Hi, I was able to install a Xenoblade USA .cia that I found.

I can't remember if I installed it before or after upgrading my emuNAND to 9.5 with sysupdater (MUCH easier the second time around), but I still can't get the game to work. I get the black "an error has occurred" screen and it forces a shutdown. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

I used 9.5.0-23U(Full)_n3DS.zip unzipped to /updates and installed on my emunand with sysupdater installed via cia, launched from emunand.

I meant if you installed an update for the game with a cia file? And I'm sure xenoblade needs 9.9-10.3 to work so you'll need to look up a way to spook the FW into thinking you can play it.

I thought that it only needed 9.4?

ROM information:
Original Release:
Xenoblade.Chronicles.3D.USA.N3DS-BigBlueBox
Region: USA
Language: en, fr, es
Size: 3:52 G B
Minimum Firmware: 9.4
Runs on 3DS: No
Patch Region Free: Yes Patch Online: No

http://www.3dsdb.com/ verifies that it needs 9.4

I tried right after I installed the game and it did not work. I used Free Multi Patcher to disable fw checks or whatever and updated it and still no dice. I used that method to successfully update multiple other games.

EDIT: I have a .3ds version of it as well, but I don't want to go through the pain to convert it if it's not going to work, but do you think that would be a better option?

you could try converting that one to see if that works.
