Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[SirByte]

Thanks @Steveice10 for supporting seeds, this is something that I've been looking forward to as it will future-proof .cia files in case (for whatever reason) you can't visit "the e-shop page" or in case that doesn't work anymore.

Question: what's the format for sdmc:/fbi/seed/(title id).dat

Is it just a binary file (e.g. copy the seed you obtain with PlaiCDN -info -seed query into HxD paste area and save) or is there more to it?

Edit: Looks like using the above was successful!

I'm on 2.2.4 now. Despite the update, downloading DLC from the CDN still gives the 0xd8a083fa error.

I have a performance issue: When I start a CIA installation, it starts relatively fast (a few MB/s), but then slows down to like 0.25MB/s. My setup is A9LH + Luma 5.5 and FBI 2.2.2, MicroSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra.

What could be the reason for the speed decrease during installation?

I came to post this problem also, i have never been able to download DLC from FBI since the release of CDN access.
New3ds, same error.
I have no problem from Ciangel.

DLC is extremely fickle. It's my understanding and my experience that there's still more to learn about DLC. So bear with it. DLC is still being figured out in some cases. Especially with the Eshop not removing DLC too.

Well we have many alternative so it itsn't really a problem, just that i saw so few people reporting the problem that makes me wonder if i was doing something wrong.
The QR code thing is really handy that's why i keep trying

FBI v2.2.5 has been released.

• Fix DLC installation from CDN.

Sorry for all the small releases in quick succession. Hoping this will be the last of those.

It's working ! thank you !
But you forgot to change the release version inside the app, it's still showing 2.2.4

Should be fixed. Had a minor mess-up when tagging the release.

How can I install the modified DevMenu_NAND.cia with FBI v2.x?
With the old FBI 1.x you could switch the destination to NAND, but I cant figure out how to do this on v2.x?

Rather have to update a bunch of times than have stuff be broken

FBI v2.2.6 has been released.

• Add built-in updater to the main menu.
• Append protocol to the beginning of QR code URLs if missing.
• Improve display of URL in QR code installation errors.

Since I'm apparently incapable of spacing out releases properly (<_<), hopefully this will make things easier.

Wow, I did not know this program has been updated so much !!

* mine is still black and white *

I notice that it is now white and blue from the pictures in the OP...does it look any different for v2.2.6 ?

hey uhm, so i installed a bunch of VC roms and I didn't know that there is a limit of 300.
It doesn't show my previously installed games anymore. Is there an easy way to make them visible/playable again?

Can you add a feature to sort titles alphanumeric, or at least give a option to sort by title, titleid, etc? It is very annoying looking for title to delete.

Why not delete it from the System Settings? It's quicker and easier.

I have like 25 pages worth of titles, and it takes more then 30 secs to load. Also its not sorted there either. Its harder to find the title in software management then in FBI.

Ah. I don't have too many games on my system, so I don't have that problem. It'd be a nice feature I guess.

Can the built in updater update the injected FBI? Or does it have to be installed as a cia for it to update?

It cannot. The updater would just install the standalone version, if an update was available.
