Convert 3ds To Cia Godmode9 Failed

Intro Video + Beaver Logo By - Top Patreon Supporter - Foreign Noi$e to Use Godmode9 to Dump your 3DS Cartridges to CIA's - that y.

For support in English, ask for help at Nintendo Homebrew on Discord.

Navigate into '0: SDCARD' and locate the.3ds file you want to convert. Press A, enter 'NCSD image options.' And 'Build CIA from file'. Once it is done, you should have a working cia located under /gm9out. 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

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.

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.

Old 3DSs and 2DSs may need to format (using TinyFormat or the System Settings) to play extended memory mode games (such as Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, or Pokemon Sun/Moon).

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

Note that, on some versions of Luma3DS, the Luma3DS chainloader menu is only displayed if there is more than one payload detected. If there is only one payload detected, holding (Start) on boot will directly launch GodMode9.

This is powerful stuff, it provides you with the means to do basically any thinkable modification to any system data available on the 3DS console. However, precautions are taken so you don’t accidentally damage the data of your console.
The write permissions system protects you by providing warnings and forces you to enter an unlock sequence for enabling write permissions. It is not possible to overwrite or modify any important stuff without such unlock sequences and it is not possible to accidentally unlock something. As always, be smart, keep backups, just to be safe.
