It's nothing more than a play on the fact that the 3DS installer files have the extension CIA (CTR Importable Archive) which is a US government agency and FBI being another US government agency.

Hello, I have version 2.5.3 and obviously I can’t update through the app. Could someone explain to me how to manually update it?

If using the 3dsx version of FBI then Download the latest version then insert your sd card into your PC. Open the 3ds folder and delete fbi.3dsx then copy latest version of FBI to the same folder.

If using the CIA version just download the latest cia version of FBI and install it like any other cia.

i can’t get fbi to update. and i don’t remember how to install it manually. is it a simple drag and drop to the send card?
sure, if you use the .3dsx version. If you use it from your home screen, then you've installed the .cia version. In that case, simply drop the new .cia onto your card, fire up FBI, and install the new .cia.

Put in on your sd card wherever you keep your .cia files and then open FBI find where the .cia is and select it and say download it

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
