Forget about xorpad stuff. Dump the boot9.bin to save yourself the headache.

3dsconv is another option and is slightly more accurate producing CIAs with the correct region info.

Don't use xorpads, they're ancient and deprecated.

That reason is because nowadays they are completely useless.

Try just redumping the game as a cia, it sounds like your copy is corrupted

It's more likely that 3dsconv is printing an error, and adding a pause to the batch file would show it. But the better way would be to re-dump from the game card anyway.

If you follow the instructions I posted about the BAT (batch script) text file, you put the *.3ds roms in the 3ds roms folder. After double clicking the BAT, it'll spit out *.cia in the cia folder. 3dsconv also won't work unless you provide the boot9.bin.

You have to make it yourself with text editor like Notepad.

That idea I suggested to ThoD is to recreate 3dsconv like the setup found in the program, 3ds to cia converter.

Edit - Made a mistake. roms folder, not 3ds folder.

It just opened up and closed back out
EDIT: and yes i do have boot9.bin

Slight correction on that post. Put *.3ds files in the roms folder. **
Check the cia folder if they're in there.

Do you have the boot9.bin (Size: 64.0 KB - CRC32: E0989F6D) next to the 3dsconv.exe?

It was exactly like it was supposed to be in this thread
EDIT: Yes my boot9.bin is 64 kb and its right by my exe

Just triple checking to make sure the setup is good.

Does the *.3ds rom you have successfully convert to *.cia on your 3DS system in GodMode9? This is to rule out bad rom dump.

Edit - Nevermind. You stated in your first post that GodMode9 failed to convert that file. The problem is most likely it's a bad dump.
