Homebrew Have I Messed Up Guys?

Sounds like a broken cia to me. What's the exact error?

Well its saying it failed as soon as I press A to continue/install

Did you generate the cia file using the converter?

The site I got it from (I think you know the one) gave it to me as a RAWR file,which I unrawred and got it as a CIA from. I dont have a windows PC or wine on my Mac so I dont think I can use that converter. I thought the converter just made it a CIA file(which it already is)?

With the CIA converter you need to first generate the ncchinfo.bin using the .3ds file.

Then you need to place the ncchinfo.bin on your SD card and run rxTools to generate ExHeader XORpads.

Once you have generated the XORPads they will be located on your SD card. Copy them to your computer and put them in the correct folder of the CIA converter software.

Then you should be able to generate a proper CIA file.

Is rxTools a Homebrew app?

Ignore what Mammastuffing said (it's all correct, just not relevant) - it's reffering to rxTools the cfw, and as you're using Reinand you can ignore it. Also, there are far simpler things to try before you need to embark on learning about xorpad generation.

• Make sure you're launching FBI in emunand, and have your install destination as SD not nand.
• Make sure you have plenty of available space on your SD. FBI can throw that error out due to disk space - and it can do it even when you have more than enough space to install the file. It can also error if the cia you're installing is in a path containing lots of other files (ie, root) - best to have just a 'cia' folder at root and have as few files in there as possible.
  
• Try a different download/dump of the cia you're trying to install.

* So I know its in emunand because it launches into the Reinand menu and then my Emunand "Homecreen with all my stuff on if I hold "L" while booting up the console (Had to boot up this way as it kept crashing while trying to go to the Homescreen when I selected auto boot up).

* I have a 32 or 35 sd card that I bought brand new so it has more than enough space for at least one game.

Should I create a Folder on the SD root called "3DS Roms" and put it in there?

*I only managed to find an EU download of the game from that kinda foreign 3ds site that cant be named. Do you have any alternative sites you could PM?
