Can someone explain the fw spoof to me? Im on 9.2, what to do in order to spoof Paper Jam for example? put in 2e02 or 3202 ?
There are different numbers for different firmwares. What region is your paper jam CIA from?

EDIT:
'FW Spoof' function checks FW version game requires to run and only applied if original value exceeds entered (2D02:FW8.0-8.1, 2E02:FW9.0-9.2, 3002:FW9.3, 3102:FW9.5, 3202:FW9.6-9.8).
Wait, he says it ayy lmao

great program, Riku :)
simple and easy to use, i like how it only needs two xorpad files for making .cia's from 3ds games :)the only game that needs more than two xorpads files is Fire emblem IF, but that games needs all it's xorpads for patching the eng translation to it.

um, question, can i use my 3ds to generate xorpads for GameX.3ds and then convert GaneX to .cia and use the game on my 2ds?
or does the system that creates the xorpads have to be the same system that will play GameX?

like can i use a different system to generate the xorpads and a different system to play the GameX.cia?

System does not have to be the same :)

I create xorpads on my O3DS (I use my O3DS only for Xorpad creation) and install the created cia on my 2DS/O3DS XL and N3DSXL

Great program! Thank you for your work.

Just one question, is there anyway to use this to FW spoof .cia files we may already have (ie. didn't convert from .3ds roms)?

I know how to boot rxTools. "Use rxTools" is incredibly vague though, especially when it also has "along with created ncchinfo.bin".

Read the rest of the sentence please. The only thing that's not in the directions was how to get into the rxTools menu.

So, for example, if i want to convert Triforce heroes who need 9.6+ i have ton enter 3202 in the case of FW Spoof?

Thanks a ton! This would be great to have in the topic. It was so easy to follow along!

PS. You might wish to add if you need to re-do the guide each time. I figured it's not needed expect once to get the xorpads and then just use the "Convert 3DS Roms to CIA"

No, you have to insert a value that matches your actual fw (or lower). So if you have for example a 9.5 emunand you should enter 3102 or lower, such as 2E02. Anyway for triforce heroes you'll have to spoof the update too (or find an already spoofed one).
Last option: wait for 10.3 emunand, it's really around the corner

Thank you @Riku for the software. It was an ease to use! But if it's possible to implement a %-bar? Since people might think it locks when it's working.
