When I try to rebuild my cia it says its done but no cia appears.

After trying .3ds files from multiple sources, including my own, it seems that v9 of Hackingtoolkit does not support extracting files from Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon .3ds. No files are created during the process no matter the source, and they sure don't work with v10+ as v10 and onward only support encrypted files.
Perhaps if a v13 is released, the option for Encrypted and Decrypted files is there and hopefully this issue is fixed?

I keep trying to download the file but it does not create a folder that I can open it is just a file that I still can not open. Am I missing something?

The extraction is working just fine, but there is only one problem for me… When I go to the folder Sound/Stream, it seems it only extracted all the sound effects, but no BGM to be found.

Is there a reason for that? …. I tried with another game, but still the same thing. :(

Thanks in advance for your help!

When I try to rebuild a .3ds it makes the customExeFS and customRomFS files in the PackHack folder, takes about a minute, then makes a 0kb .3ds file.

I decrypted the file many times and still isnt extracting the cia

When I extract the cia it does not extract the folders

Currently, to make a modded CIA for a digital title, the user has to:

• Copy content from CDN or 3DS (unless using GodMode9 to create CIA from data on 3ds or using CDN to CIA tool)
• Build CIA from content using external tool
• Copy CIA into folder
• Extract CIA
• Edit
• Rebuild CIA

If the program adds support for tmd/content files the user just has to:

• Copy content into folder
• Extract CIA
• Edit
• Rebuild CIA

Which makes the process much quicker.

Surely the setup exe just extracts some files? Why does it need admin access?

i have a simple question for anybody. WHY IS MY 3DS FILE THRICE SMALLER THAN THE ORIGINAL ONE?

I recently pointed a friend to your tool and they're having issues extracting DLC files, are they even supported or is there some sort of discrepancy with the file in question? (afaik it's not decrypted)

I'm using V11. When I run a rebuilt "Super Mario Land (USA) (v16) - built with make_cdn_cia using ticket from CDN-FX (md5 of cia: a9c4ec2cfe117620b08d8ec68b54963c)" , with no changes made, I get a Luma3DS crash.

An error occured (ErrDisp)
Error type: generic
Process ID: 15
Process name: menu
Process title ID: 0x00040003000009802

Address: 0x0029504
Error code: 0xc8804464

Press any button to reboot

Is this a known error?

I have tried to repeatedly extract a decrypted CIA of Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition. There is no error given by Decrypt9.

I run HackingToolkit3ds. Put in CE, then the name of my CIA file. (Special.cia, without the .cia, of course)
It says the following:

Please wait, extraction in progress...
Extraction done!
Press any key to continue...

This happens in less than 20 seconds, with no visible folders appearing in the PackHack folder.

i cant seem to find a way to extract files from the BIN files generated by the CIA i extracted, keep in mind i never got the option of extracting code.bin like in the tutorial, hell, in the video it works as intended, but i cant make it work on the latest version

I downloaded the program, then ran SetupUS.exe. After that, I copied a 3ds file of pokemon ultra moon into the folder with HackingToolkit9DS, renamed it to have no spaces, and then ran HackingToolkit9DS. I pressed d to extract, then typed in the name of the file without typing '.3ds'. After a while, it finished, and a bunch of .bin files were created, but no folders were. How can I fix this issue?

im new to moding and 3ds files ive always just played it on my actual 3ds but i want to randomize my pokemon game but when i extract a file using hackingtoolkit.3ds nothing happens no files get extracted idk what im doing wrong ive looked for answers for 2 days literally dont know what to do PLEASE HELP!
ive done everything in the guides and videos and i somehow jsut fuck it up

I tried extracting Pokemon Ultra Moon, but no files showed up when I did so, even after removing all the spaces from the name and moving it to the same folder as the application. What should I do?

I enter the name, 0 for the minor and micro, then it says it made the cia after a respectable amount of time, but there is no cia file anywhere.
I made sure i didnt write the extension, i named it Moon (As in Pokemon Moon.)

