Homebrew How to install legit CIA files 9.3-10.3

[Quantumcat]

Is there a fix for ACHHD I updated it from the Eshop and I get a power off console error screen?

I think you have to delete it and redownload from the eShop.

Alright, thanks pal, does Nintendo keep track of who didn't buy it because it suddenly just appears on someone's account lol

 

[Mr Chomp]

I think you can't access eshop.
I don't really see the point since you can install CIAs.
Playing online should work tho.

I never heard of that error... O.o

"out of resource" basically means that you do not have enough space for the game to install. "Resource" is the space on sd card.

FFS everytime there is a thread the past couple of days about anything other than downgrading, there's always someone saying why don't you just downgrade. Regardless of weather there's a chance of brick or not, some just simply don't want to downgrade. Every single thread that has nothing to do with downgrading is turning into a full on discussion about downgrading.

And this is why I don't feel bad for those who bricked as they only seen the CFW of downgrading capabilities without considering the risks. And for those who knew they couldn't afford another console if it hard bricked it makes me wonder why would they risk it. And this is coming from someone who actually did a downgrade of a New 3DS but I waited for a reputable person to release a mod of sysupdater and that came when Steveice10 released his version. So just got to weigh the risks and not only the rewards of CFW.

 

[Mr Chomp]

why is this thread not locked cause you can downgrade and run any cia you want you can only use this for piracy

What about the people who own the games in a cartridge but want them digitally too?

Nope, as far as I know they don't keep track.

Because downgrading is better?
10.3 users can downgrade now so this version of FBI is pretty much useless.
Why get only a bit of chocolate when you can get it all? :3

Had tons of issues getting this to work with any consistency, extensive testing has yielded this method that works 100% of the time for me with N3DS on 10.3:

1. Boot 3DS normally
2. Run a normal game (so far I've used Smash and Badge Arcade)
3. Turn off 3DS entirely
4. Boot into Menuhax
5. Start and exit Ironhax Installer
6. Run FBI

For some reason if I boot straight to Menuhax without first running and shutting down from a normal game, it freezes at various points in FBI's startup, the few times it gets to done it just hangs there unresponsive.

Hope this helps some people who keep trying and trying and trying with legit CIA.

Or just use the eject trick. A few people reported that it doesn't work but they probably did it wrong. If it works for a few people (including me), it should work for everyone else.

Yeah, I had no luck with eject trick, may have been doing it wrong.

It's also about the timing, you know.
You should keep trying.

I'm back guys, with a New 3DS XL after mine breaking the other day ~ Even though I got 2 CIAS to install on 2nd try last time, I can't even get to the selection screen now xD
I've only managed once and every time I installed it always failed at 99% twice, what am I doing wrong? lol

 

[Gavrjel]

If you need some experiences, mine was extremely positive. After installing the homemenu hax to my girlfriend's o3ds with 9.8, FBI started at the third try and... Legit cia of Alpha Sapphire get installed at the very first try. For an unstable version of FBI, my personal experience was pretty good instead. When FBI didn't started the first two times I tried with the ftpbrony method (pulling out the cartridge) and it worked. Hope this can help in some way.

Just did with a friend and he got fbi on the first try, already installed Dream Team.

I hate him so much.

Hehe, I feel ya.cx

What does "legit" means in this case? You always have to download them over the internet so it's piracy anyway ... or not?
What's the difference between the games listed above and for example a Kingdom Hearts 3D .cia?
Hope you understand what i'm try to asking

Not works in a Old 3DS with 10.3. I tried several times and I've only seen the error of Map Complete or Cleaning Up.

So im guessing nintendo has no idea how to find out were using these CIA's?
Im temped to load these on my N3DS and ditch my old XL, tho i have loads of official games and slightly paranoid ill be banned.

Going from the N3DS back to the XL was awful. Glad i replaced it.

They are legit because they came pre-installed on a console (bundles).
They have Nintendo's signature on them so people can dump them.

You won't be banned but this version is unstable so it will be a little bit hard to run it on N3DS.

Dunno, but I remember when Club Nintendo about to close, they gave so many games and some people are abusing certain method that gives coins for free to trade for the games. Then some people reported that Nintendo silently delete games that people got in fraud way.

To be safe, I should turn off my wifi for some time, I was partaking those CN fiasco too so I was turned my wifi off until it was safe.
