valid file path. <index>=Any value between 0-7 (inclusive)Include a built NCCH file in the CCI container. '-i' can be used instead of '-content'.
-devccinoneBuild a debug CCI?
-nomodtidnoneDon't modify the TitleIds of NCCH files included to match NCCH0
-alignwrnoneAlign the offset for the Card2 writable region to the end of the last NCCH in the CCI.

CIA Arguments

ArgumentAcceptable valuesNotes
-content <path>:<index>:<id><path>=Valid file path. <index>=Any value between 0x0-0xFFFF (inclusive). <id>=Any value between 0x0-0xFFFFFFFF (inclusive)Include a built NCCH file in the CIA container. If <id> isn't specified, it will be generated randomly. '-i' can be used instead of '-content'.
-major <version>Any value between 0-63 (inclusive)Specify the version major for the title. This cannot be used with '-dver'.
-minor <version>Any value between 0-63 (inclusive)Specify the version minor for the title. This cannot be used with '-dver'.
-micro <version>Any value between 0-15 (inclusive)Specify the version micro for the title.
-dver <version>Any value between 0-4095 (inclusive)Specify the or '-minor'.
-dlcnoneSpecify this flag when building a DLC CIA.
-randnoneUse a random title key to encrypt CIA content.

Examples[edit]

General examples:

Create CXI

Create CFA

Download

Create CCI

Create CIA


Makerom supports building a NCCH file and including it automatically (as index 0) into a NCCH container:

Create CCI and CXI at the same time and include a CFA

Create CIA and CXI at the same time and include a CFA

Rebuilding CXI:

Creating RSF files[edit]

Inspired by Nintendo's format for their makerom, a yaml configuration file is required for creating NCCH files. CIA/CCI can be created without using a RSF file, but default settings will be used.

For CXI, RSF files can be used to specify permissions, and access control settings. Makerom can use default settings by use of the '-desc' option, which removes the requirement for specifying them in the RSF file.

Sample RSF to be used without '-desc': download

Creating ELF files[edit]

The latest devkitARM used in conjunction with ctrulib can create ELF files compatible with makerom.

Converter

ELF files that are created using the official SDK are also supported by makerom.

Compiling Source[edit]

For Windows a MinGW-W64/MSYS build setup is required.

For Linux, gcc/g++/make must be installed.

All additional libraries used by makerom (polarssl/libyaml) are included in the source, and are linked statically.
