Is there a guide on how to do that?

Okay. I did that and the 3DS booted as normal. What step should I take next? I looked some stuff up and I need something called FBI to install cias? Is there an alternate way to get games or is that the only way?

Use FBI and FreeShop. https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-community-freeshop-fork-open-source-eshop-alternative.483159/

You can use the 3dsx version of FBI to install the cia version.

I'm still not too sure how to use these files that I downloaded. How do I actually install these files?

Open download play and press "L + Down + Select". Then go to the "Miscellaneous options menu" and select "Switch the hb. title to the current app.". Save your settings. Then close download play and open it again. Then you can open the 3dsx version of FBI and install what you want.

Thank you good sir. You have left me in a position to redownload the old games very quickly and easily. One last question, I just successfully downloaded Pokemon Omega Ruby however, it requires me to update my DS system. Is it safe to update my DS System even though I have CFW? (The files you just made me copy over). Or do I have to update my CFW/Install it onto my 3DS before doing any such things?
Thanks.

As long as you have B9S installed it's perfectly safe to update. (If you used the .firm luma then you have B9S.)

Is there a way to check if I have B9S installed?

I already told you. If you used the .firm version of luma then you have b9s.
