At first: Downloading Games is something we don't really want to see here (I'm against piracy).
You cannot save Pokemon Y on CFW. It's a known bug

CFW is not equal to game piracy

This is because it uses 6.X saving. CFW doesn't support any games above 6.0 (or even above 4.5). You can try to spoof, which sometimes works, but if the saving is 6.0X, then it won't work. For the same reason Pokemon Art Academy, Smash Bros, Monster Hunter, etc. All won't work.

Play a clean retail cartridge in your emunand 9.4 if you want to play pokemon (that means a new file too). If you want to pirate it, get a gateway.

really ? Lame excuse ! then why don't devs/you release a CFW with CIA support and stop hypocrisy ?

Not for you, maybe, but you're shortsighted if you think for a second that piracy isn't the main or only reason most of the people in this thread are here.

Edit: In my country 3ds games are very expensive and i'm student so i installed cfw and used it for games. (Really Expensive) Anyway i always buy pc games from steam and i don't like piracy too.

Shit! I've compiled the latest version of makerom from git, but whenever I try to compile a cia, I get a segmentation fault.
Here's the command I run:

$ makerom -f cia -target t -desc app:2 -icon exefs/icon.bin -code exefs/code.bin
-banner exefs/banner.bin -logo exefs/logo.bin -exefslogo -exheader dec_exheader.bin -romfs dec_romfs.bin -rsf cia.rsf -o Ocarina.cia -v

Here's my rsf file:

  StackSize: 0x00004000 # plaintext exheader

And here's the output:

[NCCH WARNING] NCCH AES Key could not be loaded, NCCH will not be encrypted
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Does anyone know why this is?

This is down to a small bug where makerom tries to close romfs_decrypted.bin, after it's already been closed. Comment out ncch.c:130 from latest git HEAD and try again, and you should find that it works. Need to do further testing on this, but if it seems stable, I'll make a pull request and get it into Relys Git repo.

you've got to do it all over again. I tried just copy/paste my 16gb to a new 32gb.

had to start from scratch to get everything back the way it was...only positive is that since I've done it once I kinda get it more than going in blindly.

took me about 10 mins (outside of file read/writing processes) to get back to where i was.

Why can't you use emunand tool, extract then format new sd card with gateway launcher, then inject.

Or Dump your whole SD Card as Image (Win32DiskImager), restore your Dump on the new SD Card and resize your FAT32 Partition with EaseUS Partition Master?
You don't need to format your New SD Card for Emunand, the Image of your old SD card is doing it for you

What is the solution to ctrclient: failed to connect? I cant get it to work.

 

[DSoryu]

Well got stuck with the "failed to conect" problem, and as I read the post it seems that problems gets solved over luck...

i'm sorry, the current links are nothing more than spam. They give you the run around and try and trick you into installing stuff you don't want.
