Changes

: Please keep the focus on documentation of the spec., we don't want to explain things from the perspective of SDK users- but for someone that knows (potentially) nothing about the 3DS. The SDK does not tell the whole story of most file formats, and most people don't need to know what the SDK can do for them but what they can do without the SDK. - [[User:Jl12|Jl12]]

::: "Dev/Production CIA use the same specification. So I'm not sure what you mean by this. " I originally worded it that way on the page because both CIAs [[User:3dsguy|3dsguy]] uploaded had cleartext APP data, thus I wasn't sure if CTR-SDK had an option for encrypting the dev CIAs. I don't get why [[User:Elisherer|Elisherer]] re-implements about everything ctrtool already does either... --[[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] 05:26, 12 November 2011 (CET)

::: - Depending on which one it was, the link that was removed at first, was a old presentation from e3. It's just out dated enough that the cia format probably hadn't been finalized. Anything before firmwares 0.10.0 - 0.11.0 neither use LZ compression nor encrypt (!) but - except the use of keys, the SDK now produces .cia with close to retail specs. [[User:Jl12|Jl12]]

::::If you like working with the windows command line be my guest. I got more progress looking at the files with 3dsexplorer... (And i'm not re-inventing 3dsexplorer didn't support cia so I added it, I will continue fixing the structure to be as accurate it can be)  --[[User:Elisherer|Elisherer]] 09:48, 12 November 2011 (CET)

::::: - I was thinking more the wiki and the "documentation" of the structures then 3dsexplorer tool. (I thought this was based on binaries, though) [[User:Jl12|Jl12]]

::::::Sorry guys, this discussion doesn't really has anything to do with the CIA format. Please choose another page for this or stop it now. @ [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]]: I think it's not important to create a new page for it too, only some links to the TMD format and wiibrew wiki are necessary.--[[User:Lazymarek9614|Lazymarek9614]] 20:44, 13 November 2011 (CET)

:::::::Other than that TMD code, that CXI/CIA code looks nothing like the ctrtool code to me - but whatever. --[[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] 22:07, 13 November 2011 (CET)
