Required Reading

This is an add-on section for installing an 11.15.0 CTRTransfer image to your device.

Note that if you have any payload files other than GodMode9.firm in the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card, holding (Start) on boot will display a “chainloader menu” where you will have to use the D-Pad and the (A) button to select “GodMode9” for these instructions.

You MUST have already installed Luma3DS and boot9strap to use this.

Performing a CTRTransfer may break extended memory mode games (Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, Pokemon Sun/Moon) on Old 3DS/2DS devices. If this occurs, you will need to format the device (using TinyFormat or System Settings) to fix the issue.

What You Need

To use the magnet links on this page, you will need a torrent client like qBittorrent or Deluge.
