So friend of mine checked this CHMM2 method too. At first time he got "Done." but with freeze, at second time it worked like a charm.

Are you guys on O3DS or N3DS?

Did someone manage to install Super Smash Bros Cia?

I tryed with the one of the "chaos" site, but... it didn't worked.

its funny, but it seems like screenshot tool made a screenshot whenever i entered fbi when it stopped after cleaning up.

With *hax 2.5, pressing the power button to power down takes a screenshot. Don't ask me why.
I've posted on smea's gbatemp profile to report it but it's never been fixed.

Hey. So I managed to get past the 'Done' screen and into where you can select the .cia you want. I clicked on my cia (Majora's Mask 3D) and it comes up with these messages:

Summary: Summary_Wrong_Argument (0x8)
Description"Description_Invalid_Command (0x2f)

^I take it this means the cia isn't legit? If so, could someone maybe pm me with the website where you download these files? I cant be bothered downloading every cia that I can find to find out it isnt legit (after failing to load FBI thousands of times) >.> Thanks!

Btw. does anyone know how the hell redownload on e-shop works? Game is not linked to Nintendo ID on e-shop, and yet I can redownload it on different SD card.

Depends on the size of your memory card, but no real limit

I keep getting this error whenever I try to install New super mario bros 2 Gold edition:

"Install failed!
New Super Mario Bros. 2 Gold Edition (USA).CIA
Source: SOURCE_AM_START_CIA_INSTALL (0x13)
Module: MODULE_NN_OS (0x6)
Level: LEVEL_PERMANENT (0x1b)
Summary: SUMMARY_WRONG_ARGUEMENT (0x8)
Description: DESCRIPTION_INVALID_COMMAND (0x2f)"

It does this for all the cia's I have.

Nope, the only limit is the size of your SD.

The only limit is however many you can hold on your SD card.
There is also a limit of 300 apps on home menu but you will never reach that limit with legit .cias alone, unless you already had a ton of legit stuff purchased and downloaded.

How much space foes FBI say you have left? Remember, you need twice the size of the CIA in order to be able to install it.

I have the same error. My CIA is legit and I have more than enough space. c:

How many times have you tried to install it? I had the same issue with Majora's Mask, but after rebooting my 3DS, it worked.

If it fails on SOURCE_AM_START_CIA_INSTALL, then you probably hit A when it didn't say "Done." in which case it'll fail to install.

you entered fbi without having the done message. (usually happens when it gets stuck at cleaning up)
you get the error because the exploit to install cias isn't on. power down the 3ds and try over and over and over

Wait what? done? ... when it starts up?
it rarely shows that up for me. When it does, it freezes.

Or it shows up wonky broken text.
Do I have to reboot everytime when its broken text, freezes or when it doesnt tell me its done?

Oh trust me, I have tried quite a lot. >.>''
