Installing games (
.cia
files) is a simple process using the FBI application, many homebrew applications also come in .cia
format and will appear in the Home menu once installed. Homebrew applications in .3dsx
format are not installed, instead, they must be copied to your SD card and loaded via the Homebrew Launcher. This guide will show you how to install backup games and homebrew applications from your SD card onto your hacked 3DS.The.3ds file does not appear to be broken, since it can run on Citra. However, I downloaded a different.3ds rom (not a rom hack) and it is building the.cia just fine. My best guess is that I can't build the.cia because it is a hacked rom or because the rom is decrypted. I tried encrypting the rom with GodMode9 but nothing works with it.

The last major release, v1.9.0, was a pretty solid release to begin with, but as always there is room for improvement.
