[Damian666]

woot, installed animal crossing, this really works

Does anyone have a link to the release post for this software (if it's not on a banned site), or possibly the dev's github if he has one? I'd like to know if he releases a more stable version based on a newer version of memchunkhax or FBI.

I suppose that OP @DutchyDutch would have it

You are so lucky. I can't find a damned Legit CIA anywhere, and if I do find one, I get a 404 or User Banned error...

OK, so here is my success rate with this method:

System: O3DS
sysNAND: 10.3.0-28E
Booted HBL with: menuhax 2.1
Homebrew version: Original Smea

FBI Successful Boot up number 1:
How many tries it took for FBI to launch successfully: 3 Tries
Games Installed: Super Mario 3D land [EUR]
Comments: Game tested, works properly

FBI Successful Boot up number 2:
How many tries it took for FBI to launch successfully: 7 Tries
Games Installed: None
Comments: FBI Launched fine, but none of the .cia's could be installed due to the same error.

FBI Successful Boot up number 3:
How many tries it took for FBI to launch successfully: 4 Tries
Games Installed: Pokemon X, Pokemon Omega Ruby
Comments: FBI was very laggy/choppy - reacted to only once per about 50 button inputs. Also, some glitched up text was present on the upper screen. However, both .cia's installed successfully this time. The games haven't been tested yet.

Was "the same error" in yours 2nd successful boot appearing immediately after you clicked "install"?

Hey, when you installed Pokemon X and Omega Ruby, did you ever exit the app or did you install them during the same session?

 

[andre111]

Can confirm it working with Ironhax on 10.3.
...
Just took me 139 tries to start successfully.

I'm assuming both exploits work the same. But menuhax is more convenient with this app's stupid probability of working.

They need to clean up the code on FBI installer

 

[Hyaritsu]

So I got FBI booted but when I go to install my .cias it gives me this the error in the picture, any idea what is causing that?

System: O3DS
sysNAND: 10.3.0-28E
Booted HBL with: browserhax? (I open HBL through either system settings exit hold L or QR code for the browser)
Homebrew version: (don't know where to find this)

Welcome to the club.

 

[Hyura]

I got an idea. It worked for me, so I want you all to try it.

1 - Boot into HBL.
2 - Boot ftbrony / FTP-3DS if you're anti-brony / some other homebrew if you're anti-FTP. I used ftbrony.
3 - Close it by pressing B twice.
4 - Go into it again.
5 - Exit again by doing the return-to-hbl combination (L + R + Down + B, iirc)
6 - Go into FBI

Ok, I couldn't resist and I tried it.
Installation worked perfectly.

- System: 3DS
- Sysnand: 10.1
- Booted HBL with: IronHax 2.5
- Homebrew Version: Original Smea
- How many tries before FBI worked: 1
- How many tries before Legit CIA installation worked: 1
- Did it work: Yes

Black screen after exiting FBI scared the hell out of me!

 

[wolfforthewin]

- System: O3DS
- Sysnand: 10.1
- Booted HBL with: MenuHax v2.1

Make sure you have enough space, you need twice as much as the CIA's file size.

This means you got the non-legit version.

 

[Tyson TH]

What the hell. It's started installing for a second. Then it randomly told me it failed. Stop getting me hyped up FBI.

 

[smileyhead]

Could someone send me a PM, so I can find a website where I don't get those "Vidzi 404s" and "MEGA User Banned's"?

 

[C02]

You are so lucky. I can't find a damned Legit CIA anywhere, and if I do find one, I get a 404 or User Banned error...

same i cant find a FEA cia
