Fun fact: I downgraded and have emunand with custom firmware and still have all my game saves.

So don't let the "I'm gonna lose all my game saves" stop you because the only way you can lose data is if you downgrade wrong.

Just do your research and everything will be ok.

ive read and re read all the guides i can see and most if not all say to reset game db and format console.. im just panicking about doing the downgrade incase I lose the pokemon saves... the rest of the games I dont mind replaying through..

which guides did you use. im currently on 10.3 N3ds(EU) - so which would the process be to keep it all there but have it all on an emunand..

the CFW has major advantages for me but I just dont want to lose my stuff.

want to pm me some links to the guides and other (files) needed?
edited: I have a 32gb sd in there so that should be enough space right

works on 10.4 sysNand?
No. Legit CIA can only be installed from 9.3 to 10.3 without using custom firmware.

10.4 fixed the vulnerability.

Has this at all been updated to work properly? Or is that shit dead in the water.

I doubt any further work has been put into this considering 10.4 fixed the vulnerability and most of the people that wanted to do so have already downgraded to 9.2 where they can install whatever they want.

B?

I can confirm EUR region .CIAs work on Australian consoles! Just installed about 10 games to my N3DS XL on 10.3! Took like 30 tries to get FBI to actually work without freezing or chucking Install errors but that seems a lot faster than most people in this thread so I guess I'm lucky! All these gift boxes are legit CIA installations:

@DutchyDutch you should put these in the OP so people know they have the right files.



Yeah you basically need 2 qualifications:
1) The screen should show "Step 1:" then a bunch of things, and the last line should say "Done."
2) You need to be able to press A on this screen once Done is shown to take you to the actual FBI menu. Sometimes Done will show but FBI will be frozen and pressing A will do nothing
If you get to the FBI menu without done, in my experience the CIA installations will just fail. Just keep rebooting until you get it to work. If it helps, I booted into FTPBrony first then exited that with L+R+B+Down then opened FBI. Also I'd advise you to install as many CIAs as you want the first time, cause if you end up wanting to add more later it'll be a hassle getting FBI to work again.

How do you install them?
