*.cia files are like *.wad on the wii, they are encrypted archive files that needs a custom (homebrew) installer to work.
There is no way to play these from a flashcard, you need to install them first.

But the ticket is missing, so maybe they are incomplete dumps and not playable at all.
Well it's an 3ds-explorer error, the ticket is there, no idea whats wrong...

usually i would agree with you Falo, but if memory does not fail me, there was a video of the new 3ds-flash-card, which shows an e-shop title played from the flashcart, in similar fashion to retail games. i assume you would have to convert the eshop title beforhand, but it seems possible.
OT: i guess it could be possible, but if it was common knowledge, the frontpage of gbatemp would have mentioned it. so, this far i dont think anything was puplicly released


edit:
the video mentioned

The games that were shown in this video come in the usual .3ds format.
.cia files on the other hand are found for update files or those apps like youtube etc.
