ROM Hack custom-install - Install CIAs to a Nintendo 3DS SD card entirely on PC

[DavidKang]

This is going to be even better for O3DS users.

As a simple minded "professional noob" I must ask is there any plans for a simpler gui based version?

Maybe at some point now that it's posted here. I'm not too familiar with gui libraries for Python so no estimations on when it will happen.

Wow! That's a complete game changer. Finally makes .cia installation bearable. Thanks a ton!

Please excuse me asking, but is something like that possible for Switch and .nsps?

Maybe, you'd have to ask someone that is more familiar with how Switch handles title installations.

this is awesome, but removing the SD from a new 3DS XL takes longer than installing it from FBI

Needed to open up my screen since the ribbon cable seems to be loose since opening the screen fully disables the screen but was being lazy and telling myself i would get to it. Thanks to this i will fix my 3ds today because i really need to test this

Does custom-install-finalize the same as faketik?

Given what's written in post 12, it appears to extract the ticket from the cia you supplied, so the result will be as legit as the source

Finally holy shit that took long enough.
I thought we'd have one within a month after all the keys were found.

better late than never...
thanks @ihaveamac
hope you can build a gui for this

 

[Sonansune]

thought we would never have this

my brain couldn't even think of something like this, brilliant work @ihaveamac

Can you explain how to use it for people that is not used to python neither to mess with command apps?

py -3 custom-install.py -b boot9.bin -m movable.sed --sd E:\ file.cia file2.cia
python3 custom-install.py -b boot9.bin -m movable.sed --sd /Volumes/GM9SD file.cia file2.cia
python3 custom-install.py -b boot9.bin -m movable.sed --sd /media/GM9SD file.cia file2.cia

I'm not sure I get it, if I want to install a CIA on my 3ds sd card and I have movable.sed and boot9.bin on C: drive , I have to use a command like this?:

py -3 custom-install.py -b C:\boot9.bin -m C:\movable.sed --sd E:\( I guess this is the root of the SD) C:\backups\file.cia(game1) c:\backups\file2.cia(game2)

is that correct? is there a way to install a large list of game backups without having to write all the game names? Something like a batch mode for example.

great to see the 3ds scene still lively

 

[ber71]

Can it install. 3ds files too?

.3ds files were never ment to be installed just ran from flashcards

 

[GameSystem]

Fantastic work. Won't help me any since I gave away my 3DS, but that doesn't detract from how amazing this is.

 

[dimmidice]

WOW! amazing. Going to try this out later

 

[kultsi]

Good stuff! Any way to batch install all the CIAs with one command, so one doesn't need to type in every one of them?
