Users are legally required to dump these keys from their own Nintendo 3DS hardware. They are protected by copyright and cannot be legally distributed online. Requirement : A 3DS console running custom firmware (CFW) with installed. Download a dedicated dumping script (e.g., dumpkeys.gm9 ) and place it in the /gm9/scripts folder on your console's SD card. Launch GodMode9 on the 3DS, run the script from the menu, and wait for it to finish. The generated aes_keys.txt will be located in the folder of your SD card. Installation and Directory Paths The file must be placed in the citra aes keystxt top
