is it possible to convert a cia into a 3ds easily? I've tried a cia to 3ds converter that says it can also revert but it didn't work( said exheader was missing). Thanks for ur help in advance.
exheader is short for extended header. You can't use one from a different ROM and cart and NAND games use different formats of it, hence the converter says it's "not there".Ok I basically thought I knew all the basics of 3ds moding but what exactly is an exheader? Does have anything to do with aheader or is it a file specific for each rom? Basically I'm asking if I can use an exheader from a different rom.
They can provided you are running CFW or using a Gateway since both ignore signature checks. Currently there is no way to re-sign a ROM. You don't "get" an exheader, it's part of the ROM and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you just get a .3DS equivalent rather than trying to convert a .CIA.One last question, how do I get my hand on an exheader from a .3ds file? Also how come eshop-only games can be converted from cia to 3ds?
Answer to 1.two final questions (for real this time),1. how do i extract an exheader? 2. how come shop only titles can be converted to .3ds files?
