I am trying to build a cia from a.3ds (2.0GB) file installed on my SD directory.I cannot download a cia from the internet because the specific file i am trying to build is of an Alpha Sapphire rom hack. I navigated to the file on Godmode9 and chose to build cia from the file, but it instantly says CIA build failed.

GodMode9 is a full access file browser for the Nintendo 3DS console, giving you access to your SD card, to the FAT partitions inside your SysNAND and EmuNAND and to basically anything else. Among other functionality, you can copy, delete, rename files and create folders.
This is powerful stuff, it provides you with the means to do basically any thinkable modification to any system data available on the 3DS console. However, precautions are taken so you don't accidentally damage the data of your console. The write permissions system protects you by providing warnings and forces you to enter an unlock sequence for enabling write permissions. It is not possible to overwrite or modify any important stuff without such unlock sequences and it is not possible to accidentally unlock something. As always, be smart, keep backups, just to be safe.

Installing[edit]
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the 3ds/
folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of 3ds/
, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
[appname].3dsx
: The executable.[appname].smdh
: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the.3dsx
)[appname].xml
: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)
A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.
The Homebrew Launcher will scan the SD card for all .3dsx
files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.

Installing[edit]
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the 3ds/
folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of 3ds/
, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
[appname].3dsx
: The executable.[appname].smdh
: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the.3dsx
)[appname].xml
: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)
A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.
The Homebrew Launcher will scan the SD card for all .3dsx
files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.
