Cubic Ninja will NEVER be a legit CIA.

 

[Salamencizer]

Cubic Ninja will NEVER be a legit CIA.

Why?

 

[RhythmCat]

Why?

Because it didn't come in a bundle. It's not legit.
It has to be pre-installed.

I didn't try it but someone else did try it with Hans and it worked.

I do not know what's going on today that I have not managed to load even once the FBI successfully after more than two hours trying, and that yesterday afternoon more or less shortly. I tried to Ironhax with MenuHax, with cartridge trick with another trick to load a video and doing nothing well.

In what I've come to Donate has been supposedly should I charge the FBI correctly, but the touch of a button the screen stays black and does nothing.

ok that's great to hear since I'm downloading it right now.

Be sure it's a legit Majora's Mask Cia as a regular Cia will not work with this method. You'll have to downgrade and install cfw for that.

Can therebe CIAs for homebrews?

Can therebe CIAs for homebrews?

There are, but you can't use them. This method is only for LEGIT .cia files (ones in the list in the OP, because they came pre-installed on a 3DS at one point, and are digitally signed by Nintendo.)

 

[Sonto340]

Can therebe CIAs for homebrews?

Not legit cias. Legit CIAs are only for games that come preinstalled in a bundle.

Reposting this for the people who have been having trouble...

Guys, I found the best and fastest way to do it on n3DS.

OK, bear with me here.

1. Move all your homebrew except FBI and memchunkhax2 into some other directory.
2. Install menuhax if you haven't.
3. Remove the battery cover.
4. Enter Homebrew Launcher through menuhax.
5. Enter FBI and spam A. (Skip to Step 8 if you succeeded)
6. Didn't work? Remove the battery (this will reset your time and date but this is the fastest method).
7. Repeat Steps 4-6.
8. If your input is botched (rarely detects button commands) be very careful.
9. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PUT YOUR 3DS ON A FLAT SURFACE TO AVOID ANY POSSIBILITIES OF THE BATTERY FALLING OUT DURING INSTALLATION.
10. Install all your CIAs.
11. You're basically done, put back on your battery cover, take your other homebrew in the other directory to their original location and do whatever you want with menuhax. Uninstall or leave as it is, that's up to you.

I got this working in 10 tries, installing a bunch of CIAs as we speak. Man, it pays off experimenting yourself without trying all these cancerous suggestions I've been seeing.
