First you need CFW, follow this.
After you install a cia you can delete it or you can use ftp to access the sd wirelessly
I already have a CFW, It's just every file over around 300MB that I try to move to my 3ds gives an error so I can't find something useful for me that allows installing backups "on the fly", so when I saw this I thouhgt could be my solution but there's the problem that many people report of corrupts SD using this and on the other hand they haven't all possibilities of backups as .cia format has... Maybe this is not what I've been looking for =/

You can use freeshop or CIAngel to install games directly from the console

hey, I've been using freeshop just fine till the other day and now every time I try to install a game it gives me an error. my sd card isn't full and I have enough room for the games. usually, I'd try to look around different threads for the answer but cant seem to find anything. the error code is 0xC960454B.

Is this legal?
NO its piracy.
Actually it's completely legal. freeShop falls under the same laws are torrent downloaders. Basically torrent downloaders do not violate any actual laws as they do not directly endorse nor condone illegal piracy. In fact this is the direction of freeShop
Open source eShop alternative for the Nintendo 3DS. Allows you to browse and install titles you own (i.e. titles for which you have the titlekey).
Note the "install titles you own" in other words, this is suppose to be used with your titlekeys. This is not telling you to pirate games and in no form endorsing piracy.
If you choose to pirate using this program, you are the one choosing to pirate. Not freeShop, you.

If freeShop was illegal, GBATemp would have removed it. As it does not actually provide keys nor endorse the use of illegal keys. It does not violate any laws nor rules of the Temp.

Most people are going to use it for piracy though its a tool that allows you to pirate. And That title key site is easy to find. App it's selfs not illegal but it allows illegal content to be downloaded.

That's their choice to do so, that doesn't make freeShop illegal. freeShop does not endorse piracy, does note provide titlekeys nor links to these keys, and it doesn't say it can be used for piracy. freeShop is an open-source alternative to eShop intended on downloading your titlekeys.
Just because something can be used for piracy, doesn't make it illegal. With your argument, I can say that web browsers are illegal because they can be used for piracy.

I said the apps not illegal but most people are going to use it to pirate. If you legit bought the game you can just redownload it though the real e-shop if its digital or dump it if its a hard copy and dumping the game may be faster depending on your internet speed. I admit i do use the app for piracy but only to try out bad games.

Hmm, that might be it, as I ended up going with a 128 gig SD card and was injecting a lot of games in for SNES and GBA. Ah well, I can still launch via FBI so not a major issue.
on a side note it may bean issue with tickets (ive had the same problem using fbi and running tikshop and rebooting fixed it) so idk try it?

actually theyre illegally accessing nintendoes servers, least thats one of nintendos reasons. circumventing security and stuff like that. even modifying the console and installing illegitimate software is against it so eh.

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