Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[Mollycule]

Hello, having trouble installing anything other than 3ds CIAs, getting the invalid ticket error...

I have:
Old 3ds
EmuNand 10.3
SysNand 9.2

I was trying to install bigbluemenu through FBI injected H&S app.

As I say, I have been able to install commercial 3ds games (yes I own hard copies too) even re packs and rom hacks...

It seems only homebrew fails to install, why? I don't know.

I'm on 10.3 emuNAND and I have a 9.2 sysNAND. If I install the cia of FBI and the homebrew launcher (it has a cia right?) to my emuNAND then even once 10.4 comes out I should be able to update my emuNAND and still have access to FBI and the homebrew launcher, right? I wouldn't even need ironhax or ninjhax or any other entrypoints?

Also, in order to get the eshop/NNID working, after updating emuNAND to 10.3 and fooling around with it for a while, I backed my Nintendo 3DS folder, made an emuNAND backup, formatted emuNAND, signed into NNID, then restored all my backups. If I were to delete games purchased from the eshop on my emuNAND, would I still be able to redownload them or are the games no longer linked to my system? I suppose it doesn't matter much if I lose them due to being able to install CIAs, but it feels good to be legit when possible.

As long as emuNAND is able to be run, yes you'll have ability to install and run unsigned CIAs on it

Alright, thanks.

I've managed to install FBI.cia in my h&s with the emunand, but I'm still trying to get the same error when attempting to install a .cia game, tried with multiple games.

Install failed!

What could be wrong?

Does your SD card has enough space?
One guy had the same problem and he had 200 mb on his SD card. o.o

It got around 27GB left, I did a full clean format before installing CFW after I downgraded to 9.2

I'm having a similar issue after formatting my emuNAND in the System Menu to unlink my NNID. FBI works just fine in sysNAND in pasta mode.

What am I doing wrong? Tried to install FBI.cia over H&S but getting a "Missing Info" error, and then running FBI CIA installer through HBL is also failing. N3DS, EmuNAND9 v9.2

 

[VictorZechs]

its possible or not to instal .cia in 9.2? there is only FBI to install .cia?

Ok, I either had bad files or it was a firmware issue since it seems some games require a higher firmware? I just managed to install a couple games and play them.

I am out of ideas. Friend of mine who got it to work on his o3ds is in uncharted territory.

Updated FAQ.

Oh I see now, since I updated emuNAND to 9.5.0-23 the .3dsx version is useless and it only worked after the update because I was using a .CIA version I previously installed.

See, I DIDN'T update my emuNAND. I'm still at 9.2; so it should work for me, theoretically, no?

Not sure what that error is, unfortunately. :/

On 9.2 N3DS (reformatted system and sd card), trying to launch using menuhax but keeps getting stuck on yellow screen on bottom. Tried the last two releases available on Github. Any ideas what may be the problem?

Only time that ever happened to me is if I accidentally clicked a button or touched the bottom screen while it was booting up.

That doesn't seem to be the problem. I did install some .cia files before formatting and the weird thing is I get some white square icon showing on the main menu when booting up for two seconds and then disappears. I'm wondering if there's something still on the system that wasn't erased when formatting that may be causing the problem?

EDIT: Fixed it by "downgrading" for 9.2 using sysupdater. Apparently had to install a few update files.

When are you going to release a more stable version of fbi for 10.3? Any eta?
