Hacking Converting .NDS to .CIA

TheIronFire · Sep 30, 2016

Hi everyone

I was having a question that (possibly) might not have an easy answer. Basically to cut a long story short, I have a few pokemon roms (all of gen 4 and 5) that I'm wanting to convert from a .NDS file to a cia for installation on CFW. However one or 2 of the things I have tried to date give me a glitch cia (either that or I don't know how to use the command line tools), and I was wondering what other utilities exist for this kind of project.

I have been using the tools found here:

https://github.com/ahezard/nds-hb-menu/releases

Is there any other ones out there?

Cheers

You can't convert .nds to .cia. Otherwise, I'd have my home menu filled with DS games and DS flashcarts wouldn't need to be a thing anymore.

He's not talking about demos or Homebrew. He means ACTUAL games, such as Pokemon. :/

No one can do this yet, maybe you can TheIronFire

The best you can get is forwarder cia's. They're on your home menu but load from the inserted flashcard :/

I bought an R4i 3DS Gold + 8GB card ~3 years ago for less than $30. Can probably do it a lot cheaper, now.

You can buy a dstt + a 16 GB microsd(more than enough) for around 15$

It's being worked on, so be patient

It can't be done, but you can get a DS flashcart for under $20
