Installing Releases

Important

These instructions show you how to install a Release on your 3DS with CFW.
If you want to install a Release on Citra read Installing on Citra.

Prerequisites

You need:

• a 3DS with CFW (see 3DS Hacks Guide)
  • including FBI
• the patches from the Release you want to install
  • e.g. Patches-v1.0-EN.zip
• Game Patcher

Setup

Note

The setup is only required to do a single time. Once this is done you can skip to Patching for updating the game.

Dumping

First you need to obtain a .cia file of the game from your 3DS: Dumping the Game.

Workspace

Create a new folder and place the following in it:

• The .cia file of the original game
• The patches (e.g. Patches-v1.0-EN.zip)
• GamePatcher.exe from the previously downloaded Game Patcher

Patching

To apply the downloaded patches to the dumped .cia file do the following:

• Run GamePatcher.exe
• Wait until the process is finished
• When asked to clean up you have three options:
  • n to preserve all folders and tools and therefore speed up the next execution
  • y to delete all the folders created in the current execution
  • all to delete all folders in the current directory as well as all the downloaded tools

Installing

The last step is to install the patched .cia file on your 3DS.

• Copy the .cia files to the folder /cias on the SD card of your 3DS
• Boot the 3DS and start FBI
• Navigate to SD > cias
• Select the patched .cia file and press A
  • Select Install and delete CIA and press A to confirm
  • Wait until the installation is finished

You now have the translated game installed on your 3DS.
