My name has been dropped here twice so I'll also add my 2 cents: I fully agree with SigmaVirus. Here is why: We do HLE and implement most of the OS which is contained on the 3DS, for completeness this should include data files which are necessary to run games.

The whole "you need system files" is exclusive to Citra. We live in a world of HLE and emus-including-bioses. Emu users don't expect that they need more files from a real 3DS. We get a ton of support requests about this. The instructions how to get these files, which games need them etc. Ideally we wouldn't need such docs at all if we have proper recreation files.

Just ask somewhere else. Limited commentary to collaborators to reduce noise. We have implemented our own versions of all the archives by now.

BreadFish64 closed this Feb 19, 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. Toggle navigation. Download Citra The nightly build of Citra contains already reviewed and tested features.

There is one notable exception to the last statement. Other system save data aside from the config savegame can be dumped from a 3DS console by an expert user and placed in the sysdata folder. 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