Hi, so i got Citra and I have been wanting to play some Randomized Pokemon games on it. Didn't know how to do it so i looked up some guides and downloaded the programs PackHack and PK3DS. What is supposed to happen is that I use PackHack to extract the .3DS file and then open those files with PK3DS and be able to change the things I want. So I tried using the PackHack setup.exe file and nothing happened for about 3-5 secs when it turned into a .tmp file and disappears from my PC entirely. I also tried using the actual program as well and the same thing happened. I was using V9 of the program so i tried to redownload V9 since all the guides recommended it and said it was the best and tried the other versions that were available to download and the same thing happened. I just want to be able to play randomized versions of 3DS pokemon games.

The .tmp file names before they disappear:
Setup=JYxJApJw_WR_.tmp
Hacktool=IHqOEosR_WR_.tmp

every time i try to extract a 3ds file it instantly goes to extract finished but nothing happend

Hi, how can I re-edit the game? I want to edit the TM's and random encounter. But every time the program says the file is too big. Please help me.

Please wait, extraction in progress...

Extraction done!

Appuyez sur une touche pour continuer...
but the rom doesn't extracted
i have Ocarina of time 3D
decrypted
Cia format

Bonjour,
L'installation a un comportement étrange: indépendamment de la localisation de mon PackHack, SetupXX installe des fichiers dans "Program Files" mais néanmoins, HackingToolkit réclame une installation qui vient d’être effectuée. Des idées ?

Merci d'avance

CTRL+C (terminer le programme batch) ramène à des endroits différents du programme au lieu de quitter complètement si la touche est appuyée plusieurs fois.

Since V10, I'm no longer able to extract a homebrew cia's files (Example: PKSM, Anemone3DS).
I tested V9 and it works perfectly so something that changed in V10 has broken it.

Edit: I just realised cias have to be encrypted to work with this now. Homebrew Cias aren't encrypted which is why it was failing. Simply encrypting it with GM9 then using this worked.

Would it be possible to get an option to say if the cia is encrypted or not?
Because the whole point of adding encryption support to this app was to stop the need to use the 3ds, no?

Okay, I've tried version 12, 11 and 10.
My file does not have any spaces in it. (It is simply named "MarioMaker.cia")
It is also not in the same folder nor in the program files folder.
I wrote "MarioMaker" when told.
I also installed the setup.
I've read over these, apparently more people have this problem, but my computer is 64bit.

I tried to make minor edits (remove ghosting, dark filter, etc.) to Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (JP), but when I rebuild it, it installs fine, but crashes when I launch it. The 3DS bottom screen gives me the standard "an error has occurred, turn off your 3DS" message, so I'm not sure what's crashing it. The .cia is half the size of the original when I rebuild it, but if I extract it again, everything seems to be there. I'm using V12 of the pack, is this a known issue?

I don't remember 100% why this happened but I did have to delete it or it stoped mid way through because of an auto-update that happened
Now it won't redownload and I can't start HackingToolkit9DS

So i've tried extracting a couple decypted .3ds files but no files are appearing when it says extraction was complete, i ran the installer first, tried running as admin and made sure not to type the extension or use any special characters/spaces but it just won't work.

Running windows 10 64-bit

So I'm trying to extract my ultra moon .3ds file and it says done as if it's doing anything, but i don't get any files. What should i be doing differently? (sorry if this is a waste of your time, i never post these things on github) below is a screencap showing files, and yes i refreshed the files window many times

None of the versions of HackingToolkit9DS can extract CIAs while they're both in directories including spaces. This means that directories such as for example "X:\Sample Directory 1\PackEnglishV11\PackHack" will make the CIA extraction impossible, on the other hand it works fine when the directory has no such characters. This means locations like "X:\Sample1\PackEnglishV11\PackHack" will work just fine.

It also doesn't throw out any error messages, it says it finished a second or two after the process is started, which, compared to the actual time that needs to elapse for the extraction to finish is unbelevable and could fool people into thinking this tool is just a scam.

This honestly wasted me 2 hours of trying to get this tool to work and it should at least be noted when starting the process.

For reference, it only asks for the file name to be lacking spaces, but not the directory the program is located in.
EDIT:Upon looking through other issues i noted that it happens with .3ds extraction as well.

