So i tried as you explained for converting a 3ds file into an cia file but the problem now is the 3ds file is 4.01GB big and windows told me now when i tried to drag&drop it into sd card that the file is too big for the 'target file system' (tried to translate that since my pc is german also i am) so i cant even take the 3ds file onto that sd card since fat32 doenst support files wich are more. Hey there guys, in this video we will use only our 3DS console to convert.3ds roms over to installable.cia files all with only your 3DS/2DS systems, these.
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.
