Step 1 - PreparationStep 2 - DecryptionStep 3 - FinalizingExtras

1. 
   
   1. Download hactool: https://github.com/SciresM/hactool/releases/
   2. Extract the following next to hactool.exe: https://gbatemp.net/attachments/decrypt-xci-v2-1-zip.131659
   3. Make sure your keys are in keys.ini filename and format and is next to hactool.exe aswell
2. 
   
   1. Put the .XCI you want to decrypt next to hactool.exe (Important)
   2. Drag the .XCI onto the Decrypt-XCI.bat
   3. Let it do its thing, it could take a while
   4. Once you see "DONE!" your done!
3. 
   The new folder xciDecrypted next to hactool.exe is now the romfs and exefs of the xci decrypted.
   romfs in xciDecrypted/romfs.bin and exefs in xciDecrypted/exefs
   The structure is 100% ready to copy and paste into sd:/atmosphere/titles/{titleid}/ for Backup Loading/LayeredFS Mods.
   (but you still need to rename the folder to the titleid and edit the main.npdm)
   To use this with Ryujinx, drag the xciDecrypted/exefs folder onto Ryujinx.exe (No idea about Yuzu).
   
4. 
   
   • If you want the Batch file to close once its done, remove the last line (pause >nul) and save.

Thanks to gdkchan for the original script, since the original script, I have HEAVILY modified it.

Still getting issues about an invalid NCA header. Also get an error message that it couldn't find a .npdm file.

I'm pretty sure I'm dumping the right keys, I'm getting the "Now you can do hactool" message

Updated to v2.1

• Heavilly improved the batch files process. It doesnt have to do as much now.
• the game.istorage file no longer goes into /exefs as its not needed for layeredfs and its the exact same file as romfs.bin
• no longer have to manually rename romfs.romfs to romfs.bin
• no longer have to delete a bunch of files
• small speedup

that msg always shows regardless of errors.
How many keys do you have?
Also is your keys file keys.dat or keys.ini

I just tried it out with the DKC tropical Freeze .xci but in the folder xciDecrypted I did not get the exefs folder with the .npmd. Just got a .cert, .tik and the romfs.bin. Did I did something wrong?

You dont have proper keys.

Ok thanks! I must have messed up on your other tutorial to get the keys. will try it again.

Works for me, you gotta be logged in. Click the attachment if it doesnt still.

Hey guys. Everything worked for me, but i only got the Masterkeys 0 and 4 so far. I also tried to decrypt it with the 1-click-decrypt tool, but it does not work, because "section 0" is corrupted. Any ideas?
also i only get the romfs.bin and not the exefs

greetings

What game is it just curious.
But when this happens, you need more keys. Newer titles cause this to happen, new games tend to do this. Older games dont.

Yeah, now it works. Can you tell me the title id of stern pinball arcade? Can't find it anywhere.

I tried it so far with Scribblenouts and Dragon Quest Builders. Both times this happened.

I also get this when decrypting Bayonetta

 

[JJTapia19]

If you are not getting the exefs you do need more keys. Google might help.

 

[PsyJED]

I was about to ask the same thing. How do you get the exefs files extracted?

 

[GoldenBullet]

How do I add them to the keys ini?

 

[TunaKetchup]

This works great

Really helped me out and made the entire process much easier

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

what the fuck, all i got after i decrypted a donkey kong xci was a romfs.bin and a .cert and .tik file

help?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

note: didnt say that section 0 was corrupted or anything

 

[JJTapia19]

How do I add them to the keys ini?

Open the keys.ini with a text editor I like notepad++ and add the new keys below the old ones and save.

When I drag Axiom Verge over Decrypt-XCI-v2.1 The only file I get is the romfs.bin
Is there something wrong to Axiom Verge? Like, I tried to do it to other games and I did get romfs.bin and exefs
