This method is much simpler and more user-friendly than the previous method, but comes with two caveats: - -1. Digitally installed games that were released after the introduction of system version 9.6 cannot be dumped using braindump. -2. Braindump can't access all of the game's information, so it generates fake metadata. That is usually good enough for Citra, [__but not always__](https://github.com/neobrain/braindump/issues/24). If you find the game from braindump doesn't work (while others can play it), or you need a lossless dump for better compatibility, please use Decrypt9WIP instead. - -#### Required tools -- [braindump](https://gbatemp.net/threads/braindump-userland-game-dumping.407332/) -- 3DS system with access to [the Homebrew Launcher](https://smealum.github.io/3ds/) -- SD card with enough space to dump the game card, 8GB or higher recommended -- SD card reader (preferred), or a way to use wireless file transfer - -#### Instructions -1. Set up braindump by extracting the `braindump` folder to the `3ds` folder at the root of your 3DS SD card. -2. Enter the Homebrew Launcher using one of the various exploits. -3. Choose braindump, then select the game you want to dump. -4. Wait for the process to finish. -5. Your game will be at the root of the SD card and is immediately usable with Citra. \ No newline at end of file +### ~~Method 2: braindump~~ +(This method is temporary removed because it has caused too many bad game dumps.
