For old games, Nintendo put all files on CDN that we can build a DLC by downloading all CDN files (with FunkyCIA or manually download) then build a CIA with MakeRom.

This method is always used for obtaining DLC before their official release date.

But nowadays Nintendo becomes cleverer.

They intentionally hide some contents from the CDN so we can't DL all files and MakeRom can't build a CIA when one required file is missing.

For example:
Game A's DLC's required files:
cetk
tmd
00000001
00000002
00000003
00000004
All 6 files can be downloaded from CDN except 00000002.
Then MakeRom refuses to build Game A's DLC CIA until the 00000002 present.

This situation started 1 year ago and we still have no clue to deal with it.

Only method to build an incomplete DLC is:
1) Buy all DLC from e-shop
2) Dump the DLC with GodMode9
But this method is only available to share anything the DLC maker bought.

Almost correct, one content is the index (not necessarily the lowest number, check tmd with ctrtool) and must always be added so you'll usually have at least 2 contents

Are you using the special DLC option in makerom? (Not that it worked the last time I tried it)

Oh sorry I said something wrong.
It's not MakeROM but Make_CDN_CIA.

In my case:
Index 00000020
Content 00000013-00000019, 00000021
Missing 0000001A-0000001F, 00000022

I tried to delete missing contents inside TMD file then built the CIA, but make_cdn_cia reported
"One of both signatures in the TMD Cert Chain is unrecognized"

    Thanks mate.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.
