Homebrew [Release] FBI - Open source CIA installer
Question. I'm suddenly getting an error of Description: DESCRIPTION_ACCESS_DENIED (0x6) every time I try to install a CIA. I boot up my Cakesfw, and start up FBI through Ninjhax 1.1b, and just get that error when trying to install a CIA file. Same with RxTools. PastaCFW however, acts like it installs just fine. But nothing appears on the home menu to launch. Any ideas?
No, you can't. we dont have am:net service access for homebrew on 9.3+, needed for FBI to work. Also, you need a way to patch signature checks with a arm9 exploit we dont have on 9.3+ for unsigned CIAs
That has nothing to do with the fact that it uses themes. In fact, it is possible to use ThemeHax to launch CFW and everything that needs an ARM9 kernel access. All entrypoints used to launch the Homebrew Launcher are userland. Even NinjHax 1. The only different thing is that a kernel exploit has been found for 9.2 or less and it can be used from userland.
Right, but they were asking if homemenuhax had access to install cias without libkhax, which is not possible.
i had this problem too installed fail so i have to change from cakes to reinand right?
Please help im stuck with this for 10hours in front of my computer or anyone please help me TT
is it possible to install BBM like this ? HomemenuHAX(sysnand) > HomebrewLauncher > Rxtools(emunand unlinked) > BrowserHax > HomebrewLauncher > FBI > Install BigBluemenu on emunand ?
and of course on a New3ds...
and of course on a New3ds...
This shit is incredible!
A couple of small suggestions:
1. Allow FBI to skip CIAs that have already been installed. Currently, if you select "Install all CIAs" with one cia in the directory that's already been installed it will tell you something's already installed and if you press "cancel" it stops the whole queue.
2. Similar to above, when using sockfile (in my case socket punch) FBI will ask if you want to download something over the network everytime a new file is being sent from a list. The suggestion would be to allow it to do its thing to allow overnight CIA installing.
Great work on this, man; it's very well done.

4GB .3ds files need to be split to work on gateway (in fat32 mode)
You should merge the .3ds into one 4GB file before converting to a cia.
No cia is over 4GB so no need to split it. (it's trimmed by default)
Use simple cia converter by riku.

Exactly. All it's necessary to check it's not a .cia is looking at the file extension. If it doesn't say "*.cia" it's obviously not a CIA file. And CIA files can't be divided in any case. Only happens with .3ds roms dumped by Gateway.
So i'm kind of in a bind i'm not a fan of CFW besides pasta CFW and want to install CIA's with it FBI but apparently I can't even if I run pasta the go back to Ninjhax 1.1b and then run FBI. I can launch pasta with cubic Ninja but when I try to install gateway I get >>FAILED: 0000005 C86044CD not sure what to do

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
