Homebrew [How To]Install Legit CIA on N3DS using Fasthax and FBI

[FliP0x]

Disclaimer: This isn't rocket science and I did not discover this. Credit whoever discovered this first here on gbatemp. I am simply writing this more as a notification that it is possible to install Legit CIAs without waiting for the officially compiled Fasthax Beta and a new FBI coded to work with Fasthax, because I did not hear about it until now.

You will need:
- a NEW 3DS running 11.2.0 (-35E and -35U confirmed working)
- the files attached below
- Soundhax (search on gbatemp or google it)

1. Copy the files to the "3ds" folder on your SD card (/root/3ds)
2. Enter Homebrew Launcher using Soundhax and find FBI
3. /!\ This might take a few tries /!\ Run FBI until it loads, it might get stuck during an attempt or give you a message that fasthax failed. Just reboot and try again.
4. Select a Legit CIA (haven't tried illegal CIAs, but it shouldn't work) and install.

Proof:

My 3DS Version:

Proof that the game was freshly installed and didn't come pre-installed:

Last, proof that the game is working:

It's probably a better idea to just wait till you can run the normal version of FBI when fasthax/safehax are fully implemented. Then you can install any cia.

Is this n3ds only?

 

[Blaine20]

Man! The Nintendo 3DS is getting beaten up! This is awesome for people who were unfortunate to be on 11.x. Great work! (for the people who made this possible, not the OP (he just made the tutorial :/ (even then thats cool)))
