UPDATE - minipasta does not let me install personal legit cias. neither does gw...
****
Still looking for a method to do this :)





Hi I remember when I was testing legit cia file creation in FunkyCIA that the personal legit cia files - (cia files with a console id, not a blank console id like preinstalled legit cias) - that these files would only install via PBT cfw and NOT via GW...

is that still the case? what current cfw solutions let us install personal legit cias files?
i would like to hear from people who have tested, because they seem to be a little weird to other pirated/preinstalled legit cia files that seem to install easily. I believe personal legit cia files need more things patched in the fw, for whatever reason, even though it's legit.

I remember @capito27 told me about them working on PBT, so, any input about this now? :)
thanks all, good luck

Idk ill try for you if you wanna link me one and give it a go in Sysnand? Or will they only work on my console because of the console ID. Try booting into Sysnand with mini pasta install the CIA shut down and see if it runs without CFW.

i can't like you one because it has to be legit for your own 3ds... :) (so you need to create it yourself form content you bought, make it with FunkyCIA)

if installed, it will run, but the problem is just installing, these cias would usually not install for stuff like gw. (maybe they do now, i don't know)

minipasta hmm, i'll have a look thanks :)

personal legit and works without hacks? i think the only pokemon vc game is the pokemon card game, if that is what you mean?

At first, I tried it with miniPasta and it worked. I switched to rxTools though. But yes, it worked with miniPasta

the game you installed:

Yes. I made my own Pokemon ROM, though. I downloaded a randomizer and randomized it and turned it into a VC. Essentially, is not different from a regular VC CIA.

uhh lol ok then you completely misunderstand the my op and the whole point of the thread. i don't see how you can answer 'yes'... it is not legit, it will not work without hacks.
thanks for your time, but sorry, i'm asking about personal legit cias. very different to custom content (= pirated cia basically)
read my op to understand what i mean...

Okay, sorry for trying to help you.
That was a bit rude. He was asking about legit CIAs, not custom CIAs. Legit CIAs can be installed and launched without a CFW, custom CIAs need a CFW to be installed and launched.

I'm sorry for not knowing? I didn't know this was an issue to you. How about we stay on the subject so that Cearp can get his thread answered, otherwise, this will become a shitfest I don't want to start. So, chill :D

i have a friend who wants to install a personal legit cia on 4.5 sysnand.
i can use minipasta (booted via browserhax i think? it's a 3dsx right) - then go back into browserhax to load fbi via 3dsx also, and then install the cia?

I interpreted "sorry for trying to help you." negatively, like an insult or something, not as sorry for not knowing but I tried. Anyways, back on topic. I don't know the answer to cearp's problem.

Correct but whether that CIA will run is a mystery.

no no, it will run, 100% certain :)
I'm just worried about the install.

and to do this with n3ds, i use homemenuxhax, how can i do minipasta then go back and load fbi?
won't minipasta run then exit, triggering menuhax again? would the pasta still be cooking at this time or would the pasta be thrown away when menuhax does it stuff?
i usually only use gw so i'm new to free cfw lol
thanks

    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
