Hacking aside from socketpunch, what other reasons are there for anyone to use FBI?

[reiyu]

seems that FBI doesn't install some .cias properly compared to BBM. is there any other reason i should keep using FBI?

never had a single issue with FBI installing cias, also it has a delete feature, so you ca delete titles from installed from sysnand which is useful

None and for those who say to downgrade system titles Dev Menu is better in that regard.

before trying socket punch, last time i ever use it when i was changing emunand region.

"works for me" is the least useful thing someone can say in computing

FBI/Big Red Menu don't work with some DLC I've tried, so I don't use them anymore.

Then your DLC is bad

I have heard about people having problems reinstalling dlcs with fbi, so they had to use bbm to be able to

Edit:
Lol, it was you, nvm

well this isnt computing we literally have the same hardware just 2 different variants so a list of *not working cias* should have been doable to make by now. (but we all know it comes down to a CIA issue not console)

But i dunno installing 64gb of A list titles that quite a few still get updates and successfully installing the DLC with no updates must be a thing right?

The only thing i have really had mixed reports with it installing is the DLC for MiiPlaza but that is a grey subject everyone has issues with it

I have heard about people having problems reinstalling dlcs with fbi, so they had to use bbm to be able to

Only issue i have seen with that is it fails to install after deleting the installed stuff then will keep failing, Restarting FBI fixes that

one reason why i shouldn't be using FBI

 

[James310]

one feature that bbm that fbi does is you can install things in nand or sd , i only use fbi to install gba games..

lol no. FBI is fine for installing DLC, it's once the eShop deletes that DLC. FBI will no longer reinstall that DLC. BBM/DevMenu will though.

As for the OP's question, I don't really know. I personally use FBI more than DevMenu/BBM. Only times I see myself using BBM is for reinstalling DLC that my eShop deleted.
After I found out SocketPunch existed, I fell in love with FBI even more! (1.5MBps for installing things is decent)

I never mentioned anything about the eShop

Kinda off-topic but any of these cia installer can see application name?

i mean i install some ftp app but it doesnt work then i want to delete it but i don't know what serial are they some of them are really obvious like CTR-XX"NTR" but this one i really can't find it ( microsd management )

according to 3dsbrew on of these is your MicroSD card management ID

20023100
20024100
20025100
microSD Management ('mcopy') (New_3DS-only)

I use this to compare http://www.3dsdb.com/ and yeah I would love to see actual app names in a CIA installer even if its just a local database file for reference.

Yeah, really helpful and not too hard to implement, I think

it only has a list of the ID's of System titles from official firmware, assuming that the microsd card management uses the same ID on the one you installed should work

It might just be Theatrhythm's bizarre, broken DLC system.

Or it might just be an issue with any game that has multiple DLC updates

hmm, I didn't have any issue installing Theatrhythm's DLC through FBI.
