Converting a.3DS to.CIA For organizational purposes, copy each.3ds file you wish to convert to the /cias/ folder on your SD card Note that if you wish to convert a.3ds file that is already on a flashcart, you should follow Dumping a Game Cartridge. The.3ds file does not appear to be broken, since it can run on Citra. However, I downloaded a different.3ds rom (not a rom hack) and it is building the.cia just fine. My best guess is that I can't build the.cia because it is a hacked rom or because the rom is decrypted. I tried encrypting the rom with GodMode9 but nothing works with it.
This guide will show you how to dump your game cartridges directly to your SD card with GodMode9. This has multiple uses such as playing without the cartridge or playing your game on an emulator instead of the console.
