  • How to transfer game data to new jailbroken 3ds
    1 project | /r/3dspiracy | 5 Mar 2023
    If it was ever jailbroken, check your backups and SD card for files named movable.sed or essential.exefs (which contains a copy of movable.sed). If you can get the console to boot just far enough to load Godmode9, you can obtain this. (Even with broken screens -- you just need another console to play along on or someone writing down the button sequence because you're flying blind.) Either of these files can be used to decrypt the saves stored on the SD card using ninfs.
  • I ran over my 3ds
    1 project | /r/3dspiracy | 11 Jan 2023
    If you have the movable.sed file from your old 3DS (or essential.exefs, which contains this), then you can use ninfs

  • Is there a way to fix this?
    1 project | /r/3DS | 20 Sep 2022
    Thank you so much for the info. As you said, I got the same answer on discord but at least I can try to figure out my nand backup with ihaveamac/ninfs
  • Problem with NAND (/How do I extract shit from a bin file)
    1 project | /r/Citra | 9 Aug 2022
    You can try ninfs but since the NAND is encrypted, it requires that you have dumped your boot9.bin as well.
  • Is it possible to bypass the 3ds system check so I can get a nand backup?
    1 project | /r/3DS | 31 May 2022
    You can find movable.sed at bytes 0x600-0x73F in essential.exefs. It’s also contained at 0x800-0x93F in a GodMode9 NAND backup if you have one. With this, you can use ninfs to browse the decrypted SD contents and back up your games and saves (you will need the file boot9.bin, which you might have backed up as _boot9_##.bin, but it’s the same for all systems so you can back it up from another 3DS if needed). I think ninfs can also open essential.exefs and get movable.sed for you. You can also use ninfs to browse a NAND backup.
  • A: Drive Deletion
    1 project | /r/Citra | 8 Jun 2021
    Alright, so I've clearly got an extremely thick skull and when I was trying to decrypt a .3ds file, the decryption tool (https://github.com/ihaveamac/ninfs/releases) somehow made a new drive on my computer, which I am now stuck with... Does anyone know how to get rid of it?
  • How can I decrypt/rencrypt a DSi NAND for experimenting
    1 project | /r/NDSHacks | 28 May 2021
    ninfs works pretty well, on Windows you'll also need OSFMount to mount the disk images.
  • Can’t find Romfs file
    2 projects | /r/Roms | 21 Apr 2021
    You can use ninfs to mount .3DS and dump romfs.bin on your PC. https://github.com/ihaveamac/ninfs
