Hacking how to dump 3DS roms?

[kira1000]

Hello, sorry if this is in the wrong section but I would like to know how to dump 3DS roms and what hardware is needed. I am looking at getting a gateway so I can get 3DS titles from overseas but would like to try it out on a few games I already have first.

You can't.
At the moment, none of the dumping hardware has been released or leaked.

Added question mark.

You know, those things that are supposed to mark a question.

How can you create a .3ds file then?

Ask the sceners if you ever meet one.
No public dumper for the 3ds yet.
But there may be a public one soon...

 

[Rydian]

Yeah, unlike DS ROM-dumping stuff, all the 3DS ROM-dumping stuff isn't public.

It's likely hardware-based though.

 

[tHciNc]

afaik the dumpers atm are all hardware based

It's likely hardware-based though.

Yeah, it is.
(and that info is coming from one of the guys at VENOM).

Yeah, it is.

but clearly someone else knows it

as we have had a load of iND J releases recently

there is hardware to dump the save file but at the moment it wont dump the .3ds rom file

Yeah.
Quite possibly a leak in the scene, or someone's made their own.

Well if you are talking about dumping to gateway you will need this:

thanks for the quick responses, shame though. Means I gotta download all the games I want to play on my GW3DS until the tools to dump the .3ds files come out.
