A cross platform injector for 3DS video CIAs. Currently known support is Linux, MacOS, and Windows. As of version 3.5.0, it consists of two programs. VidInjector9002-CLI does the functional work and VidInjector9002.5 works as the GUI frontend. Although the CLI can be used alone, the GUI depends of the CLI to work properly.

Features

• Create video injects - Input .moflex videos, images, and text, and the program will build a .cia file for you.
• Create multi-video injects - Similar to the above, but there can be multiple videos in one .cia file.
• Unpack a video CIA - Load parameters from a .cia file to edit and rebuild.
• Save and load parameters - Save your place and come back later.
• Configure the GUI interface for any language - If you can translate it, you can add it.

User guide

Translation files:

• To use the provided translations, extract the Vidinjector9000Resources directory from the zip you want to the directory with the binary.

Tips:

• Click the icon preview to change border modes.
• Open a project file (.vi9p) with the program to load in those parameters.
• Click the multi video banner preview to choose file.
• If an image doesn't fit in, it will be resized and cropped.