I have a problem with decrypting .3ds files. In console(in program) i enter "d" to extract .3ds file, then enter correct name of file, then after five seconds the program says that it has extracted the .3ds file, but no files appears in the folder.
This problem is with "bella sara the magic horse adventures" game.
Also tried to "run as admin", but it didnt work either. I can send you .3ds encrypted file to email if you want(its only 125mb game).
Thanks in advance

So, I downloaded PictoChat.cia for 3DS and wanted to make it 3DS extension so it may work at my emulator. But, as we can see it says succed and none of the folders exits like ExtractedExeFS

Well, title says it all I guess. Just entered the file name without spaces or the extention, yet nothing seems to help

I downloaded v11 english, but SetupUS.exe wasn't there. I don't know where to get the file, so I can't use HackingToolkit9ds. Please help!

So im trying to do the get contents thing and when I do it with ultra Sun I works and gives me everything. But when I do it with ultra moon I am missing the folders! I don't know whats goin on help!

Im trying to extract a rom,but all it does is finish in1 second and there are no folders. MY system keeps quarentining a file everytime try to redownload,do i have to unquarentine it? or are you trying to give me a virus?

I am extracting my 3ds file but it is taking a long time. Should it be taking this long? Is it atuck on a loop?

I know this isn't a new issue, but none of them have been answered or solved so I'm posting in hopes I actually get a solution. I have a decrypted cia file that I want to extract, so I can use it in pk3ds. However, when I type "ce" and hit enter, it instantly says extraction complete...without actually extracting anything. I have the latest version, I'm sure that the cia has been decrypted, and I have windows 10 64 bit. The only thing I can think of is I'm somehow putting the wrong name for the file in, but I copied and pasted it in so I don't know how that could happen. The file name is 0004000000164800_v00.trim.cia
What part would I enter in? If that isn't the issue why isn't it working?

Hi! It's unfortunate that you no longer have time or simply are tired of maintaining it. Have you considered releasing the source code? It might help debugging and maybe others can fix bugs, add features, etc.

This is a bit of a stretch but I've been trying to run your program in linux using wine. I get a weird error message when i run the setupUS.exe, saying that the thing failed but then the setup runs as normal. The HackingToolkit9DS.exe on the other hand briefly opens a screen, the main black one, and then just crashes. I have no clue who else to turn to than the creator.

Getting errors for the following dlls which should mean it has been compiled in debug mode

Missing vcruntime140d.dll and ucrtbased.dll

EDIT: HackingToolkit9DS (V12)

EDIT2: Sorry, forgot to mention the problem is related to makerom!

so i extracted the original .cia made the changes and now i can't rebuild it (says finished with no cia file created). is there a way to get this working?(i am using the latest version) Please help.

Whenever I extract one of my CIA's, I end up with a bunch of stuff like "DecryptedExeFS.bin", "DecryptedExHeader.bin", "DecryptedManual.bin", "DecryptedRomFS.bin", "HeaderNCCH0.bin", "HeaderNCCH1.bin", "LogoLZ.bin", and "PlainRGN.bin". None of the folders mentioned are made. I have tried with both Pokémon Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby. I have obtained these files myself on my 3ds, and I am typing in CE because I am using a .CIA file. I don't know if I should be using a .3DS file, or how to even get a .3DS file. What program on my 3DS should I be using to obtain the CIA's? Please help me, and thanks in advance.

I have a problem with the hacking tool, i need help. Since im using a 3ds file that another post said i need to use with v9, i cant do it, it says that i need to run setupus.exe, but i dont have any setupus on my computer AT ALL. So im very sad that i wont be able to play pokemon sun, omega ruby and x randomized, since those were the games i wanted to play (files obtained legit). Please someone, help.

I'm trying to extract a .3ds and no folders are generated.
Problem occurs with V9 and V12

When using the app. B1. It reports that it has extracted. But there is nothing there. Sometimes it will delete the banner.bin file. When I manually use the command to extract the banner.bin file I get an error: “error: the file type is mismatch” I removed the extension also and still get the error. Has anyone else had this issue or know a better solution to extract banner and icon.bin

CIA extraction does not extract into folder for version newer than V9.

V9 does works as intended. I use the English Pack.

am i missing something, or is there no setup file?
