ok, but can i just format the sd card and then install all the necessary files again?

Yes, i made that clear in my previous posts.

or is that dangerous?

Nope.

i also have no idea if luma3ds is injected into the ctrnand so yeah

It's not that much of an issue, you could always update Luma3DS and it'll be installed on ctrnand automatically.

 

[godreborn]

Oh, I didn't know godmode could create a cia from a .3ds file.

@CoolMe @godreborn thanks for the help!
i have deleted a lot of files, i think i am just going to format the sd card but there's these really sketchy files (demon.sys,demon0.sys,swreset.sys) is that anything to worry about?

i have sucessfully formatted the sd card and installed luma. but, do i need to update boot9strap?

I think I got the wrong title ID so the cheats didn't work.
Rosalina menu said there are no cheats for title 0004000000164600

I searched like everywhere, but the codes I find are from another game ID and fort42 website can't be reached.
What now?? Do cheats even exist for 0004000000164600??

I'm totally lost now, Beeb trying to find it for ages now..

thanks again, i did not need to convert the files because i found cia files. and as for the sd card, i formatted it and installed everything again, and i also made a nand backup.

Have you looked at Super Pokemon Rumble? I feel like that one flew under a lot of peoples radar but it is basically Rumble World without the microtransactions.

I don't want to use a save editor

What difference does it make? You want diamonds? Edit your save and give yourself all the diamonds you want.

 

[godreborn]

yeah, sometimes you've gotta make due with what you're given. not sure why you don't want to use a save editor. it would likely be easier.

I'd assume that has "new" 3ds exclusive games (cart releases).

Depreciated or decrypted?
Digital as in eShop releases of ("new" 3ds) games.

(Non-"new") 3ds games (cartridge releases).

Self-explanatory.

eShop releases of (3ds) games.

Decrypted? eShop (3ds) games.

"Decrypted" cias are mainly used for Citra, if you're not planning on using it, just ignore..
====

How slow? Depends on the sd card' storage capacity, formatting and how many titles you have installed. Is it over 30 secs (or 1min)?

I should provide more context, I was looking at an archive of 3DS files and saw more groupings than I was familiar with, so I looked at No-Intro for reference and I didn't get much clarity there.

Archive:

No-Intro:

Files are present as a single .3ds file, except for two:

Example "New Nintendo 3DS (Digital) (Deprecated)" file

Example "Nintendo 3DS (Digital) (CDN)" file

well, both 3dsx and cia are derived from an elf file. that's about all I can tell you right now.

 

[Cragdore]

I updated my response a moment ago.

There was no .3dsx filetype, only .3ds
Could you explain what an elf file is?
Are any of these groupings interesting? I think I will ignore "New Nintendo 3DS (Digital) (Deprecated)" and "Nintendo 3DS (Digital) (CDN)" since i'm focused on .3ds files

 

[godreborn]

.3ds is used by a flash cart. an elf is actually a linux format, but it's used by most systems like nintendo and sony ones (not sure about microsoft). it's the decrypted version of encrypted files.

 

[zekro94]

Oh, I didn't know godmode could create a cia from a .3ds file.

yeah, it can do many things but converting .3ds to cia was possible even before, many years ago you needed to use xorpads on 3ds and decrypt the files and then use the pc in order to build the .cia file. It wasn't that much work but now that we have godmode everything is a lot easier (been using 3ds since the 4.5 unstable exploit and also when the 9.2 downgrader appeared using gateways menu even if you didn't have one)

There is no need for 3ds->cia conversion, anymore.
Recent releases of godmode9 can install 3ds files the same way as cia files. In fact, gm9 is more powerful and stable than fbi.

Cool, what are the steps to do this?

From https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9

Install titles to your system: Just press A on any file you want installed and select Install game image from the submenu. Works with NCCH / NCSD / CIA / DSiWare SRLs / 3DS CDN TMDs / DSi CDN TMDs / NUS TMDs.

Just copy your .3ds file to the sdcard, boot into gm9 and install it directly.

This has been possible since gm9 v2.0.0:

Killer Feature 2: Universal installer
The other killer feature in this release is the ability to install basically anything to your system. You can install CIA (obvious), NCSD (also called .3DS files), NCCH, DSiWare .NDS dumps, 3DS CDN/ NUS contents and DSi CDN contents. It's even possible to install a title directly from one of your gamecarts. For DSi CDN contents, the Nintendo DSi (Digital) (CDN) dat-file over on No-Intro may help you get your CDN files in order. You will also need to provide a decTitlekeys.bin file (with DSi titlekeys included) inside the 0:/GM9/support/ folder.

maybe godmode. it was updated a while back, but it was definitely not five+ years ago. 6th year anniversary iirc.

Any good reason to update it ?

 

[Lavender01]

Some of my games are not working (super smash bros does work so it's not because of extended memory mode), i tried almost everything (import seed, luma locale switcher, luma game patching, i even tried a different adapter) and some games still don't work, and i can't update games either. I did try pulling up the rosalina menu on the game that gives me a black screen and it works fine. The games themself still don't work though... I'm kind of scared tbh, i hope this can be fixed because if not i wasted my money and i can't buy another 3ds

You'd have to look at the change log on github.
