How To Backup Your 3DS Games And DLC! (Modded 3DS Required)

With the 3DS eShop and online services gone, it is a good idea to backup your 3DS games and purchases. With a modded 3DS, backing up all of your 3DS content is easy to accomplish and ensures you can enjoy it on another 3DS system in case yours happens to die or through 3DS emulation. In this video, I will show you how to backup 3DS game cartridges as well as digital content like downloaded games and DSiware!

Cant I just use checkpoint? To backup games?

[@lukerider756]

Once the digital games are backed up to a .cia file, can they be converted back to.3ds and decrypted to be played on the new citra emulator on Xbox S/X?

[@hamstergt1869]
