So does this not support NDS files dumped using GM9? I'd like to edit my Pokemon Diamond, and the only way I know to extract it is with this..
For NDS roms you need a file explorer, not extractor. You can go with NitroExplorer2 or 3 for any NDS rom, while you can go with NPRE for gen 4 Pokemon game editing/extracting, but you always have to extract files individually for NDS ones. You only need 6-7 files total anyway though, so it's no biggie.So does this not support NDS files dumped using GM9?

Thank you, I'll try that. What I'm trying to do is ROM hack, with pk3DS. I want to do some custom evolution lines.For NDS roms you need a file explorer, not extractor.

For that you need to extract the necessary data files using the programs I suggested and use DSPokemonEditor to edit them and their evolutionary lines (stats, abilities, etc. can be edited). Here's a good site with everything you will need and it even lists what files you need to extract from the NDS ROM for each program to work: https://hackromtools.altervista.org/hack-tools-nds/Thank you, I'll try that.

So guys... Today I upgraded my laptops ram to 16 GB. Hopefully the .3ds will be created. I am afraid.Hello guys,I've read some posts in this thread but I cannot find a solution for the 0KBs file while trying to rebuild the 3DS (Since the CIA cannot be created), I've used versions 11,10,9... Still getting the same 0KBs file.Could anyone give me some assistance please ?
Btw: My computer is X64 & has 8GBs RAM. Could this affect the generation of the .3DS File ?
Thanks a lot !
Sadly, it is not an Issue related to the RAM... I think... I still get the 0KBs .3DS file.So guys... Today I upgraded my laptops ram to 16 GB. Hopefully the .3ds will be created. I am afraid.
Nevermind, I just used cmd & PK3DS & finally got this.So guys... Today I upgraded my laptops ram to 16 GB. Hopefully the .3ds will be created. I am afraid.

Any help on this pls ?
Your tutorial is wrong. HackingToolKit9DS ONLY works with encrypted files. You need to edit it to say HackingToolKit3DS as that version ONLY works with decrypted files. All these people having issues have been told this countless times, not to mention Asia81 made the announcement about the change right here in this thread when it happened. You can only do so much to stop user error, people just need to pay attention to what they're doing.Just for the heck of it, I will post a way to decrypt cias the old way since I'd like to help. Do be aware that there's probably another way but this way worked for me.
1) First download Decrypt9 and place it in your payloads folder.
2) Download the 3DS slotkeys from this site https://github.com/mariogamer2/3ds_key
3) Download aeskeydb.bin (Cannot give link due to copyright. Google it if you need it)
4) Extract the files and place them in a folder called Files9 on your SD card root (make it if you don't have one)
5) Place your cia in the Files9 folder
6) Load up Decrypt9, select Content Decryptor Options -> CIA File Options... -> CIA Decryptor (deep)
7) Now wait until it is done and then you can extract and hack using Asia81's PackHack with HackingToolkit9DS
If there are any errors, just PM me or something
I've never been able to use the rebuild CIA feature of HackingToolKit. However, there are plenty other CMD programs you can use to do the same thing. Anyway if you're well versed in these things why not try .Net 3DS Toolkit? Or 3DSconv if you successfully build a .3DS. Also, You should download the most recent version of simple cia converter which doesn't require the xorpads created from the header (ncch.bin) as long as your dumped "boot9" is present in the directory. I'm just going to assume you forgot that you need xorpads to use that program unless you supply your boot rom.ok. ok.
i am so frustrated right now, but i will try to keep this post coherent and polite, so apologies if the tone is off.
i'm trying to rebuild a CIA with a custom banner. I have the banner done, and so now I'm trying to repack to cia.
i have tried dozens of times, with v9, v11, encrypted rom, decrypted rom, trimmed, non-trimmed, .cia, .3ds, going from .3ds > .cia using a variety of methods to extract this game, put in my banner, and turn it into a cia. nothing works. NOTHING. it either spits out decrypted .bins but not their folders (fs1/fs2/me don't do anything but give an empty folder) or, the one time I did manage to get a properly rebuilt exefs using my prior files, wouldn't compile to a cia for some reason that it wouldn't tell me. it did compile to .3ds, but then the 'simple cia converter' decided to complain about the header.
before you ask, yes i'm using a clean rom (built it myself from my personal cart) and I ran setup.exe. Many times.
please, someone, tell me what I'm missing. I like to think I know what I'm doing, but clearly not anymore.
The CIA rebuild feature has always been working in V9 or lower, but not in V10+ (It's even written in the changelog).ok. ok.

Changelog V11 (09/07/2017)
Hotfix for .3DS rebuild.
.CIA rebuild still in progress.
Then the rom may not be clean, it depend on what you used to dump it.a clean rom (built it myself from my personal cart)
I'm using latest godmode9, and I tried dumping to cia, encrypted 3ds, and decrypted 3ds.Then the rom may not be clean, it depend on what you used to dump it.
Running 64bit windows 10.Also, is your OS a 32b or 64b ?
Sure.And at the end, could you give me a screenshot of your folder, where you game is (the directory you use).
The "SetupUS" basically just puts the necessary files like the "makerom" one in the install directory, nothing else. Have you tried running it with admin privileges? Quite often (for me at least), cmd programs that only pop-up for a split second run properly if I run as admin. As for why cmd doesn't work in general for you, it's something you did most likely...HUGE Necobump I know but it's an issue. I installed the SetupUS, moved my 3ds file in the directory and started up the Hack tool. But I can't open the hack tool. It flashes a cmd box and doesn't open. I then thought of just typing the exe into a command prompt box. But I can't open CMD anymore. CMD Flashes for a second and doesn't open.
So this leads me to believe this modifies system files, which makes me wonder what the fuck this did to my system to the point my cmd doesn't work. Help would be appreciated.
