I'm trying to convert a cia file to 3ds for Citra using 3DS To CIA Converter v4.1, but I get a "Could not read exheader file" error. From taking a look a this thread, it seems I need the xorpad of the exheader. The thing is, I already have it, but I don't know what to do with it? :glare: How on earth do I tell the converter to use it?

this isn't required actually. you can just extract the cia, add ".cxi" to the end of the first content (contents.0000.xxxxxxxx), and it should work in citra assuming it's decrypted.

To solve it, you must decript your cia, before convert it into .3ds, you can do it with a program, this tutorial for example has a decripter:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
