CxiTool is a PC application that converts homebrew executables in *.3dsx format to cxi's, which are the building blocks of CIAs. Although the author, fincs, has made the source public, the app has not been publicized and was buried in a devkitpro repository.

This app can be useful in situations where a 3dsx author has not provided a CIA and has closed the source code, making it difficult to compile. It can also help to make older 3dsx homebrew more accessible to a new audience.
