hey, i wanted to play 3ds games on my switch, i have retroarch but everytime i try to put the ultramoon rom on my sd card it says that the file is too large for the destination file system... i know its because u cant put files on a fat 32 sd card bigger than 4gb but how would i put in on the sd card then? thanks in advance <3

Interesting…according to this thread https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/997614-nintendo-3ds/76654492 this game is one of the largest game in the 3ds catalog, but it’s supposed to be only 3.6G which shouldn’t be a problem. How large is the file you have?

e: even Ninty says it’s only 3.5G https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-ultra-moon-3ds/

its exactly 4gb.

Problem nr. 2:
ive tried another game ( pokemon mystery dungeon gates to infinity) which is smaller. I got it on the sd but retroarch wont run it. When i scanned the directory it found the game but didnt make a 3ds folder for it... it says "the game you are trying to load must be decrypted before using it with Citra" but it is already decrypted

I can’t link here but I’ve found several that are smaller than 4G.
Not sure on the state of the decrypted file.

Perhaps you can try another site for ROMs?

The_E_Word · Aug 7, 2022

already tried that, from multiple different sites, but everytime i download it it ends up being exactly 4gb for the decrypted file

hey I also got a problem after trying to update my switch to the latest firmware + atmo.
I used the AIO updater for atmo and it worked, after that I used it for the normal firmware and it rebooted back to heka, there I chose the third option "payload" and used "fuse", after that the console did not boot anymore. I tried to restart etc. but no luck. Any ideas?

Edit: after putting it into the docking station and try to boot it again, I get a new error "[NXBOOT] unable to identify package1!

Something got borked. Going to have to walk through it manually. This should fix you right up.

Uh...why wouldn't it be? How else would anyone download games from the eShop?

Thanks for clarification. I mainly use sysNAND rather than stock.

thank you that worked, but I think my other sd card is broken. I had to use a new one with this tutorial.

Format the old card with rufus (fat32 w/ 32k block size) to be sure: https://rufus.ie/en/

You can also test your card's integrity with h2test2: https://3ds.hacks.guide/h2testw-(windows).html

Hey all, I currently have V1 console and about to install the modchip on my OLED, once installed, what is the process to install atmosphere and cfw, I cannot find a guide at all on how to do this. Thanks

R3DRE111AVER · Aug 8, 2022

All you do is download Atmosphere, put it on the SD card, then rename your bootloader of choice to payload.bin and place it on the root of the SD card. My personal recommendation is to download Atmosphere from here as it will not only give you the CFW but any additional homebrew apps you may want and download Hekate from here as the bootloader of choice.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you very much, do we need to partition the SD card etc like on the V1?

If you want to run a partition-based emuMMC, then yes. Hekate can partition the SD card for you.

I would like to extract a game update from my clean sysmmc (using NxNandManager) without any cfw and then install the update to my emummc.

How can I do this? In NxNandManager, I found several .nca files (meta, program, manual, control) for my game, but which of them will I need to install the update? And how will I be able to install these files to my emummc? Should I convert them somehow to nsp?
