Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[Ryccardo]

CIAs always install to their intended location. games and stuff always install to SD card, DSiware and system titles install to NAND(if you try to force install to SD card, they won't work).

To be fair, it usually gets devapps wrong!

I've found this at https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/b...a/source/ui/section/action/installcias.c#L125 :
"FS_MediaType dest = ((titleId >> 32) & 0x8010) != 0 ? MEDIATYPE_NAND : MEDIATYPE_SD;"

Without thinking too much over it, it appears to be choosing blindly depending on titleid-high; this fails to account for the convention where regular (00040000) apps are supposed to install to nand if their tid-low ends with a nonzero byte

Wink wink @Steveice10 :3

that's not really the fault of FBI I think. it's the title ID of some devapps that are wrong, so they install to SD instead.

Nope, they're the official title ids (check out with Test Menu, the only thing it'll recognize as devmenu is a nand-installed 00040000-0ff40002)

what version are you using? if it's 2.3.0 or below you need to update just once through other means like QR code or installing the newer CIA.

 

[Gow supremo]

I have a v2.3.0

Good catch, thanks for pointing that out.

Why can I not get this to work? I want to install FE: Fates DLC and honestly I don't understand the instructions at all but I figured I could at least install the goddamn cia even if it doesn't work, but I can't. Once I hit Punch FBI immediately says '' Install files? '', to which I press A, then it immediately says Install finished. How can the 260mb file be received and installed in a matter of seconds? Well it can't, because it didn't, and Socketpunch even says: [26/7/2016 21:15 PM] - Failed at 0.00mb of 260.12mb @ 0.00%

cant make it to boot (3dsx) on luma sysNAND 11.0 via HBLlauncher (gridlauncher b136). :-(

if you're using custom firmware, you should be using the CIA version instead. you can temporarily inject into H&S if you need to.

Download the .CIA from the 3DSxxxx sites. An I the only one that wants to install directly from .CIA and not QR code?

Sent from my Nexus 4

For small items like homebrew it is faster to just scan QR, but for larger items (like actual games) it's much faster for me to just download a CIA, or much more convenient to use freeShop instead of searching for a QR.

I'm probably late, but it isn't possible to install NAND apps with 2.0+.

Tried to multiple apps on three different systems... DevMenu, and various DSiWare. My CIAs are good since FBI 1.4.7 installed them just fine.

You can install them on 2.0, but they
1) install to SD
2) give an instant error upon launch.

Yep, just 2-3 posts ago I discussed the problem, and later that day Steve made a patch (which simply hasn't appeared in any official version yet)

I personally would have done it in a slightly different way as this looks too aggressive (it would also match dlc/demo with variant #2 while still not accounting for variants 1/3... but hey I haven't seen it in action either

is there a way for me to use fbi with browser hax on 11.0?!

No.

 

[Daytin13]

No.

can I use oothax?!

 

[KunoichiZ]

You can use oothax but you cannot use FBI.

 

[Daytin13]

You can use oothax but you cannot use FBI.

so I have to use it with cubic ninja or do I have to use 10.3 down?!

 

[I pwned U!]

The entrypoint does not matter. You can only use FBI with NATIVE_FIRM 10.7 or lower.

 

[KunoichiZ]

You have to get a hardmod or use the Fieldrunners exploit in order to use FBI. You cannot use FBI on 11.0 regardless of the entrypoint.
