anyway to turn 3DS Roms to CCI file types.

[DJPlace]

there's a new emulator i'm testing called Azahar and i would like to know how if anyone can help me.

Decrypted 3DS and CCI are the same file type. Just rename them and you're good to go.

Some of them can be done that way, it hasn't worked for every game I've got. Myrient has an eshop for 3ds roms that come in the cia format. Use 3DS decrypter to convert the file to cci format.

Going by the github page it should just be a rename.
Maybe it's a bad / non-standard dump? Or it could be the emulator itself acting up since these are release candidate builds.

• Azahar now makes use of the .cci extension, which is the true name of the format used by .3ds files
• You can still make use of ROMs with the .3ds file extension by simply renaming the file to use the .cci extension.

I did that too but Azahar still says it's encrypted

I think the only way to decrypt them is to use a jailbroken 3DS (or just find new, unencrypted files)

 

[DJPlace]

i think there's a program to decrypt them but i forget what one i used.

many rom sites claim the 3ds games are decrypted when they are not.

Myrient has the proper decrypted versions

 

[HyperTurboFox]

Don't use Azahar, use it fork instead AzaharPlus.
AzaharPlus support both .CCI and .3ds files aside you can actually play eshop only games without decrypting them.

Simply rename the file extension from .3ds to .cci and the alternate file format works just as normal in Azahar. But if they are decrypted files there is no problem to rename the extension format as stated above.

As a side note, it is somewhat annoying that encrypted/unencrypted 3DS ROMs use the same file extension. It would've been nice if they had standardized a different one.
