If you have to ask, you'll never be able to do it. Hell we don't even know if the dumps we do have are legit or dumped properly since we have no way to test.

TL;DR We don't know, and there's no point.

What if the secret to playing ROM backups was something super obvious that everyone overlooked?

It requires a special hardware which power the cartridge, and scan all of the ROM (Read Only Memory chipset) content.
They didn't release the plan to create this hardware to the public (they only gave it to other release teams).

Here you can see few tools (to make the dumper) created and used by Legacy, the first team which released a 3DS ROM

Honestly now if they built all this and went through all the work you'd think they would get a gamefly pass for 15USD a month and dump every game.

This got EoF'd eh?
I take back my old answer.

You can dump 3ds roms in just 6 simple steps
  • Draw a ritual circle
  • Place 3ds game and microsd card in ritual circle
  • Obtain a lamb or other animal for sacrifice
  • Purge the sacrifice of its blood
  • Poor the blood into the circle
  • Wait for the powers that be to transfer the 3ds rom to your microsd card
Warning Your 3ds game will be destroyed in the process

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Never heard of it. Any good?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.

    @RedColoredStars, I'm a cat person so this game must be for me. :D
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @RedColoredStars, sounds kinda neat
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot the fly down.
