hi guys :>
i'm using a 3DS with Luma3DS + A9LH. is there any way to install a backup of a game without a CIA? here's the situation:
i own Pokemon Y. but my little sister has been asking me for it, as she likes pokemon and is totally hyped for the customisation. i beat the game already, but it's Pokemon, so i don't wanna just give it up. so i thought, "why not back it up on my SD card?" obviously, i need double the space of the game's size on my SD in order to install it as a CIA. but i don't have that. I know how to extract .CIA's using
ctrtool, so i was wondering if i extracted the .CIA, would i be able to install the game like that to my SD (assuming i set up the directories correctly, which i think i can do after studying how games are organized on the SD card)? like, could i manually install the ticket and have the game on my SD card, working?
if not, i'd like an explanation why. i'm actually interested in the details of how CIAs are really installed :>
