Homebrew Having the physical and digital copy of a game on one console

[Luc4s]

Hello

So I have smash bros. 3ds on a cartridge and Id like to know the following things

• Can I get a CIA out of the cartridge or something and install it as a digital copy
• If not will any CIA of the game work(by work I mean will my saves and dlcs still be here)

Thank you !

1. Decrypt9 can dump your carts to cia format
2. DLC should be fine
3. Saves have to be extracted from cart and injected to the newly installed cia

people keep saying this but i can never find the option. Is it just not in the a9lh payload version?

Check "Gamecart Dumper Options" in the Decrypt9 menu.

I just dumped my cartridge to CIA but I don't see how I can dump the save ?

•Dump game with hourglass9/decrypt9.

•Open FBI to install the .CIA file (should be in the files9 folder)

•Play the game once so it can be extracted.

•Open JKSM and export your cartridge save, go the the digital copy and import the the save from your cartridge.

It is under "Gamecart Dump" as said above, but you can find this option also in Hourglass9. Decrypt9 isn't a requirement.

Fbi can manage save data but it's pretty clunky. If you want to do it often a proper save manager is the better choice.
