Homebrew Can't install Pokemon Sun *legit* cia

[Guci3]

1. Make sure the SD card isn't in the lock position and try again.
2. Reformat the SD card and try again.
3. Test the SD with H2testw.

Do what @Lacius instructed. Copy everything off the card, reformat in FAT32 + 32 KB cluster size, and full Write + Verify the empty card.

Failure to install the CIA due to failed hash check almost certainly means either fake SD card or bad CIA dump.

Still i don't think there is something with the card because other games installed with no problems.

Read the failing water bucket analogy.

I don't have windows so i can't i install h2testw

I don't have windows so i can't i install h2testw

Then follow https://3ds.guide/f3x-(mac) instead. The H2testw guide links there.

Have you checked the CIA file?
When the file says it's "Legit" it doesn't have to be...

Just realized that this file was in the folder with the cia

That looks like a DAT file for offline seed importing on FBI.

Did you check your SD card with F3X?

That exact error also pops up when trying to install a personalized legit CIA on a different console. Best is to not dump personalized legit CIAs – choose standard instead.

CIA checker tool in GodMode9 stated “Personal Legit CIA File” and gave me a console ID (part of KeyY) on a legit CIA I created from a paid eShop game (Pokemon Kristall) while the " Universal Legit CIA File" Mario Kart 7 (preinstalled on my N2DSXL) had all zeros.

→ Please check the CIA file in question with GodMode9 (no need to run the full verification for getting that information)

It's either a bad dump or what Kleines said right above, the error for bad SD cards is different, so why is everyone suggesting SD card checks as the first thing instead of checking the validity of the CIA first? It's far more common for a bad dump to exist online than TWO SD cards suddenly both having issues with only this one game after all:/

My gut instinct is to always assume someone's SD card is bad. If I'm wrong, then at least whoever it is that checked their card can rest assure their data is safe and sound.

However slim this possibility may be, there's an off chance @Guci3's two SD cards happened to be bought from the same time and seller of fake cards. Maybe the Pokemon CIA could be a good dump turned corrupted when transferring it over from computer to card. One may not notice anything funny transferring small files.

4 out of 4 failed install attempts. Yay, at this rate, it's definitely bad dump. Verify the file in GodMode9 like what KleineSinchen did.

Whenever buying new flash products, always test them out with [ H2testw / F3X / F3 ].

He who deals with fake SD cards might take care lest he thereby start thinking they are all fake. For if you gaze for long onto a fake SD card, the SD card gazes also into you. /s

In all seriousness, fake SD cards don't give that error message to begin with, so it couldn't have been it. There's a reason why FBI has more than one error messages, each is meant for different problems, with this specific error being 99% a bad, corrupted or system-specific dump with the other 1% being a modified file without properly being edited.

OP, just find another CIA and try that one.

Yeah ,well i didn t find a legit cia on any other site.probably nintendo took them down.

"Legit" CIA means it can be installed on non-CFW 3DS systems with FW up to 11.2, nothing more. If you have CFW, you can use ANY CIA, not just legit ones.

You don't need a legit CIA of Pokemon Sun. A standard one will install just fine, and be way less trouble. They're also not hard to find.
