:This is the problem many people seem to have with the test units. From what I can tell, the only way to actually run some unsigned application (not created by Nintendo) is by programming it on a development flashcard. --[[User:Neimod|Neimod]] 01:11, 2 November 2011 (CET)

:I'm not sure why you deleted your previous post, but I agree that there are '''supposed''' to be different kinds of media (development flashcard, and copying from SD card to internal NAND) that allow running applications on a test unit. However, of these methods, only so far the development flashcard has proven to work with '''unsigned''' code. The problem lies in the fact that the unsigned development CXI image uses a dummy RSA private key to create the RSA signature, while official Nintendo development CXI images use the real deal. So as it stands, no developer can create proper CXI images for CIA importing. --[[User:Neimod|Neimod]] 14:11, 2 November 2011 (CET)

I had a look at your previous post, 3dsguy, where you have posted a download link for a CIA file. We don't know much about CIA files so it was interesting to see a file and look into it. The actual data for the app/tmd/cmd files seems to be encrypted (expected that) there's only some plain text like "Root"", "CA00000004" and "Root-CA00000004" to name a few (...) which obviously are pathes on the NAND FS. However, I've found out that the name of the files/directories (eg name of the app file:"ad7e6744") which are saved on the SD card after installing the archieve seem to be in the CIA file: Not as plain text, they're actually hex values.
I'm not really sure about that. It would be nice if you could post another CIA file, 3dsguy, that we can compare them and find out more about it. Shall we actually create a new page about CIA files?--[[User:Lazymarek9614|Lazymarek9614]] 21:48, 2 November 2011 (CET)
