Homebrew | Best CIA installer | Poll

[Clydefrosch]

gawd, yesterday, it took me 4 minutes to install a 3mb dlc for smash using bbm.

I have literally never needed anything but FBI, nor do I really understand why I would.

basically, you don't. however, bbm does give you a little more information about the cia files you have, like their title and unique id. i find that helpful for deleting titles lateron

Just wondering, why do so many people vote for DevMenu? It has a terrible user interface, first of all. Second and most important, it doesn't allow installing of unsigned CIAs. Only legit ones...

 

[Krakatau]

Voting for FBI because I use it the most.
Do any install faster? Because thats all I care about.

Red has the reputation to be fast, despite unstable and buggy.

 

[Krakatau]

Should I add the CIA manager for 9.3+ as well or isn't it the 'same' as the above ones?

What the hell are you smoking? And why aren't you sharing?
DevMenu will install pretty much any cia you throw at it. As for the UI, it does the job it needs to and well, FBI "UI" erm yeah.
@Steveice10 when are you upgrading FBI to actually have a nice UI? I think it's about time, it deserves it. haha I guess you have to finish the UI stuff for Citrus first...

Funny how many people voted BBM over DevMenu when they're the exact same thing.

 

[laharl22]

The best for me FBI and bigbluemenu second

KGB

 

[mokmoki]

how do you uninstall CIA files? do you need to have the CIA on your card? or just remove it normally via the Settings -> Data Mgmt -> Nintendo 3ds?

 

[duwen]

I can't vote for just one choice - I use FBI and BBM equally... but if pushed to choose just one, I'd have to say FBI as that's generally the installer I'll boot first (then switch to BBM if FBI fails).

NASA IMO

From my experience Dev Menu will let you right over system titles regardless of it being newer or older but BBM only lets you install newer version of the target title.

Weed, and I meant FBI, not devmenu. I voted for devmenu on the poll. FBI doesn't allow for unsigned CIAs and has a terrible UI.

FBI works with unsigned CIAs, I use it all the time for it. And you don't NEED a good UI, you need something that works.

Yes but something that works AND looks good is always nice.

Not the version I'm using. I always get ERROR_INVALID_SIGNATURE. Same with some others I know.

 

[Deleted User]

Are you using the CIA version using a CFW? I am (autoboot emuNAND rxMode) and it works fine.

It's nice, but the author doesn't have to do it

 

[RedBlueGreen]

BigRedMenu's pretty good since you can delete the cia after install but I have to say IMO FBI is the best because of the speed.

 

[djalmafreestyler]

Speaking about speed I prefer BBM, I installed the same game in FBI and BBM, FBI took more time to install than BBM.

BBM Delete CIAs too.
