Homebrew Installing Cia over Internet?

[Eddypikachu]

I remember there was a homebrew application that lets you install the cias over the internet so it doesn't require you to have double the memory on your SD card, but I can't for the life of me find it can someone please link me to it?

Take a look here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-socketpunch-gui-alternative-to-fbis-sockfile.386762/
it's a java application and works pretty well. But I think you still need twice the space to install a cia. But it deletes the cia after installing.

It works pretty well over LAN using an o3ds, not so good with n3ds from my tests. ( WIN7 64 bit )

Aww, guess I'm force to delete an extra 2GB of games ;-;

Let's say you have 4GB free space and want to install a 2GB game. That would work. and when the cia got installed you still have 2 gb free space. It just needs these extra 2 gb to temporarily store the cia.

No, you only need twice the space for:

• the cia on the SD card
• the cia after it's been installed

So, no, installing over network doesn't require twice the space.

Might as well just get a bigger sd card (unless you already have the biggest one your 3ds can handle right now)

NASA and Houston will do it too. Doesn't require double space.
