Batch CIA 3DS Decryptor Redux

Logo

A batch for decrypting Nintendo 3DS games and applications (3DS/CIA files)


Batch CIA 3DS Decryptor Redux is a rewritten version of the Batch CIA 3DS Decryptor by matiffeder.

Original thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/batch-cia-3ds-decryptor-a-simple-batch-file-to-decrypt-cia-3ds.512385/

GitHub Release Issues GitHub Repo stars

Redux features

  • Improved error handling. Invalid CIAs, already decrypted and TWL CIAs will be detected.
  • Improved script logging. Logging title, title version. Check programlog.txt for more details in the log folder.
  • Proper CIA versioning. Decrypted files will use the same version as the source file. No more version 0 for update CIAs.
  • Fixed decryption for CIA Demo titles and System titles
  • Updated CTRTool to v1.2.0 (x64)
  • Updated makerom.exe to v0.18.4 (x64)
  • Including seeddb.bin for games using seed crypto introduced in 9.6.0-24

Original features

  • DLC/Patch CIA > Decrypted CIA, able to install in Citra
  • 3DS Games > Decrypted and trimmed 3DS, so it is smaller
  • CIA Games > Decrypted CCI (NCSD), not CXI (NCCH)
  • Auto detect CIA type (DLC/Patch/Game)

Usage

  • Copy CIA or 3DS files into the root directory containing the batch
  • Run "Batch CIA 3DS Decryptor Redux.bat"

Supported operating systems

  • Windows XP (x64) or higher
  • Windows Server 2003 R2 (x64) or higher

Notes

  • Already decrypted CIA files won't be converted to CCI. This tool is still a decrypter, not a converter.
  • TWL files (Nintendo DSi) are not compatible with CTRTool. TWL CIAs do not need to be decrypted.
