I used rxTools to get emunand working and updated it to 9.8. Now trying to convert 3ds rom to cia to use with emunand

1) Copy XYZ.3ds rom to SD card
2) Put SD card into 3DS
3) Turn on 3DS and boot into rxTools
4) Select Decryption Options > Decrypt CTR Titles
5) Wait until rom is decrypted-> Decrypted 1 files -> press A to exit
6) Shut down 3DS and move SD card to PC
7) Copy XYZ.3ds to 3ds_to_cia_v2.07 folder
8) Rename file to XYZ_MODIFIED.3ds (since it is already decrypted)
8) Drag XYZ_MODIFIED.3ds onto Make2.07.bat
9) Batch file launches -> hit 'S' to build .cia file
10) Copy .cia to SD card
11) Put SD card into 3DS
12) Turn on 3DS and boot into rxTools
13) Launch rxMode in EmuNAND
14) Start Health & Safety app (FBI)
15) select .cia and click A to install

I get following error:

Install failed!
Could not install aPP
Raw Error: 0xc8a0802b
Module: AM (0x20)
Level: Status (0x19)
Summary: Invalid State (0x5)
Description: Database doesn't exist (0x2b)

*FYI: Based on error message, I reset title.db and import.db under "Nintendo 3DS/<id0>/<id1>/dbs/" directory on SD card, but this did not resolve issue.


*SOLVED* Downloaded a free title from eShop under EmuNAND fixed the problem

I ended up downloading a free title from eshop under EmuNAND, that fixed up title.db and import.db

Now FBI was able to install .cia

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
