Installing on Citra (Release) - Ich73/DQMT-FanTranslation GitHub Wiki

[!IMPORTANT] These instructions show you how to install a Release on Citra.
Alternatively you can use a LayeredFS Patch on Citra by following Installing on Citra (LayeredFS).

Prerequisites

You need:

• a 3DS with CFW (see 3DS Hacks Guide)
• the 3DS emulator Citra
• the patches from the Release you want to install
  • e.g. Patches-v1.0-EN.zip
• Game Patcher

Setup

[!NOTE] The setup is only required to do a single time. Once this is done you can skip to Patching for updating the game.

Dumping

First you need to obtain a .cia or .3ds file of the game from your original copy of the game: Dumping the Game (CIA) or Dumping the Game (3DS).

Workspace

Create a new folder and place the following in it:

• The .cia or .3ds file of the original game
• The patches for the original game (e.g. Patches-v1.0-EN.zip)
• GamePatcher.exe from the previously downloaded Game Patcher

Patching

To apply the downloaded patches to the dumped .cia/.3ds file(s) do the following:

• Run GamePatcher.exe
• Wait until the process is finished
• When asked to clean up you have three options:
  • n to preserve all folders and tools and therefore speed up the next execution
  • y to delete all the folders created in the current execution
  • all to delete all folders in the current directory as well as all the downloaded tools

Installing

The last step is to install the patched file(s) on Citra.

• Run Citra
• For CIA: Choose File > Install CIA... and select the .cia file of the patched game
• For 3DS: Choose File > Load File... and select the .3ds file of the patched game

You now have the translated game installed on Citra.
