the game i just installed was over 3gb and it installed fine. are you sure you have enough free space on your sd card? when installing a cia off the sd card you need 2x the space so say the game is 2gb you would need 4gb of space.

Yes the mSD had enough free space. It just froze both the top and bottom screen. I usually select to install CIA and set it aside while watching some videos or browsing and take a look from time to time. But then it just froze there (the time on the top screen show the last time it was working). Sometimes it is 2/3 or sometimes even less at 1/4 progress.

Before when I used Menuhax+Reinand/GW I only use BBM so I don't have much experience with FBI. I only started using FBI recently because I have it injected into H&S app when doing A9LH.

have you tried any other game or is it just the same one you keep trying?
Click to expand...

A lot of big CIA, like New Love Plus Plus (1.6gb), Tales of the World (~900MB), Style Savvy (2 games, around 1GB each) etc. Game that is small or around 500MB work okay though. Really strange.

And it froze when using FBI injected in H&S app more than using FBI CIA installed. New Love Plus Plus froze like 5 times in rows when I use FBI injected, and it install successfully in 2 tries when using FBI app.

Can I install DLC's via latest FBI, I read in some posts that open-source cia installers had problems installing DLC's, Themes etc.... because they had 3 or more something ????
I am asking this because I had read somewhere ( in the SOON 2 Thread, I think) that latest versions of FBI could install DLC's and themes.

I want to install smash DLC from that ISO site and did not want to use BBM for it (cause I don't trust it)

Off Topic :- Do I need to install the relevation dlc if I already have FE Fates special edition

P.S :- Pls don't call me a pirate cause I am poor, besides I also have many legit games.

Can someone pls clarify this.....
Have anyone of you tried installing DLC's via FBI
Does it throw some kind of error
I am going to try to install smash DLC with FBI to see if it works, if it doesn't I can always delete the DLC via TitleID deletion from FBI right :unsure:

Will it be possible to download files from CDN without installing them right away in one of the next updates? Like, to keep the CIA files and install them manually, kinda like CIAngel?

Okay So the DLC installed successfully -> verified due to the fact that I got a gazillion notification when I started up smash about getting this thing that thing etc..... blah blah blah....
But none of the characters and stages are present in smash fight menu, this worries me, but I am thinking they can only be unlocked after you have beaten them in "a new challenger approaches"
Any way the DLC shows up in system data management and this gives me hope.
Will post more updates after playing smash marathon too report if see one DLC character unlocked.
Overall I think FBI did install the DLC correctly. If someone knows anyway to check this Pls let me know. :)

DLC characters and stages should appear on the select menu right away.

This is strange, do I need to scroll by pressing any button on select screen, my current select screen is full

No, Bayonetta, Corrin etc. should just be added to the character select screen automatically and should be visible as soon as you open the character selection, no scrolling or anything. Try installing the DLC using BigBlueMenu and see how it's supposed to be.

If he's unlocked all the characters he'll have to press the arrow in the bottom right

If you have all the characters it overflows into another menu (at least on o3ds non xl, haven't tested n3ds or any XL)

I have an original old 3DS, every singe fighter was on one screen, no arrows, no scrolling.

Oh :( shit

So FBI didn't manage to do it after all or is my DLC.cia fake, it was just 3.1 MB
Any way guess I will have to use bbm sigh...

The DLC file is supposed to be small, the actual textures and models are contained in the game update. The DLC file just allows you to access them

Well then off to the ISO site, which is better though BBM/Title Manager.
Also do you recommend the version which installs to NAND or the one which installs to SD

This is honestly the first time I've seen that. There was no such thing for me, maybe the European version doesn't have that? Just a wild guess, I have no idea what's going on.

And the whole screen was different compared to mine, LOL :)
Anyways do I need to uninstall the DLC via system settings or will the reinstall overwrite the existing files :unsure:

    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.

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • 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)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
