I have an old3ds running Luma3ds and it really shouldn't be this hard to find something that works.
You all know the infamous 7-in-1 Mario bootleg, yeah? With good old GRAND DAD and all that? Well, I've recently downloaded it and wanted to play it on my 3ds. I realize I can simply use my computer if I wish, but that's not something one can use if they want to be mobile.
There are two major problems with it, however:
1) The bootleg is an NES game.
2) It's a bootleg.
Problem 1 arises with the fact that there are a maximum amount of (at least what I've encountered) three different NES emulators for the 3ds. Two of them don't work (3DNES didn't load and FCEMU gave me endless rainbow pixels) and the only one that seems to work (quickNES) won't load the game because of problem 2 (at least, that's what I assume-the only other people who had the same error as I did needed GBA bios).
So, obviously, there's only one other solution: rebuild the game into a .cia as a virtual console game. It worked for Vietnamese crystal and other various romhacks, so it should be no problem, yeah? Well, fun fact: there is, because I have not found a single comprehensible tutorial on how to turn NES games into the cia format. The closest I found was in this thread: (https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-general-vc-rom-injection-thread-nes-gb-c-a-etc.371894/) but its guide for the NES portion was very confusing and simply not something I can understand.
So, I ask, person reading this thread: what can I do? I would personally prefer a way to convert it to cia, but some sort of working emulator would be great too.
