If you're on the latest version then I don't see how you can use this. Unless of course you mean an A9LH system on the latest in which case you could.
I'm using a 3DS and I'm running it as homebrew run from Ninjhax. Every time I open it it just reloads the homebrew menu.

You can't run Cia from hbl. You need custom firmware to install a cia. Also you need 9.2 to use decrypt 9. So you need to downgrade to dump your cart. You can't on the latest firmware

@shutterbug2000 Wood dumper iirc was supposed to be used with ds games with dsi data, the old tools didn't dump the dsi partition or something like that..

In the video it says it can't dump dsi games, I just tried to dump the 5th gen of pokemon games and it fails..

I had also tried to use hourglass and decrypt9 both dump the room but throw a message "invalid secure data" not sure what this means..

Wooddumper can dump DSi carts. however this currently requires a DS Lite or a third party hardware swapper type device as wooddumper has to do a second card init and that still requires that you eject the cart and reinsert it which you can't do on a 3DS in NTR/TWL mode without custom code. Since Wooddumper isn't open source (at least the newer versions that support DSi carts), we can't modify it to power cycle the slot as it's now possible to do that with homebrew with the right DSi Extended Header settings. Wooddumper was made long before this became possible however and assumes that you are using it on old DS hardware.

If it was open source we could have modified it to power cycle/re-init the card slot when doing the DSi specific card init process.
 
Any idea on an update here, or just some information/guidance?

I've tried dumping Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, and all was successful.
I tried Lunar Genesis too, and that works. I'll try some other DS carts later.

However, as does seem to be the thing, Pokemon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 do not work because of the "re-insert"/DSi-init issue.

I'm currently running 11.0.2.35, Luma is on 1.4.2. I am using a New 3DS.

People have said to use Decrypt9, but there aren't any clear instructions on how to install and use, but warnings saying it only works on firmware 9.2.
There is also mention of running it in Luma, yet Luma just updates.

Hum, you're wrong, Decrypt9WIP can be ran without 9.2, just grab the .bin file and run it through Luma3DS' payload chainloader, for example.
 
The wifi version of WoodDumper seems able to. However that feature seems to not be in the slot2 build of WoodDumper. :(
How possible do you think it would be to add save dumping? I need to dump my WarioWare D.I.Y save really bad and I hear that the wifi version of WoodDumper is able to do so.
 
So with this we can play dumped ds games through sd memory?
No, this is just a dumper, the only programm that enables this is TWLoader using nds-bootstrap.
The developer of the nds-bootstrap seems to be too busy at the moment so most games don't work yet, but the launcher already looks great so there's that.
