Convert 3ds To Cia Godmode

admin



  • There are two types of games format which are compatible with Nintendo 3DS which is the 3ds format and the cia format.You need to have a flashcart such as Sk.
  • So that s how you take a rom specifically a gba rom and convert it to a cia and install it on your home menu. And then if you want to take any of your old c files and inject them as well as create new save files and save them using god mode. That s how you do it so i hope you guys enjoyed there should be more related videos to this on the 3ds.

I do not claim to be an expert, but hopefully this helps you. Maybe you can avoid having to convert the.3ds files elsewhere. Thanks for watching! Convert 3DS ROMs for Installation Use GodMode9 to convert your.3ds ROM’s to.cia files that can be installed on your 3DS Install Virtual Console Games (GBC, GBA, SNES etc) Convert ROM’s to Virtual Console titles and install them directly to your Home menu using New Super Ultimate Injector.

GodMode9 is a full access file browser for the Nintendo 3DS console, giving you access to your SD card, the FAT partitions inside your SysNAND and EmuNAND, and basically anything else. Among other functionality, you can copy, delete, rename files, and create folders.
