Originally created by @graphixillusion on GitHub (Dec 15, 2025).

Originally assigned to: @mnadareski on GitHub.

Ndecrypt /path/to/someFile.3ds gives the error in the title.

Scenario:

CWD
|
|-ndecrypt
|-config.json
|-3ds file

Tried both on Linux and Windows. In this case config.json is next to the executables but the error occurs with config inside ~/.config/ndecrypt - %userprofile%.config\ndecrypt too

Summary:

ndecrypt e/d title.3ds ==> doesn't work

ndecrypt e/d title.3ds -c path/to/config.json ==> works

Working theory is that I accidentally removed default filename handling in the move over to the commandline library.

My hunch appears to have been correct. The location where the config is being read from does not provide the default config.json path value, instead only relying on the passed in parameters.
