I have a rom of Xenoblade Chronicles in the 3ds file format. Want to convert it to cia with godmode9. But it's to big for the fat32 formatted SD card. Am I right that I can send it to the 3ds console by using boop on pc? Then convert it to cia via godmode9? Or do I have to use other tools? Note that if you wish to convert a.3ds file that is already on a flashcart, you should follow Dumping a Game Cartridge; Launch GodMode9 by holding (Start) during boot; Navigate to 0: SDCARD- cias; Press (A) on your.3ds file to select it, then select “NCSD image options”, then select “Build CIA from file”. Here is a simple step by step guide to converting.3ds files to.cia files using GodMode9 (1) Place your.3ds files in a folder on your SD card (2) Boot GodMode9 (3) Navigate to the folder in which you previously placed your.3ds files into (4) Select a.3ds file of your choice (5) Once selected the bottom screen should now display a list of. Well, today I have tried to install a.3ds file, the Inazuma Eleven Go Galaxy Supernova in english, a translation made by fans, the thing is, when i click to transform it to.cia, it says failed, when I try to encrypt or decrypt, the same, failed. I have a lot of space still, last version of godmode9, no aeskeydb.cin files in 0:/gm9/support.

Required Reading

If you are unable to boot your device, please look for the section relevant to you and follow the instructions.

If you still cannot solve your issue and need to reach out for help, please paste the contents of all relevant .log files from the root of your SD card into a Gist, then come for help prepared with a detailed description of your problem and what you’ve tried.

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.

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

Cannot inject H&S on Gateway downgraded device

This is caused by Gateway implementing a very shoddy downgrade method which leaves two versions of each app on the system. One of them is unused, but it confuses the H&S inject system, causing it to inject into the wrong one.

  1. Launch GodMode9 by holding (Start) during boot
  2. Navigate to [1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND -> title -> 00040010
  3. Navigate to the folder for your device and region:

    • Old 3DS or Old 2DS USA: 00021300 -> content
    • New 3DS or New 2DS EUR: 20022300 -> content
    • New 3DS or New 2DS JPN: 20020300 -> content
    • New 3DS or New 2DS USA: 20021300 -> content
  4. Notice that there are two sets of app and tmd files, one set with uppercase extensions (.TMD and .APP), and one set with lowercase extensions (.tmd and .app)
  5. While holding the (R) trigger, press (Y) to create a new directory
  6. Press (A) to confirm the name newdir (it does not matter what the folder is called)
  7. Press (A) to unlock SysNAND (lvl1) writing, then input the key combo given
  8. Press (B) to decline relocking write permissions if prompted
  9. Press the (L) trigger on each of the uppercase extension files (.TMD and .APP) to mark them
  10. Press (Y) to copy the files
  11. Navigate to newdir
  12. Press (Y) to paste the files
  13. Select “Move path(s)”
  14. The uppercase extension files will have been moved to the newdir directory
  15. Press (Start) to reboot your device
  16. Retry the H&S injection
  17. If this still doesn’t work, move the uppercase extension files back to the content folder, then move the lowercase extension files to the newdir folder, then retry the H&S injection

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.

Godmode9 3ds Guide

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.

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
