Hi,
This tutorial will help you to play legit cias (and only legit cias) without a 3ds flashcart.


I With PBT-CFW (Sysnand):

1. Start the cfw and install the legit(s) cia(s).
2. Backup your sd content.
3. Get the gateway launcher.dat, put it on your sd card, go to the gateway menu and select "format emunand"
4. Update the created emunand, for that you can use :
- rxTools (compatible with go gateway app)
- or the mt-card launcher.dat : https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-4-5-sysnand-4-5-cfw-9-4-emunand-without-gateway.378721/ (part1, you don't need to do the steps 3 and 5 again). It works with the DS Exploit, but it's buggy on 9.5 (doesn't work anymore since the 9.6 update).
5. Restore your sd-card contents.
6. Start the updated emunand with rxTools, and enjoy.

If you want to add new legit cias after that :
1. Install them on your sysnand
2 . Backup your sysnand's ticket.db with rxTools then inject it in the emunand.

II With Palantine CFW (RedNAND):

1. Download this pack : http://jheberg.net/captcha/3ds-dualnand-v05-3/
2. Start the cfw and install the legit(s) cia(s).
3. Backup your sd content.
4. Go to the 3ds-dualnand_v0.5 folder and run 'Extract emuNAND 1.bat' as admin.
5. Then run 'Inject emuNAND 1.bat' as admin.
6. Finally run 'Inject RedNAND 2.bat' as admin. Be careful, this will format your sd card without your confirmation.
7. Restore your sd-card contents and replace your current boot.bin with the one in the 3ds-dualnand_v0.5.
8. You have now two emunands on your sd card : a normal emunand you can use with rxTools and the cfw redNAND. Use rxTools to update the first one.
9. Start the updated emunand with rxTools, and enjoy.


If you want to add new legit cias after that :

1. Install them with the cfw
2. Connect your SD Card to your PC
3. Go to the 3ds-dualnand_v0.5 folder and run 'Extract emuNAND 2.bat' as admin.
3. Run 'Inject emuNAND 1.bat' as admin.
4. Re-update your emunand with rxTools

Or

1. Install them with the cfw
2. Connect your SD Card to your PC
3. Backup your rxTools emunand with emunand tool
3. Go to the 3ds-dualnand_v0.5 folder and run 'Extract emuNAND 2.bat' as admin.
3. Run 'Inject emuNAND 1.bat' as admin.
4. Dump your emunand's (which is the cfw rednand at this point) ticket.db with rxTools.
5. Restore your rxTools emunand with emunand Tool
6. Inject the ticket.db to your emunand with rxTools.

Hi,
This tutorial will help you to play legit cias (and only legit cias) without a 3ds flashcart. (only ssb/pokemon AS eu are available for now, tested with it and it works fine)


Before beggining :
You need for that to have the cfw installed on your sysnand with this mod. If it's not the case, do it on another sdcard if you don't wan't to lose the cias installed on your current sd-card.


1. Start the cfw and install the legit(s) cia(s) you want.
2. Exit the cfw and check if the cia installed start. (it will hang on the 3ds logo after that, but it's normal). If it doesn't start, it means either your cia wasn't legit or it was not installed on your sysnand.
3. Backup your sd contents
4. Grab the gateway launcher.dat, put it on your sd card, go to the ggateway menu and select "format emunand"
5. Update the created emunand, for that you can use :
- rxTools
- or the mt-card launcher.dat : https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-4-5-sysnand-4-5-cfw-9-4-emunand-without-gateway.378721/ (part1, you don't need to do the steps 3 and 5 again). It works with the DS Exploit, but it's buggy on 9.5
6. Restore your sd-card contents
7. Start the updated emunand, and enjoy


Sorry for my english, it's not my native launguage, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

i desperately need help? on what im doing wrong. ok installed legit game to sysnand using pbt then. backup sd card contents, after that created my emunand using gateway launcher then rxtools then update while on emunand. after successfull update, tried to scan qr code again but to boot rx mode but only get a black screen and nothing happens? used MTcard emunand and same result. dont know to do on this. i really want to play the legit cia. hope someone can help me.

 

[VerseHell]

Yeah you're just one day too late. 9.6 is out, and it's block the emunand.

ohh ok. so even if i have backup MT card emunand at 9.5 will it work there??

 

[VerseHell]

Like that, no, but maybe with this :
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-moving-eshop-content-from-emunand-to-sysnand.379879/
If you have a retail 8.1+ cartdrige, you can also update your emunand with it.

Thank's a lot! i have mh4u cart i can use that right to downgrade my emunand to 8.1?

 

[VerseHell]

Yeah just :
- Backup your sd card content
- format your emunand again
- put your sysnand in another language (just a security measure)
- Go to the gateway menu, and old up while selecting classic mode
- verify that your console is in english again. If not, don't continue.
- insert the cartdrige, launch it, and accept the update.
- Restore your sd card content, put back your sysnand in english, and replace the gateway launcher.dat with the mt-card launcher.dat.

rxTools v.2.2.1 (v2.2.2 "Fixed the bug that blocked the boot of SSB and MH4") supports 9.6.0-24 emunand and we can use it.

 

[VerseHell]

Wow, even before Gateway ! Thanks for the information.

 

[finkmac]

So, let's say I went through with this… If I wanted to install another CIA, what would I do?
Start over from the beginning?

 

[VerseHell]

Install the cia on your sysnand, backup your nand, inject your nand into your emunand with emunand tool, then re-update the emunand.

 

[ender360]

somebody point me in the right direction?

the 'sources' right now are from eu only. links on how to change region would be nice...

after successful region change either (sys or emu) change following this guide would be the next step.


is my thought process valid?

 

[chil69]

thanks alot Versehell for the guide worked for me 100% hassle free (just the moving part took pretty long) but everything else is flawless thanks man!

 

[VerseHell]

Added a way for the Palantine CFW's users

 

[caytung07]

Thanks bro, I'll try P cfw tonight

After many hours of setting up, Clean Pokemon X finally work under RX EmuNand 9.6 with Palantine CFW.
It was so hard to update Emunand to 9.6, failed many times, I don't know why!
Once you've got 9.6 RX EmuNand, It does boot very well compare to Palantine cfw boot problem. Both play roms well.

And I wonder how to switch between RX EmuNand and CFW the easy way. Right now I have to insert R4 card and reinstall rxinstaller.nds for RX EmuNand and reinstall GW_INSTALLER.NDS for CFW, everytimes!!!

 

[Tsuku]

Hey, I want install legit cias, I installed them on 4.5 PBT CFW, but games doesn't appear on 9.6 emunand. When I go to software management, then I can see that games in gray colour. Any ideas what I do wrong?

Sorry for bad english, I wish You understand

 

[pdensco]

if this tutorial plays 7.x encrypted roms.. why not just play all your games on RX EMUNAND?
Install all your CIA on CFW then play and access them on RX EMUNAND

 

[VerseHell]

Did you read at least the first sentence? It works only with legit cias, and you can't use non-legits cias with rxTools.

ohh sorry.. I still dont understand the difference of legit .cia from non-legit cia.. for my point of view. legit one are one you own and dumped.. while non-legit are pirated stuff. nyways thanks for the clarification
