Sorry, so how exactly do I decrypt it?

How did you get the CIA you're using?

 

[Lozzu]

How did you get the CIA you're using?

Extracted from the eshop version, from godmode

Copied these into the other folder and renamed (ui_cmn_eng.arc comes from Dual Destinies Demo)

those are their original names, did you rename them to 000400000014AD00_v00.cia and dd_font.bin respectively?

If that doesn't help and the error is still the same as before, select the CIA in GodMode9 > CIA image options... > Decrypt file (...) = > Decrypt inplace

This will either decrypt the CIA or throw an error if it already is decrypted.

Did you try decrypting the CIA like I told you to? The second line from the top and the fact that the original font archive couldn't be opened tells me you did not...

 

[Lozzu]

Yeah, gave the error like you said.

 

[Uwabami]

Yeah, gave the error like you said.

It said that the CIA is already decrypted?

In that case I need two things:
1) The complete log in the black window - probably best if you use https://pastebin.com for that
2) Please explain exactly what you mean by this:

Is the issue that I used the cia with updates? (Cus the cia came from a version with updates)

Ignore the second question, I just redownloaded the game again from the eshop. https://pastebin.com/KdAsKUte

This CIA isn't completely decryted, GodMode9 probably also told you that it couldn't find the seed for it (if not, please provide the exact error message GodMode9 gave you). This means you never started the game from the Home Menu.
Did you use a Japanese 3DS to buy from eShop or did you use some other trick? If so, please elaborate...

hey i would like to know, would this work for a 3DS Emulator?

No. And there is no 3DS emulator currently that can run DGS on a playable level.

I have a question...

I think i've done all the steps correctly, but when i open the game, it gets stuck on the "3DS Loading Screen". No idea what i've done wrong. Could I get some help ?

Also, in any case... Great job. I thought I would get kids before being able to play this game TBH xD

Sure, how big is the CIA file our patcher produced? Any errors while making it?

I will check as soon as i get home to get more details, but I don't remember havind any issues during the patching, and the cia patch was about 16mb.
The game worked fine before patching, but it starts getting stuck in loading screen as soon as i patched it.

Is this your first time using our patch or did you use a previous version? Also, is your version of FBI current?

 

[DarthDub]

You could try Citra.

 

[Uwabami]

You could try Citra.

It runs like crap in Citra, trust me. It would've made my life so much easier if Citra would run DGS...

I'm trying to get this thing to work.So I make the dgs episode 2 patch.cia. The thing is,the game has an update to ver 1.1.0 and it's necessary in order to run without problems.So another problem that pops up is that when I have the base game installed and it's update and try to install the patch file through fbi,it cancels out the update installation and installs the translation but with the game reverted to 0.0.0 . Which means it's unbootable. So it's basically pointless trying to translate it through the patch. And just in case you're wondering, if you try to install the update to the game while having the base game and the patch installed,it cancels out the patch. How am I supposed to install this?
