Here's the update on my attempt getting Animal Crossing: New Leaf (KOR) to run on my n3DSXL with Luma3DS v10.0.1 and 11.13U 3DS firmware.
I used this 3DS rom converted to CIA in GodMode9.
, and this accompanying v1.5 update CIA that includes the amiibo+.
- Welcome Amiibo 1.5 KOR.cia [ CRC32: B5C23330 | Size: 202 MB ]
Here are the results.
The game does not require luma game patching,
locale.txt, or Korean shared font.

@bobo0921, your issue could be due to:
- fake or dying SD card
- corrupt CIA installation
- frankenfirmware due to incomplete CTRTransfer
Section I - Determine if the SD card is bad.
- Copy everything off your SD card to a computer.
- Quadruple reformat.
- Full Write + Verify the empty card with H2testw. Do not skip.
- If the card passes, delete the *.h2w test files.
- A reported error means the hardware failed card will need to be replaced. Go back to step 1.
- Copy everything back to the SD card.
If the H2testw results came back good, follow
Option (A) for
Section II.
However, if the program detected an issue with the SD card, do instead
Option (B).
Section II - Check if the installed SD title(s) have corrupt data.
Option (A) - The SD card was found to be free of hardware defects. These steps will take a look if the installed copy of AC:NL (KOR) and its v1.5 update are intact.
6a. Insert the SD card into the n3DSXL, turn on the system, and hold the (SELECT) button to access Luma3DS chainloader → GodMode9.
7a. Hold (R)-shoulder and press (A) on [A:] SYSNAND SD → Search for titles. A list of all your installed titles will appear.
8a. Press (A) on 0004000000086500 Animal Crossing New Leaf (CTR...(K).tmd → TMD file options... → Verify file.
9a. Repeat step 8a for the v1.5 update CIA: 0004000E00086500 Animal Crossing New Leaf (CTR...(K).tmd
If the results in 8
a and 9
a stated
Verification success, that means the game and/or update CIAs are good. Skip ahead to step 13 in
Section III.
If the results in 8
a and/or 9
a stated
Verification failed, continue with the below step 10
a.
10
a. Backup the AC:NL (KOR)'s save + extdata with
Checkpoint or
JKSM.
11
a. Reinstall fresh copies of the game and/or update CIA with
FBI.
- WARNING: Installing the game CIA (00040000) will overwrite and delete the save.
12a. Restore the save + extdata with save manager of choice from step 10a.
***
Option (B) - The SD card was found to be faulty. These steps will convert all titles in the
Nintendo 3DS folder back into CIAs. Those that fail to get dumped will need to replaced with fresh CIAs. This is to rebuild the 3DS library to be free of data corruption.
6
b. Download and add the
CTRTransfer (Type D9) gm9 script to the SD card at this directory:
- sdmc:/gm9/scripts/CTRTransfer (Type D9).gm9
7
b. Insert the SD card into the n3DSXL, turn on the system, and hold the (SELECT) button to access
Luma3DS chainloader →
GodMode9.
8
b. Press (START) →
Scripts... →
CTRTransfer (Type D9) →
Rebuild 3DS Database →
(B) Full →
(1b) Backup CIAs & Saves.
- Note #1: To prevent accidental misuse, a safety mechanism was built into this script's option. You must carefully read the ~ INSTRUCTIONS ~ and description found in the top screen. An outside action is required before (1b) actually runs.
- Note #2: If titles could not be converted back to CIAs, these can be assumed to be corrupt. You will need to provide replacement CIAs for these. Look for the log dump:
- sdmc:/gm9/out/cias (proper)_<ID0>/missing_titles.txt
9
b. As specified in the
~ INSTRUCTIONS ~, FBI reinstall the CIAs, go back to the script's for
(2b) Restore Saves, restore
missing tickets with
faketik, and
mass unwrap gift HOME Menu icons with
Cthulhu.
10
b–12
b. These steps do not exist.
Section III - Test the game.
13. Launch Animal Crossing: New Leaf (KOR) from HOME Menu.
If the game works, stop here.
If the game does
not work, continue to step 14 in
Section IV.
Section IV - Repair the 3DS firmware.
It is suspected the
region changing you performed earlier with standard CTRTransfer did not go as planned.
14. Repair the 3DS firmware with
CTRTransfer (Type D9) - CTRTransfer. Follow the
Instructions as laid out in that page.
- Note #3: You do not have to region change your n3DSXL back to KOR firmware if you do not want to. Try USA firmware again with:
- sdmc:/gm9/in/11.5.0-38U_ctrtransfer_n3ds.bin
- sdmc:/gm9/in/11.5.0-38U_ctrtransfer_n3ds.bin.sha
