Can't FBI install a newer version over itself while in use? If not, how do people normally go about upgrading to the latest version of FBI? Through HBL?

I use FBI 1.4.17 injected into the H&S app to install newer versions of FBI. I hope the speed difference can be figured out. No idea why 2.x is slower for some.

@Steveice10 would it be possible for you to add in this program detailed ticket information? I've got a lot of tickets that I need to get rid of and a couple of others experimenting with TIKdevil are in the same boat lol.

If you mean actual title info like the name, icon, etc., I can't get those from the ticket itself. I've toyed with pulling the information from Nintendo's eShop servers, but it was way too slow, and I'm not too sure I want to be using a hardcoded list of title metadata that would need constant updating.

That's understandable, but would just showing the name and region make it any simpler? I'm just having trouble telling eShop tickets from homebrew and developer/system tickets and I don't want to accidentally delete the wrong one while I'm sifting through it.
Would you maybe be able to add in a feature to select multiple files and delete/copy/cut the selected files? Sorry, I don't mean to ask too much of you lol

I use FBI 2.1.1 and when I install big CIA (above 500MB) FBI would freeze when the progress bar is around 2/3. Anyway to fix it? And yes sometimes I waited long enough then hold the power button to reset it then the new game is there on the home menu for me to unwrap but then it is pretty troublesome. Anyway to fix it?

ah yes sorry I mistook the 2.2.1 with 2.1.1. I'm using 2.2.1 and the problem is pretty consistent with big CIAs.

how about looking at the titleID of the ticket, getting the info from an installed title, if there is any. atleast then you can probably locate a title based on if it's installed or not (it would show title ID instead of game name..?)

also when removing a ticket it should prompt you to uninstall the title, or vice-versa maybe. that way you don't have to go remembering a titleID and go through both menus when you wanna keep stuff clean/change a region for a title or something.

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.

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.

  • 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

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

    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

    It's always worth a shot
