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:

CIA files are generic data containers that can be installed on a 3DS. In order to do this you need to have a 3DS below 9.2. The process of building a CIA is similar to building a.3DS file: arm-none-eabi-strip myproject.elf makerom -f cia -o myproject.cia -rsf cia.rsf -target t -exefslogo -elf myproject.elf -icon myproject.smdh -banner banner.bin. 3DS games can also be found in.3ds format, however this is not compatible with 3DS consoles and is generally intended for 3DS emulators such as Citra.3ds files must be converted to.cia before they can be installed on your 3DS. Follow this guide on Converting 3DS ROMs to.cia with GodMode9.

- Online 3D File Converter Convert STL, 3DS, 3DP, 3MF, OBJ and PLY 3D files.Please load the file you wish to convert and select the output 3D file format. File size limited to 100MB.
- Py2exe support for building a single.exe for Windows; Other small fixes; The 3dsconv.exe in this release includes all the necessary libraries and a Python interpreter, so it should be usable on 64-bit Windows without Python installed. It may not work on 32-bit without manually building the executable. Makecia is still required (on Windows, this can be in the same folder as 3dsconv.exe).
- I assume a stripped out version of the game is in the cia as they are used to install a game on the actual 3ds. Using godmode you can rip your physical cartridge to a cia format and install the game digitally on the system.
