Hacking Is it possible to download games on your sd card and play them ?

tw_fan · May 27, 2019

Since no one replied to this question on my previous post I'm forced to make a new, seperate post about this topic. I'd just like to know if it's possible to download 3DS games and transfer them to the sd card of my 3DS ?

Thanks in advance

If you install a custom firmware such as Luma you can download games as .cia files and install them on the 3DS using a homebrew app called FBI.
This is the best guide for hacking the 3DS to install Luma https://3ds.hacks.guide/ .

As for games you'll have to find them yourself.

Sorry but I'm against homebrew. Is it possible to download 3DS roms on my Laptop and transfer them to the sd card of my 3DS and just play them ?

No, it's the CFW that makes it possible. I just saw your other thread. You don't want to use either of the 3DS rom compatible flash carts(which are bad choices these days anyway) or CFW so you are basically out of luck. The only way to play 3DS games with the conditions you state is to buy them.

The problem is I lost the game I'd like to play so I don't to buy it a second time. I'm just scared of breaking my 3DS and getting banned from playing online

One thread on this topic will suffice. Forward all further questions to your previous thread.

And to answer your question, no you cannot simply copy ROMs etc into the SD/microSD.
