Homebrew How to install legit CIA files 9.3-10.3

[Rinnegatamante]

What is it about Ninjhax that means it won't work? Sorry for not having technical knowledge. I guess I must be misunderstanding something. I always use Ninjhax, I can't be bothered setting up menuhax if I only need to use the homebrew menu once (or a few times if it doesn't work).

Then download normal FBI or Big Red Menu and try to install a CIA file with them on fw >= 9.3 and you'll see what memchunkhax2 is.

What does normal FBI have to do with it?

Normal FBI doesn't perform memchunkhax2 so you'll see what you can do without an ARM11 Kernel Exploit ^^

I got a problem. Whenever it says "done" it won't let me get pass the screen. I tried this 30 TIMES.

You just have to keep trying.

Either keep trying or just downgrade.

do the new legit pokemon games work with this method?

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

Does this method still work on 10.6?

No. memchunkhax2 was patched in 10.4.
You can still downgrade if you have a hardmod. @gamesquest1 offers a hardmod service in UK, and if you ask he might even perform the downgrade for you. Then you'd be able to use CFW/emuNAND and install/play any CIA you want.

Nah, no need for that. Just wanted to install a legit CIA which I got from eShop on my Girlfriends 3DS.
Thank you for your answer :3

i get invalid command error, the 3ds's firmware is 10.5, i hear cias won't install above 10.3 firmwares, if that is true then please rename your thread so people won't ask questions like mine

If you got it from eShop, it's not a legit CIA. Legit CIAs can only be gotten from games that come preinstalled on 3DSes.

PSA: this doesn't work on anything over 10.3

OPINION: ITS BETTER TO JUST DOWNGRADE TO 9.2 IF YOU HAVE THE OPTION

Also,

Look for the following title is in the CIA section on that ISO site.

PS, they are the legit copy versions too.

Do these work on 10.3? Cheers

Yes, since they were dumped from the New3DS/2DS bundles.

So when I try to run this on my bro's old3DSXL on firmware 9.9.0-18U, it freezes on a glitched on top and a yellow screen on bottom... anyone know what's wrong and how to maybe fix it?

I'm using oothax, BTW...

 

[rimmyjustles]

So, I'm running Menuhax. Just trying to understand here that .cia files can also be DLC, right? Does this mean I can use FBI on my 9.9 to install DLC?

Not without custom firmware. Read the thread. "Legit" CIAs are games that came pre-installed on special edition bundles.
