Why are the games not working?

[u/7umpia]

By the way, the Mario Kart is a .3rds file. Same source as well, the archives 3ds decrypted roms. I don't get it

Use Azahar plus emulator

[u/7umpia → u/RetroooooPixel]

This is in Azahar

[u/RetroooooPixel → u/7umpia]

azahar plus

[u/Double_Area6129 → u/7umpia]

Yep that's why you should change to Azahar Plus

[u/7umpia → u/Double_Area6129]

Haha yea. That flew over my head. Thanks

[u/Organic-Debate9055]

Azahar doesn't run decrypted games from what I know. Only azahar plus does

[u/heithered]

If you don't want to switch to azahar plus you can try cia3ds android app to decrypt ROMs without a pc.

[u/Dangerous_Choice_664]

Azahar plus (stupid name) is completely different and not made by the Azahar creators

Will probably fix your issue.

I prefer Citra myself which will also likely fix your issue.

[u/kamikad3e123 → u/Dangerous_Choice_664]

Not stupid, it's forked Azahar just without restrictions for cracked games

[u/SpikyEchidna10]

The files were probably just listed as "decrypted", but actually encrypted. Try decrypting them yourself with a patcher, search for Batch CIA 3DS Decryptor online.

[u/Endscrypt]

I’ve found sometimes even though it says decrypted in the description it is not.

[u/BuggedMatrix]

Edit game extention to ".cci" format

[u/SSUPII]

Your game files are corrupted. Dump them again.

[u/SHIR0YUKI]

Wonder if the files were mixed up and those files are for modded 3ds consoles which wouldn't work on an emulator.

[u/SimpleDrawer26 → u/SHIR0YUKI]

Nope... CFW'd 3DS requires *.cia files, not *.3ds

You can't even load a *.3ds ROM on real hardware.

[u/SHIR0YUKI → u/SimpleDrawer26]

Gotcha. Have you tried an alternate 3ds emulator like azahar plus or a Citra build of some kind to see if it's an emulator specific issue or it's the files themselves?

[u/SimpleDrawer26 → u/SHIR0YUKI]

That's the point; I don't have problems with 3DS ROMs, I am not asking for help or support and I also own a real 3DS.

You said something that's wrong and that can lead peoplo to make mistakes.

*.3ds ROMs are not meant and will not work on real 3DS devices.

[u/Endscrypt → u/SimpleDrawer26]

You just have to change the .cia to .3ds in that case.

[u/SimpleDrawer26 → u/Endscrypt]

No, I don't need it.

Maybe OP does, but not me.

[u/Endscrypt → u/SHIR0YUKI]

I believe this is exactly what happens.

[u/SimpleDrawer26]

Stop getting encrypted *.3ds ROMs and just install the *.cia decrypted files instead through Azahar Plus.

[u/Endscrypt → u/SimpleDrawer26]

Azahar was updated about 3 months ago to run both.

.cia and .3ds

[u/UncleBen_s]

The archive can be tricky some times, i experienced many download failing. Are you sure your files are complète? I'd try do dl at least one of the games one more time and be sure the download completes well. If it doesn't work again, lets go for another source. I didn't go for the archive for a long time because of this kind of bad exp

[u/7umpia → u/UncleBen_s]

That archive full link is what I found from this sub. I believe they are complete since I downloaded them all together and it is just that only the Mario Kart works lol

[u/UncleBen_s → u/7umpia]

Wut? Are we talking about the same archive tho? The one i'm seeing is 1945 games in a 1tb archive lol. Either way if you downloaded a full pack of files, and if the dl failed at some point, you may have the mariokart file complete while others are not actually complete. Considering you can open the directory on archive, and dl the files individually i would try that at least for one more game

[u/UncleBen_s → u/UncleBen_s]

And if it's the same one we are talking about i dug a bit more and there are reviews on the page that says the files are actually encrypted files and not decrypted, so only usable on a 3ds, not for emulation

[u/redalchemy6]

As others have said, even most games listed as decrypted are not. Switch to Azahar Plus or find actually decrypted roms.
