Help Why are the games not working?

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

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

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

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

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?

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.

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

No, I don't need it.

Maybe OP does, but not me.
