Convert 3ds To Cia Godmode

by

3DS Hacks - Convert 3DS ROMs to.cia Nintendo 3DS games can often be found in the.3ds format, which is intended for emulators like Citra. Nintendo 3DS consoles cannot load.3ds ROM files, however they can be converted to.cia format which can be installed on hacked 3DS consoles with FBI. GodMode9 by dok3 is a powerful file manager for 3DS that comes with a myriad of useful features from system backup/restore, dumping cartridges and converting 3DS game files between different formats. This guide will show you how to backup and restore your 3DS system, this is highly recommended and one of the first things you should do after. To follow this tutorial you must have a modded console which runs on custom firmware.You must also have FBI and GodMode9 installed. Related guide:Install.

Cia

Required Reading

GodMode9 is a full access file browser for the Nintendo 3DS console, giving you access to your SD card, the FAT partitions inside your SysNAND and EmuNAND, and basically anything else. Among other functionality, you can copy, delete, rename files, and create folders.

Note que se você tem outros arquivos de payload diferentes do GodMode9.firm na pasta /luma/payloads/ do seu cartão SD, segure (Start) durante a inicialização para exibir um “menu de chainloader” onde você terá que utilizar os botões direcionais e o botão (A) para selecionar “GodMode9” para estas instruções.

GodMode9 is powerful software that has the capability to modify essentially anything on your console. Though many of these modifications are locked behind a permissions system, and it is impossible to accidentally perform dangerous actions without deliberately unlocking permissions, you should still follow instructions carefully and keep backups just in case.

Convert 3ds To Cia Godmode9

Required Reading

This is add-on section for region changing your CFW SysNAND. This is done by installing the 11.5.0 CTRTransfer image for the region you want to switch to.

Note that region changing is almost completely unnecessary since Luma3DS supports out-of-region games and individual title Locale Emulation. Additionally, running NDS games with alternative out-of-region languages is supported by TWiLightMenu++.

To use the magnet links on this page, you will need a torrent client like Deluge.

Note that if you have any payload files other than GodMode9.firm in the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card, holding (Start) on boot will display a “chainloader menu” where you will have to use the D-Pad and the (A) button to select “GodMode9” for these instructions.

This process will unlink your NNID from the system, since it will no longer be compatible with it. NNID’s are locked to the region of your device that created them and cannot be transferred between regions without a very complex and advanced process.

After this process, you will not be able to access the eShop. This includes any feature that uses an NNID, such as game updates, purchasing DLC, or online play in certain games. Region changing to your original region will usually not fix this issue.

Note that occasionally the eShop will inexplicably still not work for devices that it should work for. This is entirely to do with Nintendo’s servers, and I really do not have any control over it. Additionally, note that occasionally the eShop will inexplicably work for devices that it should not (such as some New 3DSs). The cause for this is currently unknown.

3ds

Region changing using CTRTransfer (which this method uses) seems to cause reboot patches to break. The cause for this is unknown, but Old 3DS users, for now, will be unable to play extended memory mode games (such as Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, and Pokémon Sun / Moon) until they format their devices.

You MUST have already installed Luma3DS and boot9strap to use this.

What You Need

  • The v1.9.2pre1 release of GodMode9
  • The latest release of FBI(the.3dsx file)
  • The 11.5.0 CTRTransfer image for your device and the region that you want to change to:
    • - New 3DS or 2DS - 11.5.0 - EUR - CTRTransfer
    • - New 3DS or 2DS - 11.5.0 - JPN - CTRTransfer
    • - New 3DS or 2DS - 11.5.0 - KOR - CTRTransfer
    • - New 3DS or 2DS - 11.5.0 - USA - CTRTransfer~
    • - Old 3DS or 2DS - 11.5.0 - EUR - CTRTransfer
    • - Old 3DS or 2DS - 11.5.0 - JPN - CTRTransfer
    • - Old 3DS or 2DS - 11.5.0 - USA - CTRTransfer
