[Link to Guide] Installing Luma + A9LH to play .CIA on your Nintendo 3DS

The last guide was outdated. New Guide Posted: - https://3ds.guide/


Place to get "backup" CIAs of games you already own: CIA Downloads
They also have Rom Hacks/Undubs/Translations.

If you'd rather back up your own games, here's how to dump 3DS carts and convert .3ds to .CIA" https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/40etaz/tutorial_dumping_3ds_carts_and_converting_3ds/

This will also allow you to play Rom Hacks of Pokemon Games. When I find a worthwhile tutorial I'll probably post it in the Pokemon subforum.

I won't be providing support for this since I'm still a noob. Do this completely at your own risk.

PSA: I can help with trouble shooting since I've managed to unbrick and fix my nand (from gateway dg) a few times so hmu.


Got an o3ds with stickerhax and a9lh.

Interesting.

I used to use a DS flash cart but never had a 3ds.

This is actually really useful. I got to trade in my hard copies once I dumped my saves onto the digital copies I downloaded. Very convenient to have everything with you at all times, too! I had to buy a bigger SD card, but thats all.
