I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong section again.

Basically I have installed sonic lost world (USA-region free) .cia using bbm on my old 3Ds xl. When I select the game icon, I see the image and hear the music, once I try to launch it, the screen just goes black after the nintendo logo and remains that way till I press home button.

I searched and couldn't find anyone having a similar issue with sonic lost world, any idea what's causing this ?

I'm using Emunand with RX-E 10.3.0-28E

Sonic Lost World uses a single CPK file which stores all the data and its data offsets. It could be a bad rip, it could be a tampered CPK (because unpacking and rebuilding the CPK makes it not work).

Would converting it from ISO to CIA do this?

I tried different rip from a different region. No luck. These files seem to work for other people in the past. Can't help but think it's a 10.3 thing.

Okay, so I've cracked it now!!

What you need to do is download sonic lost world as a .3DS file, not a .CIA file.
Then you need to generate an "ncchinfo.bin" file from SLW (using 3DS simple CIA converter) to generate XORPADs in RxTools.

After you've generated the said XORPADs, you will need to put them into the "xorpads" folder of the 3DS simple CIA converter folder.

Now run the 3DS to CIA conversion. You should get the Sonic lost world CIA file which should now work.

That's how Sonic Lost World worked for me, anyways...

Thanks, I'm gonna try that next time.

This is not a piracy discussion thread, so please stay in topic.

This is what I did in the first place. unsuccessful. Maybe it's because I'm doing a network transfer...

EUR originally. Got a USA CIA after from another source. Just to be clear, your emunand is on 10.3 right?
yes. but don't forget I'm using a EUR 3DS and you are most likely using a USA 3DS, so...
