I've downloaded Pokemon Bank and Pokemon Y from the eshop some time ago, and was wondering if something like this is possible, nothing against having it in the file system, however I prefer to have my games and apps dumped as a single file in one location if I can.
#Convert an eShop downloaded game / application into a .cci file?

Only game cartridges can be converted to a .cci
As far as I know
If you want a single, executable ROM for a downloaded game, you'll need .cxi instead

Ah ok I think I'm getting .cci and .cxi mixed up.
If I can convert it into a .cxi file that would be fine too

It's relatively simple. With GM9, downloaded games can be dumped as a decrypted .cxi or .cia (which you could then install into the emulated SD card) while if you want to dump a game card you'd decrypt the .trim.3ds and then change the file extension to .cci
Downloaded games cannot be dumped as .cci

I didn't know you could run gm9 on azahar

I'm referring to GM9 on your 3DS

But I downloaded the game on the eshop on azahar. Are you saying I should log into eshop on my 3ds, and go from there?
stable quail
Hmm
You might have to. You can't run GodMode9 in Azahar to my knowledge.
And you can't convert a .app to .cci or .cxi either.

All good, I'll have to sign into the eshop on my 3ds then, is it ok to sign in on a hacked 3ds? Due to my 3ds having a very old version of cfw, I couldn't use the artic setup tool correctly so I had to format and restore my 3ds and clear all my nnid logins
stable quail
I don't know if you'll run into any issues since you have your NNID linked to Azahar
I think Nintendo might consider them the same console?
In that case you should be good

Yeah, it's completely fine. Just make sure that you're connecting to Nintendo Network and not Pretendo Network if you happen to be using Nimbus.
