Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer

[pilladoll]

Itis posibble to update a console using FBI and the cias downloaded from NUS? Theres a guy who can't update to 11.8 and asked me if this is possible

 

[urherenow]

Yes. But you’d better be SURE the .cia files are for the correct model...

Is there any possibility to tidy up the TitleDB.com list because there are always too many of the same titles (like 26 entries of freeShop) and on TitlesDB.com they aren't. Also some names are different on TitleDB.com but on FBI (like Duke Nukem 3D on TitleDB.com and only EDuke32 on FBI). I also have ONLY "JKSM 2-10-2017" installed, but as you can see on the last photo it says I have 3 "JK's Save Manager" installed (which isn't true), 1 older version of JKSM (as highlighted in blue) and one recent JKSM version (as highlighted in green). It would be much better to keep only the latest update of a title on the screen and have an expert mode which can be turned on/off to see older versions of the titles if desired.

@Steveice10
I know titleDB is a flawed feature, but it's still very useful.
Please don't get rid of it.

• Remove TitleDB support.
• Add TLSv1.2 support.
  • In testing, speeds were ~70-80kbps, which should be good enough for homebrew downloads.
    • I hope to investigate the matter further and improve speeds in the future, but wanted to finally get something out for the time being.
  • Downloads from sources that support earlier TLS versions (i.e. not GitHub) will continue to use the 3DS's built-in HTTP stack, and thus should progress at the same speeds as before.
• Revert the built-in updater back to using GitHub.

Make sure to report any new issues caused by these changes. The issue ticket for TLSv1.2 support can be found here.

Also, this update cannot be installed using the built-in updater, as the TitleDB servers are no longer available for previous versions of FBI to pull from.

Well I think the older version I have for Citra will be fine for now, if that's all that's changed.

So uh, I've been away from the 3ds modding scene for quite a few months now, does the dropping of TitleDB have anything to do with why the cias I recently download don't show up on my home screen at all? I have the most recent versions of FBI, Luma, and my 3DS is on Sys 11.9.0-42U.

It is not, no, TitleDB was simply used as a 'library' of homebrew. Does anything you have installed show up? (legit eShop games for example)? If not could be corrupted SD card

Yeah, everything shows up completely fine and functions fine, I'm just unable to download anything new. Like how last night I was downloading the cia for BootNTR Selector, and although it said it downloaded, the usual notification telling me how new software appeared on my homescreen never showed up as well as the software itself. I just don't get it.

Oh, that's what you meant, then it's a bug, as it couldn't download it, since TDB is down it wouldn't have anything to actually download.

Ah, I see... Do you know of any possible solutions or anything I could do?

Yeah, download whatever homebrew you want on your PC, put the CIA on your SD card and then install that with FBI

Welp, tried that and got the same results. Oh, well.

 

[lone_wolf323]

Welp, tried that and got the same results. Oh, well.

do you already have the app installed to your 3ds that your trying to install?

 

[Goshi]

Do you mean the one's I'm downloading through cias? No, I don't.

 

[guitaristanime]

Anyone have any clue why a particular CIA wouldn't have an install option (tried obtaining another dump of the same content and the same happens), the usual menu in FBI that shows Install, Copy, Rename etc, Install is missing.

How much homebrew do you have installed already? Are you running afoul of the 300-icon limit on the Home screen? Is that even still a thing?

Nope, I've got plenty of space on my 3DS for new games/software still.
