so i got fbi and decided to download a cia of a game (game is warioware gold for reference) but it wont load it just flashes red with the 3ds logo like most 3ds games do but it doesent go out of it, does anyone know why this is happening?
ok i did that and it still doesent work[GitHub, ihaveamac] SeedDB list
With Internet connection,
- FBI → Titles → Wario Ware Gold → Import Seed
Which game? Give name and region.ok i did that and it still doesent work
warioware gold pal reigonWhich game? Give name and region.
what folder do i put the seeddb in?Which game? Give name and region.
I'm surprised FBI didn't work for you with its online seed import. You can try your luck with the offline methods below to see if it makes any difference.warioware gold pal reigon

where do i find all the dat filesI'm surprised FBI didn't work for you with its online seed import. You can try your luck with the offline methods below to see if it makes any difference.

seeddb.bin is used by hydroseed to produce *.dat files. FBI allows offline seed importing if these *.dat files are placed at:
FBI does not work with seeddb.bin.
- smdc:/fbi/seed/0004##########00.dat
***
GodMode9 can import seed for a *.cia before it's installed on HOME Menu by FBI.
Games that are already installed cannot have their seed imported with GodMode9.
GodMode9 does directly use seeddb.bin when that file is put in:
To import a seed,
- sdmc:/gm9/support/seeddb.bin
- GodMode9 → 0:/.../*.cia → CIA image options... → Decrypt file (...) → Decrypt inplace
If GodMode9 has the seeddb.bin, another rudimentary method of seed import for a game that needs one but is already installed is to back it up into *.cia and then reinstall it. Just keep in mind reinstalling a game will overwrite any save progress you had for that game; requires backing up saves + extdata with Checkpoint or JKSM before reinstalling the CIA.
You extract them out of seeddb.bin using the Windows program hydroseed. Easiest way to do this is by dragging and dropping seeddb.bin onto hydroseed.exe. The program will automatically produce the fbi folder with all the *.dat seeds.where do i find all the dat files
ok so i put the dat file in the right folder and i did the import seed thing with wifi off and i loaded the game and it still doesent work, should i update the game?You extract them out of seeddb.bin using the Windows program hydroseed.

This is a native firm 2.52 game. It likely needs minimum 3ds firm 11.2 to work.
yeah my 3ds is like not that at all you sure homebrew will still work if i update it though?:\
Although the game should be able to play without its update, go ahead and install the update to save yourself the headache of running into game breaking bugs later.
I'm trying to find what's the minimum 3DS firmware requirement that this game needs at 3dsdb.com, but the website is currently down.
From a previous thread,
Update your EUR 3DS firmware to 11.9.0-42E if you haven't already, import the seed once more, and try launching the game again.
I get the impression you're using outdated custom firmware. Depending on what you have, update your CFW setup to Luma3DS v9.1, boot9strap v1.3, and GodMode9 v1.7.1 on both SD card and CTRNAND.yeah my 3ds is like not that at all you sure homebrew will still work if i update it though?

Turn on the 3DS and hold the (Select) button to access Luma3DS configuration.
or
- Luma3DS v7.0.5 or older (arm9loaderhax): A9LH to B9S
- Luma3DS v7.1–v9.0 (boo9strap v1.0–v1.2): Updating B9S
ok so i have luma 3ds on 9.1 what should i do to make sure i dont break my cfw should i just update it like normal and it will be fine?but i only installed it yesterday
After all that and it still not working, it kinda seems like you have a bad dump. Try one from another source, or convert your own from a .3ds ROM using GodMode9 or 3DS Simple CIA Converter. Either that or you're on an old firmware that doesn't support seed keys.ok so i put the dat file in the right folder and i did the import seed thing with wifi off and i loaded the game and it still doesent work, should i update the game?
If you're on an old 3DS firmware, you should update from System Settings.but i only installed it yesterday

im pretty sure the reason is now that my 3ds is 11.1 and the game will not work on that fwAfter all that and it still not working, it kinda seems like you have a bad dump. Try one from another source, or convert your own from a .3ds ROM using GodMode9 or 3DS Simple CIA Converter.

No. Leave the custom firmware alone. I don't think that's the problem.but i only installed it yesterday

Update the 3DS firmware. You ← Me.im pretty sure the reason is now that my 3ds is 11.1 and the game will not work on that fw
i dont want to update the firmware and then find out that i cant get cfw again because it wont work on 11.9No. Leave the custom firmware alone. I don't think that's the problem.
Check if your SD card is bad.
Other than that, I don't know what else to tell you in what might be wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Copy everything off your SD card onto a computer.
- Reformat it in FAT32 + 32 KB cluster size with Windows File Explorer or guiformat (if bigger than 32 GB).
- Full Write + Verify the empty card for hardware issues using H2testw.
- If an error was reported, replace the failed card.
*** Post edit - forget everything above this. ***
Update the 3DS firmware. You ← Me.

Q: Is it safe to update CFW SysNAND?
A: Yes. This is safe, stop asking about it.
ok but it when i update it instead of it saying sys on system settings it just says the normal thing
actually never mind it still says sys ok thanks for you help anyway looks like its workingok but it when i update it instead of it saying sys on system settings it just says the normal thing
The Sys tag denotes SysNAND meaning you're booting from the system's onboard NAND. There's something called EmuNAND or RedNAND, but that stuff is old history and you don't need to concern yourself with that.ok but it when i update it instead of it saying sys on system settings it just says the normal thing
