Homebrew Is it possible to play DSi ware rom (.cia) on 3ds emulator ?

If there are parts unclear: Please tell me exactly where the problem is. I want to improve the tutorial.​

Is your tutorial works with no$gba 3.0 ?

Nobody can do the reading/learning for you. https://dsi.cfw.guide/

On this website it actually mentionned that I need a DSi to reach my goal,a nd I don't have a DSi, but I can already have access to the DSi menu, and if I understand correctly I need to add on this menu Hiya and TWL++. But I need to do this without SD card or something and without DSi.

Is it possible to have access to a no$gba folder with a Hiya and TWL++ already installed ?

The only methods I know are installing

• unlaunch on the virtual NAND (DSI-1.MMC) followed by
• HiyaCFW and TWiLight Menu++ on virtual SD (DSI-1.SD) …
• … and then adding the games to HiyaCFW(SDNAND) and/or TWiLight Menu++

How I supposed to follow you tuto if the tuto is about real SD Card ? How the virtual console could detect the virtual SD card ?? It's not the same case

How the virtual console could detect the virtual SD card ??

No$gba fully emulates the SD functions as well. The file DSI-1.SD is what is inserted automatically into the virtual DSi as an SD. Whatever is done with a physical SD for a physical DSi, has to be done inside DSI-1.SD for the emulated DSi.

When following https://dsi.cfw.guide/ there are only two differences compared to a real DSi:

• No need for the Memory Pit exploit. Unlaunch can be installed right from virtual "cartridge"
• You don't put the things HiyaCFW Helper provides on a real SD but inside the SD image named "DSI-1.SD"
  • Windows does not mount such images by default. This has to be done with third-party software like OSFMount.
  • OSFMount will provide an additional drive (letter), just like a real SD(reader) does when connecting to the computer.

Please use the path of the guide that installs both, HiyaCFW and TWiLight Menu++, and not only TWiLight Menu++. Touchscreen initialization seems to fail (on No$gba, real DSi is fine) when directly booting to TWiLight Menu++ without HiyaCFW.

Okay, it's doesn't work for me. I use 2 method, I use my cousin's DSi to perform the tuto and it doesn't work I have an error when I launch fwTool on my DSi. It block the loading at 1500 blocks(and sometime at 586 blocks, cf image) my console version is 1.4.5 and I dowload pit for 1.4 - 1.4.5.

Then i try to use virtual SD and I can't even launch fwTool a window open and say: "notyet supported sd/mmc command 00000001"

How I supposed to fix at least one of these problem ?

=============================== EDIT ==============================

I format my DSi SD Card and I follow the rest of tutorial and it's work ! Okay... but the problem with no$gba still the same... How can i transfer all my data from my DSi (like NAND or something I don't know) to No$GBA ? Like this I could find my old DSi menu on No$GBA with all games and stuff...

If I try any manipulation on unlauch launcher or something like this I automatically get this error:

@KleinesSinchen How could I fix it with virtual SD method propose in this page.

I finally did it ! I fixed the problem with the new version of no$gba
thanks you for the help !

Hmm. Sorry to dust off an old thread, but I've hit a snag that I can't quite wrap my head around.

I have plenty of DSIware files in NDS that work very well in No$gba. Slow, sure, but fine.
I also have some in CIA format. When I use NINFS, I can extract the NDS really easily, but tnose NDS files will not load in no$gba.

Open to thoughts on why.
