Community:Gates to Infinity DLC Editing Tutorial

DLC Editing Tutorial for Template:GameTitle. This can be useful for making a .cia file that doesn't include unused downloadable content (or that only includes such content), or for creating custom DLCs such as custom music or dungeons.

Note that the terminal commands used on this page were used on Linux. On other operating systems, such as Windows, minor adjustments may be required.

Requirements

• Basic knowledge of command line tools
• A .cia file of the original DLC (named gti_dlc.cia in this tutorial)
• CTRTool (https://github.com/3DSGuy/Project_CTR/releases/tag/ctrtool-v1.2.0)
• MakeROM (https://github.com/3DSGuy/Project_CTR/releases/tag/makerom-v0.18.4)

Extracting the DLC

Run the following command to extract the Contents from the .cia to the current folder.

./ctrtool --contents=contents gti_dlc.cia

You can put the files in their own folder for convenience. The rest of this tutorial assumes the contents files are in a folder named "contents".

Rebuilding the DLC

Before continuing, you need to create a text file with the name "gtidlc_rom.rsf" and that contains the following text:

Option:
  MediaFootPadding: true
  EnableCrypt: false
SystemControlInfo:
  SaveDataSize: $(SaveSize)K

Choose which Contents files you want to include in your DLC .cia file. Note that "contents.0000.345057da" must be included. Names of the Contents files consist of four numbers/letters (the first part), followed by a dot, followed by a longer sequence of numbers and letters (the second part). When mentioning them in the MakeROM command, you need to add at the end of the filename ":0x", followed by the first part, followed by ":0x", followed by the second part. For example, "contents/contents.0000.345057da" becomes "contents/contents.0000.345057da:0x0000:0x345057da".

These are examples of what the command might look like. You can modify the examples, or use the examples as they are if you are satisfied with what they do.

Example 1: Official DLC Only

This command makes a DLC .cia file that only contains DLC that was officially distributed.

./makerom -f cia -rsf gtidlc_rom.rsf -o gti_dlc_eu_out.cia -ckeyid 0 -major 0 -minor 1 -micro 0 -DSaveSize=0 -ignoresign -dlc -i contents/contents.0000.345057da:0x0000:0x345057da -i contents/contents.0001.01b526b0:0x0001:0x01b526b0 -i contents/contents.0002.36813de7:0x0002:0x36813de7 -i contents/contents.0003.66574657:0x0003:0x66574657 -i contents/contents.0004.3983227e:0x0004:0x3983227e -i contents/contents.0005.6e4b7235:0x0005:0x6e4b7235 -i contents/contents.0006.45e96935:0x0006:0x45e96935 -i contents/contents.0007.425536a5:0x0007:0x425536a5 -i contents/contents.0008.033b6e4d:0x0008:0x033b6e4d -i contents/contents.0009.43d9281f:0x0009:0x43d9281f -i contents/contents.000a.489a712c:0x000a:0x489a712c -i contents/contents.000b.429f4150:0x000b:0x429f4150 -i contents/contents.000c.20a2030d:0x000c:0x20a2030d -i contents/contents.0033.61e81808:0x0033:0x61e81808 -i contents/contents.0034.1f1b4be1:0x0034:0x1f1b4be1 -i contents/contents.0035.121c7a2e:0x0035:0x121c7a2e -i contents/contents.0036.7d74188e:0x0036:0x7d74188e -i contents/contents.0037.6cdf7d3d:0x0037:0x6cdf7d3d -i contents/contents.0038.45f521b4:0x0038:0x45f521b4 -i contents/contents.0039.17336725:0x0039:0x17336725 -i contents/contents.003a.604a53de:0x003a:0x604a53de -i contents/contents.003b.25db38e8:0x003b:0x25db38e8 -i contents/contents.003c.7402694d:0x003c:0x7402694d -i contents/contents.003d.4e6538f3:0x003d:0x4e6538f3 -i contents/contents.003e.41a866ed:0x003e:0x41a866ed -i contents/contents.0065.6e4d00c7:0x0065:0x6e4d00c7

Example 2: Only Unused DLC Music

This command makes a DLC .cia file that only contains the unused DLC music tracks (Craggy Coast, Star Cave, and both versions of Vast Ice Mountain Peak).

./makerom -f cia -rsf gtidlc_rom.rsf -o gti_eu_unused_music_only.cia -ckeyid 0 -major 0 -minor 1 -micro 0 -DSaveSize=0 -ignoresign -dlc -i contents/contents.0000.345057da:0x0000:0x345057da -i contents/contents.003f.296877ae:0x003f:0x296877ae -i contents/contents.004c.42b26fec:0x004c:0x42b26fec -i contents/contents.0062.04434456:0x0062:0x04434456

Modifying the DLC

Before rebuilding, you may want to make changes to the files.
