Required Downloads:
Click 'Convert to CIA'. It will list all the CIA files in the rar archive. IF your archive is password protected, enter it at the prompt and then click 'Set Password'. Click the green 'Save' button to save individual cia file to your local drive. It is used by Nintendo 3DS handheld devices. 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. This guide will show you how to convert your.3ds ROMs to.cia files using GodMode9. Simple 3DS to CIA converter for Linux (x8664) and Windows. Just put your unpacked (.3ds) roms in roms directory and launch the script./makecia.sh or, under Windows. Makecia.cmd The script will tell you what you need to do. The resulting CIAs will be found in cia directory. Linux (x8664) with python2. 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.
