Is this during install or download mode? What kind of 3DS do you have? What kind/class of SD card? How fast is your internet? How far are you from your router?

You have no other posts in this thread, and no details about the error in your post, so it's unlikely...
This is basically what happens:
i get a big game, and it says installing content 1/2 which is normal. It then gets to 2/2 and complete it, but throws out "error could not install cia". Smaller content downloads fine

There has to be more output than just that.

Also, are you sure you have enough space? Is your wifi stable? Are you able to install the CIA using other CDN-based means? What type of 3DS? What firmware version? What CFW version?

If freeShop, CIAngel, and FBI all fail it's an issue with your 3DS setup, not with the tools. Check that you aren't blocking CDN access (If it's downloading the full content, you probably aren't), maybe try backing up and formatting your SD card (Or try a different SD card). Otherwise, no idea how to fix it.

I'm not sure what to change though. smaller things such as updates install

Not the biggest deal, but is there a way to filter out non 3ds games?
For example I search for Mario and I come up with the gameboy version of super Mario land, some gba games, eshop ports ect.
I have most of those but remembering the title of Zelda a link between worlds as opposed to a link to the past especially when you can't see the whole title is a little frustrating.

Not that I can't grab my phone and google it...

It would also be cool just to be able to browse through 3ds games looking for gems that I may have missed.

Not running into this myself. I'd recommend deleting the wings.json file from the CIAngel folder, and re-downloading it within the app.

I just started to get this problem myself just now. Not looked into it yet but I applaud you for managing to capture a screen shop of the error as it goes so quickly on my N3DS lol

Edit: deleting the config file and wings.json file fixed the problem for me

Most likely caused by wings.json failing to download (Wifi drop, or server issue) and leading to a corrupt file.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
