It's been three whole years since @d0k3 first unveiled GodMode9, his homebrew Swiss Army knife for the 3DS, and today a new update has been released just in time for the celebrations!

Version 1.8.0 brings some new interesting features as well as improvements and bug fixes. A few notable ones are the ability to create installable CIAs from DSiWare NDS files, a tool capable of printing useful information from CIAs, new scripting commands & switches and a few bugfixes made to the Megascript. There are of course many more and you can read about them in the full changelog below.

• [new] CIA Checker tool gives insights into any CIA file provided
• [new] DSiWare NDS files can be converted to CIA
• [new] Offer fixing for BOSS files on failed verification
• [improved] Switched from Thumb to ARM and enabled LTO (may or may not improve performance)
• [improved] Full verification for RomFS inside NCCH
• [improved] Added a prompt when building CIA with a private legit ticket
• [improved] Cart id and type is shown on gamecart drive
• [improved] Number of explorer panes increased to 3
• [fixed] Proper verification of CFA images (also fixes NCSD verification)
• [fixed] Proper handling for incomplete DLC CIAs
• [fixed] Some minor bugs in the GM9 Megascript (thanks @annson24)
• [fixed] Countless other minor bug fixes and improvements
• [special] Special anniversary edition splash screen
• [scripting] textview command for viewing text files
• [scripting] dumptxt command for dumping text to a file
• [scripting] extrcode and cmprcode commands (to extract and compress .code, thanks @Hyarion-SS )
• [scripting] cp -p allows appending a file to another (thanks @Hyarion-SS)
• [scripting] filesel -x and dirsel -x enable a new file selector style (thanks @windows-server-2003)

Grateful for your hard work.

Wait...so with this we can create CIA file for NDS games ?
After reading, still a bit confused on how that works.

 

[gudenau]

This is pretty cool, I was poking around the source recently so I knew some of this was coming.

For a moment i thought Godmode9 was released for Switch but sadly not. Its just an update for the 3DS that are catching dust

Good work though. Its nice to see the 3DS still has people creating more tools and options for it

 

[CMDreamer]

Great!!! Now I can easily install my DSiWare.

But, how do I update it on my 3DS?

 

[Dothackjhe]

Which files need replacing with this updated version?

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Oh, wow! Thank you for continuing support, d0k3, as well as: annson24, Hyarion-SS, and windows-server-2003 for working on 1.8.0.

 

[gameboy]

i actually still play my 3ds

 

[Dothackjhe]

The 3DS is still not dead, yet. It only stopped getting production of games in Japan and with Persona Q2 being the last of them for the West.

I do not think any game console dies anyway, so long as there's a single person who patronizes it.

As copied from https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9:

• Rename GodMode9.firm (from the release archive) to X_GodMode9.firm (change X to the button of your choice) and put it into sd:/luma/payloads/
• Copy the gm9 folder from the release archive to your SD card.
