3ds Simple Cia Converter Tutorial

Nintendo 3DS games can often be found in the .3ds format, which is intended for emulators like Citra. Nintendo 3DS consoles cannot load .3ds ROM files, however they can be converted to .cia format which can be installed on hacked 3DS consoles with FBI. This guide will show you how to convert your .3ds ROMs to .cia files using GodMode9.

Required Downloads:

  • GodMode9 (latest version)

4: Converting.3ds files to.cia. Locate the newly-generated.xorpad files, and copy them to //3DS Simple CIA Converter/xorpads. Re-open '3dssimplecia.exe,' and click on 'Convert 3DS ROM to CIA.' Note: The program will likely freeze and be unresponsive while generating the.cia file(s). Simple 3DS converter is very outdated. 3dsconv is the latest one, and it supports using the bootroom keys so you don't need to grab the xorpads for encrypted 3DS files (those are the files simple 3DS converter is asking for). Just get the exe, put it in a folder and put the boot9.bin bootrom in the same folder and you can convert by just.
