Homebrew What are CIA files?

[Elianis88]

Hello,

I see many people speaking about CIA files and how to install them, but what is a CIA file?
I also heard about legit and no-legit CIA, what's the difference? And where can I find CIA files to install?

Instead of starting a new thread, why don't you read the many, MANY threads that are out there? Use the search bar.

A CIA file is like an installed game. A .3ds file is a game cartridge, on the other hand.

Legit cia files are signed and not edited. And we cant help you find them, google is the easiest way.
