CTGP-7 Installation Instructions
Installation methods:
Before starting, you will have to download CTGP-7.zip, this file can be found
searching in google.
• CFW method (recommended)
CFW method is the newest, most recommended method to play CTGP-7. However, it
requires Luma CFW v9.0 or greater and sysnand/emunand to be on 11.4 or greater. It
has an automatic updater as well as an in-game plugin capable of adding extra features
to the game such a speed modifier, speedometer, backwards camera, etc. It is very
easy to install and only requires installing a cia (automatic, requires internet on the
3ds) or copying folders (manual, doesn’t require internet on the 3ds).
- Automatic install:
1) Extract the SD from your 3DS and connect it to the computer. You can also use
MicroSD Management or an FTP client if you wish.
2) Copy the CTGP-7.zip file to the root of your SD card (the root means it should
not be inside any other folder, in the same directory where boot.firm is). DO
NOT EXTRACT THE FILE, ONLY COPY IT.
3) Go to FBI, select remote install and then QR code. You should see something
like this:
4) At this point you can choose if you want to use the cia or just the 3dsx
homebrew app:
a. Cia: This installs to your home menu and shows up like another app.
You will be able to launch the mod directly from the home menu.
b. 3dsx: This can be launched from the Rosalina homebrew launcher. It
doesn’t require the installation of any kind of cia files.
5) Once you have chosen which version to install, scan one of the following QR
codes:
cia version 3dsx version
6) After the app has been installed, you will find it on your home menu (cia) or in
the homebrew launcher (3dsx).
7) After opening the CTGP-7 app, the installer will tell you that the mod files are
missing, and they will be installed from the CTGP-7.zip file. After the installation
has finished the app will reboot and you will be able to play the mod.
8) (Optional) You can now remove the CTGP-7.zip file from your SD to free space
as it won’t be needed anymore.
- Manual install:
1) Extract the SD from your 3DS and connect it to the computer. You can also use
MicroSD Management or an FTP client if you wish.
2) Go to the files folder in the CTGP-7.zip file, it will look something like this:
3) Drag and drop the three folders (3ds, cias, CTGP-7) to your SD card root (the
root means they should not be inside any other folder, in the same directory
where boot.firm is). If there is already a CTGP-7 folder in your SD, delete it. If
there are already a 3ds or cias folders do not remove them, just merge the
folders:
4) At this point you can choose if you want to use the cia or just the 3dsx
homebrew app:
a. Cia: This installs to your home menu and shows up like another app.
You will be able to launch the mod directly from the home menu.
b. 3dsx: This can be launched from the Rosalina homebrew launcher. It
doesn’t require the installation of any kind of cia files.
5) If you have chosen to use the 3dsx homebrew app only, skip to step 6). To
install the cia file go to the cia installer app FBI in your home menu. Go to SD,
cias folder, select CTGP-7.cia and chose Install CIA. After it finishes you can
return to the home menu and the CTGP-7 will be inside a gift.
6) Now you can launch the mod by opening the home menu app (cia) or by going
to the homebrew launcher and choosing the CTGP-7 app (3dsx).
• Uninstalling CFW method:
To uninstall the mod having used the CFW method, go to FBI, then Titles, from the list
select CTGP-7 and choose delete title.
After that, you can delete the CTGP-7 folder on your SD card as well as the CTGP-7
folder inside the 3ds folder if it exists.
• HANS method (outdated non-recommended):
HANS method can be installed without CFW and only an userland exploit such as
ninjhax, soundhax, etc. It doesn’t have any extra features CFW method has such as the
speed modifier or the speedometer, it neither has an auto updater (new versions of
the mod must be installed manually). With CFW and Rosalina (new versions of Luma
3DS) this method doesn’t work at all. (NOTE: Since this method is outdated and should
not be used, instructions will be less detailed than CFW method.)
1) Make sure your Mario Kart 7 cartridge is inserted in your 3ds or that you have
Mario Kart 7 installed as a digital copy.
2) Get the latest homebrew starter pack and copy the contents of the zip to your
SD root.
3) Download braindump and copy the braindump folder inside the 3ds folder of
your SD.
4) Insert the SD card into your 3ds and go to the homebrew launcher. Select
braindump and choose Mario Kart 7 as the target title.
5) Braindump will launch and start dumping the game. Wait until it finishes
dumping (it may look like it gets stuck sometimes, be patient. If it is stuck for
more than 10 minutes, reboot and try again) and shut down the 3ds.
6) Copy the 0004000000030X00.cxi file in your SD card to the same place as the
Build_CTGP-7.bat file. Rename the cxi file to MK7.cxi
7) Execute the Build_CTGP-7.bat file and follow the instructions there. When it
finishes it should create an output folder in the same directory.
8) Copy all the folders inside the output folder to the SD card root.
9) Go to the homebrew launcher and select the CTGP-7 app. This will (hopefully)
boot into CTGP-7. If it gets stuck, reboot and try again.
• Uninstalling HANS method:
To uninstall HANS method delete the hans folder in your SD card as well as the files
ctgp-7.smdh and ctgp-7.xml inside the 3ds folder.
