{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}

{: .notice--primary}
### Required Reading
Aside from creating and restoring NAND backups, GodMode9 has the functionality to dump installed titles to an installable `.cia` file, to dump game cartridge data to a `.3ds` ROM file, and to directly install a game cartridge to the system.
## Updating GodMode9
These instructions are written for use with GodMode9 v2.0.0 or later. If you have an older version of GodMode9, follow these instructions to update it.
{: .notice--info}
