ctrtool, makerom and ctrdecrypt can be downloaded with dltools.sh

✅ Roadmap

• Decrypt .cia
  • Games
  • Patch and DLCs
• Decrypt .3ds
• Rust decrypt.py rewrite (ctrdecrypt)

Warning

Decryption with cia-unix may fail, when it happens it is suggested to decrypt roms directly on the 3DS.

The old python 3 version can be found here.

⚡️ Build from source

You’ll need the Crystal compiler

crystal build cia-unix.cr --release --no-debug

Dependencies can be compiled with makerom and ctrtool make files.
