Excuse me, I am very new to this. So I'd like to play Pokemon Omega Ruby that I downloaded from the internet (.cia) and I'd like to ask you a question: What can I do to be able to play that game on my 3DS just by putting it on a SD card?
Homebrew How do I play games I put into my SD card

Well I have finished installing everything that's needed. But I fear that I have not enough space on my SD card. I got 2GB SD card and I have managed to put OR on it, can I run it now or should I install it again (that means I need 4GB SD Card)?
So I can't just run that .cia, I have to install it? Can I do it on my computer somehow? Omega Ruby .cia file takes 1.75 GB and after installation it takes another 1.77 GB, so it's impossible to handle it on 2GB SD Card.
I went to FBi -> Remote Install and I got 5 choices
- Receive URL over the network
- Scan QR Code
- Manually enter URLs
- Repeat last request
- Forget last request
I tried the first one (it shows my IP and I copied it to Boop) but Boop says:
Failed to connect to 3D
Please check:
Did you write the right IP adress
Is FBI open and listening?
Well, my IP was shown the same in Homebrew Launcher and FBI "receive URLs", so I don't know what to do.
I am connected to the internet obviously (router that connects my computer aswell)
EDIT: Okay, nevermind, it works now. Thank you all for helping me, cheers.

Sorry for bumping but it's important: If I buy a new SD card (let's say 32 GB), do I have to go through installing CFW all over again or it's enough to copy essential files and that's it?
What I meant is that I want to know if CFW is handled mostly by the 3DS itself and SD data is something that can be copied with no issues.
If I recall correctly 3DS can work without SD card, yes?

That's correct, the SD is just needed to store files so you can just copy and paste without needing to re do anything. But remember 32GB and higher SDs will requiere you to format them to FAT32 or they won't work.
above 32GB is not recommended by Nintendo due to stability. I personally own a 128GB card. what will happen is the home menu will get slower if u use a larger card. it won't affect the games though. be warned. I made this warning on my ex site, but they didn't believe me. stability or slowness is real though and probably will happen.

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
