These so called files is present on every 3DS out there and it's funny when you think about it, how come people can "dump" their games but fail to dump the necessary files for Citra.

If you can dump the games you sure can dump the files too. In order to even dump the games you have to own a 3DS but somehow people without a 3DS that cries about missing files manage to do it anyway. I think I have made my point very clear here and the Citra team doesn't need to do anything about this. People that don't own a 3DS, well tough luck! Sorry, something went wrong. SigmaVirus End users are most likely either inexperienced or malicious, but regardless of what their intent is, system files are, as JayFoxRox mentioned in the forum post, something that should've already been done ages ago.

And, the purpose of emulating a system is to preserve its legacy, yeah? How hard is it to get the system files now? But what about in a year? Five years? Should we really wait until then to do this? Or do we want to end up like the Original Xbox's emulation scene? That is, in disrepair and desperately hoping to find some glimpse of technical documentation buried in a developer unit's NAND. I am in no way supportive of piracy especially after having been on the other side of that conversation as a game developer myself , but should we purposefully cripple the project because of it?

Sure, some may believe it to be a "legal guard rail", if you will, but I'd argue that it's just the opposite in the long run.

The fact that it depends on IP to boot a great majority of games and homebrew, would just motivate more piracy in the future, when a 3DS is not as common a commodity. When presented with this choice, the end user will always pick the green button that reads "Download Now! You both make valid points but whether or not, getting the original consoles is not the emulator authors problem and never have been. They are not obligated to make "fake" BIOSes and "files" to get things running but yet some authors do and I don't like it at all.

Emulation isn't supposed to be a free ride but somehow it has been for years and it angers me. I don't care if people don't have the economics to buy a console or game as it's not my problem nor the emulator authors. If you don't own it well it sucks being you! I fully agree with SigmaVirus. By following the guide below you do get the shared fonts as well.

At this time, Citra can run many games without needing to do any special work on a physical 3DS. However, some games do require files dumped from a 3DS in order to function properly. This tutorial will teach you how to dump the system archives alongside the config savegame , which are critical for some games, such as Pokemon, to work. If you do not own a 3DS to dump the files from, you are out of luck.

At this time, though, many features that read from or write to system save data have not been implemented so there is currently little value in doing so. See this discussion topic for more details about dumping system save data. NAND extra data always has a TID High of , so the extdata directory should contain a folder, though it has been observed in Citra that there may be a folder instead, and users have reported issues if there is both a and folder contained therein, so it is advised to delete the folder if that is the case.

Inside the folder may be nothing, or it may contain one or more directories named F , where can be the characters A-F or the numbers Each of these folders corresponds to a TID low, which can be used to identify the type of extra data stored therein.

See 3dbrew for details about the different kinds of extra data stored in NAND. This folder, named , will only exist if the system archives have been dumped from a physical 3DS. The system archives are required for some games to work with Citra. This directory is the equivalent of the SD card inserted into a physical 3DS, which stores game save, extra data and any titles installed to the SD card in encrypted format. Inside the sdmc folder, just like on a real 3DS console, is a Nintendo 3DS directory, which contains two more directories, Private and Citra will create camera data while it is running.

This directory contains another directory of the same name, and inside of that is where game saves in the title directory and extra data in the extdata directory can be found. On a real SD card, there would not be two folders, but instead the folders would be named as hexadecimal characters corresponding to a 3DS console ID.

If any games have been saved while playing them with Citra, there should be a folder inside sysdata named This folder contains all of the save data for 3DS titles. It is entirely possible to retrieve save data from an SD card using a physical 3DS console and import it into Citra to continue a game where it was last left off on the console. On a real SD card, the sysdata folder will also contain the files required to run any 3DS titles installed to the SD card.

On a real SD card, there may be two other directories inside sysdata. These directories are named e and c and correspond to downloaded game updates and DLC respectively. The latest version of GodMode9 is required to redump your DLCs if you do not own all them as it was dumped incorrectly before. This directory contains all of the extra data created when playing 3DS game backups. The backups folder contains saved data backed up via the Home Menu.
