Hi, I’m using Azahar on my AYN Thor and everything is running great but I am having no luck installing my CIA files. I’ve tried several different files of the same games from several different places but none of them are able to install and I’m always greeted with some variation of an error message. From what I’ve gathered I need to have a decrypted standard cia file for my game but it has been impossible to find as they are almost always in .3ds or are encrypted or legit cias which don’t seem to work either. I know of tools such as batch 3ds cia decryptor but that only works on a pc and I don’t have the time or availability of a computer most of the time. Is there any way I am able to get my cia files that I already have downloaded to work with Azahar?
#Can’t get cia files to install, is it possible to make them usable?

How on earth can a digital title become .3ds? unless you are looking to build a .cia from a cartridge, which you can by simply choosing "build cia from file", you're supposed to use the Build CIA (standard) for games in the title manager, not Build CIA (legit), legit doesn't decrypt them or comes with the ticket, so Azahar can't use these, if you want to decrypt games, use GodMode9, select the file to decrypt > NCSD image options > decrypt file

If you're dumping a cartridge, you should always try to dump them as decrypted files with this last bit, so instead of just copying to gm9/out, select NCSD image options > decrypt file
This will result in a usable dump, and Azahar will detect it after changing the file extension from .3ds to .cci
I was able to successfully dump about 6 games to my gm9/out but for some reason many other games such as Ocarina of Time 3D and Animal Crossing New leaf are always stuck on 0% and then produces an “insert content failed” and “cia build failed” message. Is there anything I can do?
In the case they're digital games, check that the games are actually installed and not corrupted
I looked a little further and I believe it a storage issue causing it, is there a difference between SD CTR and my SD? They display as 2 separate things in god mode 9 and I’m not too familiar with the file name terms
Can you show a photo? what are you doing?
I’m just in the main menu of god mode 9
Also while I was freeing up space by looking through my titles in FBI, I noticed that several of the games I wanted to dump had update titles with them like Majoras Mask HD and then the title after was the Update
Is there anything special I need to do to dump those titles with updates?
Haven't you been using the tltle manager?
Yes, but this was just for seeing how much space was being taken up
Ok, then SDCARD is your SD card, and NAND is the system's NAND, aka internal storable, anything that says SYSNAND should be ignored
If you write to SYSNAND, you risk bricking the system
Well maybe if you just add to SYSNAND it may be safe, but really just stay away from from there, nothing really needs you to go there anyhow
Oh ok, I just wasn’t sure. Is there anything special I need to do when dumping the games from my ds to my AYN Thor for the games that have updates?
