Abstract: The CTR Importable Archive (CIA) format is used by Nintendo 3DS consoles to distribute and install games and applications.

This paper proposes a portable CIA to 3DS file converter, which can be used across different platforms. We discuss the CIA and 3DS file formats, outline the conversion process, and present a design for a portable converter.
