Convert 3ds To Cia Godmode9 Failed

GodMode9 by dok3 is a powerful file manager for 3DS that comes with a myriad of useful features from system backup/restore, dumping cartridges and converting 3DS game files between different formats. This guide will show you how to backup and restore your 3DS system, this is highly recommended and one of the first things you should do after hacking your 3DS.

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. 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. Note that if you wish to convert a.3ds file that is already on a flashcart, you should follow Dumping a Game Cartridge; Launch GodMode9 by holding (Start) during boot; Navigate to 0: SDCARD- cias; Press (A) on your.3ds file to select it, then select “NCSD image options”, then select “Build CIA from file”.
