  1. Power off 3DS
  2. Turn it on and load menuhax
  3. Open GameYob
  4. Exit GameYob with L-R-Down-B
  5. Load the modded FBI
  6. Spam A (like mash)
  7. Select the CIA
  8. If all goes well, it should install
10.3 n3DS menuhax
Worked first try for me.

"Install failed!
Source: SOURCE_AM_START_CIA_INSTALL (0x13)"

Do you need twice the size of the cia in free space before you put it on the SD card or after?
Before, because the CIA will end up 2 times in your SD.

The first time is when you copy it over to install, then FBI will install the CIA again on your SD, after you're done you can delete the first one.

This is what I was assuming, thank you (and rufus) for the confirmation

So they work like any other legit cia except it can be from any region?
Essentially. It basically means that if you inserted a Pokemon X cartridge from the US, it would work on a JP 3DS. Or at least, I think so. I don't know if physical copies are region-locked.
