[[3DS:New Super Ultimate Injector|New Super Ultimate Injector]] (NSUI) is a PC tool used to inject ROMs of various systems into a Virtual Console title. This allows you to launch ROMs that NSUI supports from the HOME Menu, opposed to launching them from an emulator interface.

New Super Ultimate Injector (NSUI) is a tool to inject ~~roms~~ of various ~~consoles~~ into a ~~virtual console~~ title. This allows you to launch ~~roms~~ that ~~nsui~~ supports from the ~~home menu~~.

{{info|At the moment, only Windows computers are supported. Linux (and possibly MacOS) users can attempt to install .NET using Winetricks with [https://gist.github.com/bmaupin/93d31e1b2d738ae656b9d3617e19622b this] guide.}}

==Troubleshooting==

'''Opening the VC inject gives a blank screen'''

The ROM you used is most likely corrupted. Ensure your ROM is working by testing it in another [[3DS:Emulators|emulator]]. If your ROM is confirmed to be working, try another injection method.

'''White "Exception Occurred" message and stack dump only on the bottom screen upon opening'''

You need [[3DS:LE|locale emulation]] if your console is of a different region than the VC inject you made.
