Dumping your retail game (Your SD card must be big enough to hold the game you are dumping or else you will get an error)

1. Insert your retail game cartridge into your 3ds

2. Go to the Gateway menu and select "Backup 3DS Game Cartridge"

3. Press [START] to dump Game. Wait for it to finish

4. Press [A] To Exit

5. Turn off the 3ds and Take out the SD Card

6. Open the SD card on your computer. There will be a .3ds file where your .sav files are. This is the rom that was created from your retail game. Move this to your desktop.

Extracting the header


7. Open Gateway ROM Patcher and click "Load ROM"

8. Open the .3ds file on your desktop

9. Click "Export header to file" and save the .bin file to your desktop

so its totally fine to use the smaller game cart of Nintendogs and Cats to get the header from... and use this to play any rom online safely?
it definatly dont need to be a private header from a Online game cart?

final revised step by step...
1. i put game cart into the 6.2 3ds
2. copy gateway launcher.dat onto the sd card
3. go to http://go.gateway-3ds.com on 3ds browser
4. select "Backup 3DS Game Cartridge"... which will dump image of the game cart to the sd card
5. Press [START] to dump Game. Wait for it to finish
6. Press [A] To Exit.
7. Turn off the 3ds and Take out the SD Card
8. insert sdcard into my pc. There will be a .3ds file. This is the rom that was created from your retail game. Move this to your desktop. (i am now safe to give my friend his 6.2 3ds back)
9. Run gateway Rom patcher, and select load rom.
10. open the .3ds file on your desktop.
11. Click "Export header to file" and save the .bin file to your desktop

then i use No Ban No Sky to inject private header into the latest template i download from sky3ds

Not sure if you've done it yet but it does every game in the template

You guys have been incredible!

Thank you iViperz. Each time sky3ds release a updated template, do we have to reinject our private header into it? Do we lose save games if we do this?..... Or it totally safe as it puts back our private header that the save game data is linked to

a guy on here said it dont matter what size game cart is that take header from.... but i read another place that if use a header from a 512mb game cart, and play a 4gb game rom (monster hunter 4)... then it wont work and will give an error. But other say its fine.
