Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[daxtsu]

Out of curiosity, does FBI install CIAs any faster with the New 3DS L2 cache and 804Mhz "mode" enabled?

Question. I'm suddenly getting an error of Description: DESCRIPTION_ACCESS_DENIED (0x6) every time I try to install a CIA. I boot up my Cakesfw, and start up FBI through Ninjhax 1.1b, and just get that error when trying to install a CIA file. Same with RxTools. PastaCFW however, acts like it installs just fine. But nothing appears on the home menu to launch. Any ideas?

I noticed FBI as homebrew. I could install unsigned cias onto 10.1 sysnand with this?

No, you can't. we dont have am:net service access for homebrew on 9.3+, needed for FBI to work. Also, you need a way to patch signature checks with a arm9 exploit we dont have on 9.3+ for unsigned CIAs

The homemenuhax relies on changing the theme which is located on your SD Card, so it doesn't have kernel access. It only has userland access.

That has nothing to do with the fact that it uses themes. In fact, it is possible to use ThemeHax to launch CFW and everything that needs an ARM9 kernel access. All entrypoints used to launch the Homebrew Launcher are userland. Even NinjHax 1. The only different thing is that a kernel exploit has been found for 9.2 or less and it can be used from userland.

Right, but they were asking if homemenuhax had access to install cias without libkhax, which is not possible.

I read that it's a firmware.bin problem (I need to use 9.2 version instead of 9.5). Problem solved starting Reinand instead of CakesFW

i had this problem too installed fail so i have to change from cakes to reinand right?
Please help im stuck with this for 10hours in front of my computer or anyone please help me TT

Where can I change the buffer size of FBI?

is it possible to install BBM like this ? HomemenuHAX(sysnand) > HomebrewLauncher > Rxtools(emunand unlinked) > BrowserHax > HomebrewLauncher > FBI > Install BigBluemenu on emunand ?
and of course on a New3ds...

This is what Steveice said when i asked a similar question:

In most emuNANDs, FBI won't work via Ninjhax as it can't acquire necessary permissions through kernel hax.

This shit is incredible!

A couple of small suggestions:

1. Allow FBI to skip CIAs that have already been installed. Currently, if you select "Install all CIAs" with one cia in the directory that's already been installed it will tell you something's already installed and if you press "cancel" it stops the whole queue.

2. Similar to above, when using sockfile (in my case socket punch) FBI will ask if you want to download something over the network everytime a new file is being sent from a list. The suggestion would be to allow it to do its thing to allow overnight CIA installing.

Great work on this, man; it's very well done.

This feature already exists. Try reading what's on screen next time

How would I go about installing split CIAs?

What on earth is a split cia.

 

[Drak0rex]

I have a few large games that are at or just over 4GB, so when they were converted into CIA, they were split in 2. I believe it happens when Gateway dumps them.

4GB .3ds files need to be split to work on gateway (in fat32 mode)
You should merge the .3ds into one 4GB file before converting to a cia.
No cia is over 4GB so no need to split it. (it's trimmed by default)

Use simple cia converter by riku.

Exactly. All it's necessary to check it's not a .cia is looking at the file extension. If it doesn't say "*.cia" it's obviously not a CIA file. And CIA files can't be divided in any case. Only happens with .3ds roms dumped by Gateway.

So i'm kind of in a bind i'm not a fan of CFW besides pasta CFW and want to install CIA's with it FBI but apparently I can't even if I run pasta the go back to Ninjhax 1.1b and then run FBI. I can launch pasta with cubic Ninja but when I try to install gateway I get >>FAILED: 0000005 C86044CD not sure what to do
