##How to Dump Titles Installed to a 3DS System
There are two methods to dump installed titles to run in Citra. Detailed instructions are below for using either method, but in quick summary, the first method involves using [Decrypt9WIP](https://github.com/d0k3/Decrypt9WIP) on a 3DS with a system version below 9.2 or with [arm9loaderhax](https://plailect.github.io/Guide/) installed. This is the recommended method, but there is another way to dump games and applications using [braindump](https://gbatemp.net/threads/braindump-userland-game-dumping.407332/). Braindump is easy to set up, user-friendly, and compatible with newer system versions, but is also lossy and less reliable so it doesn't always work.

#### Note on DLC and updates
At this time, Citra does not emulate the 3DS's functions for checking for updates and DLC. While dumping this information can be done by following these instructions, Citra can't actually use it yet. See [this discussion topic](https://discuss.citra-emu.org/d/527-smash-bros-update) for more details.

### Method 2: braindump
Any system with [Homebrew Launcher](http://smealum.github.io/3ds/) access can use braindump to dump installed applications. This method is much simpler and more user-friendly than the previous method, but comes with two caveats:
1. Digitally installed games that were released after the introduction of system version 9.6 cannot be dumped using braindump.
2. Braindump can't access all of the game's information, so it generates fake metadata. That is usually good enough for Citra, [__but not always__](https://github.com/neobrain/braindump/issues/24). If you find the game from braindump doesn't work (while others can play it), or you need a lossless dump for better compatibility, please use Decrypt9WIP instead.
#### Required tools
- [braindump](https://gbatemp.net/threads/braindump-userland-game-dumping.407332/)
- 3DS system with access to [the Homebrew Launcher](https://smealum.github.io/3ds/)
- SD card with enough space to dump the game card, 8GB or higher recommended
- SD card reader (preferred), or a way to use wireless file transfer
#### Instructions
1. Set up braindump by extracting the `braindump` folder to the `3ds` folder at the root of your 3DS SD card.
2. Enter the Homebrew Launcher using one of the various exploits.
3. Choose braindump, then select the game you want to dump.
4. Wait for the process to finish.
5. Your game will be at the root of the SD card and is immediately usable with Citra.
### ~~Method 2: braindump~~
(This method is temporary removed because it has caused too many bad game dumps. This will be back when it is fixed. For now please use the Decrypt9WIP method)
