~~Currently I am working on some *ahem* things I would like to keep private until they are stable as I am currently unsure of how long it will take or even if they will eventually be stable.~~

~~Please stay tuned!~~

I am proud to reveal what this upcoming project is today.

~~News: I am working very hard on a new feature. For now I will *not* say exactly what it is BUT I hope to unveil it at the GBATemp Homebrew Bounty.~~

~~The new feature~~ is not ~~ready just yet~~ but ~~it is currently~~ a ~~working proof~~-of-~~concept~~. I will ~~give~~ a ~~hint~~ that this "new feature~~" ''~~will~~'' revolutionize~~ the ~~3DS's so~~-~~called "scene"~~.

It has come to my attention that there is no GBATemp Homebrew Bounty. At the time of writing the news above (~3 weeks ago) I was under the impression it would happen again.

Regardless by saying "at" I was implying "by". I will still release this next version, to be dubbed "CiTRUS Ultimate". Currently I do not have an estimate of when the release will be exactly, but I am hoping for sometime next week since I am getting positive results.

I know, due to the nature of how I am "unknown" to the scene, I may be considered a liar or fraud. To assure you that I am honest with my work I will enclose a download to a work-in-progress 3DS-mode Homebrew ("Hello World") CXI I developed using CiTRUS Ultimate.

I understand some of the misinformed users of gbatemp may think this is developer-only but in fact it can be retail signed, provided the right RSA keys. In my demo, I used a fake RSA key (a bundle of zeros). When using this program, I provide you an option to specify your own RSA keys for signing. No illegal keys will be provided. The CXI is a format used by both retail and developer 3DS's, not just developer!

Please note that this CXI has not been tested for loading but it has valid structure, a valid ExeFS (contains ARM11 code, banner, icon, and logo) and has been accepted in transformations to other formats. To the best of my knowledge this is very close to a proper CXI, if not a proper one already.

In the initial release of this new feature in CiTRUS I will only include very simple options, but if I see users are enjoying this program I will add more to it.

In case some of you wonder, this does not have a RomFS. I admit I have not delved into that yet.

Currently this has the capability to enable debug modes, sign[-], hash, and create CXI files out of an ELF/AXF to the best of my knowledge.

[-] = RSA key is required for retail/developer signatures.
