It is like a game installation file on the computer (3DS) you must have the program to install it on your computer (3DS) your.

In which the most important you need to know is the part:

• SD – Your memory card, for game or app you copy to .CIA format device
• Titles – Manage games / apps installed in your device. This section is available if you want to quickly delete a game or app installed with the FBI, however If it is safe and simplest, go to System Setting on your computer -> Data Management -> 3DS -> Software to delete the game you do not want to play. because in Title of the FBI there are a number of system apps, if you delete them by mistake, your computer will fail.

Go to SD card 2DS – 3DS install the game

When on SD (Move to SD and press A) that is, you have access to your memory card. The bottom screen of the machine will have a line of basic instructions for manipulating the FBI, including:

• A: Choose
• B: Back
• X: Refresh (In the case the memory card has changed)
• Select: Refines

Move to the Game folder (Or the CIA depending on the name of the folder you create) contains .CIA file – Why did I create this folder and leave the game in it? Game shops also often put the .cia format game into the directory instead of leaving the root of the memory card. Because in this FBI program you can copy, move or delete files as you like. This is relatively dangerous for hacking machines because deleting the CFW’s file system by mistake will not boot the machine. So to avoid unfortunate mistakes, create a game copy folder to help you manage more easily.

Move to the .cia game file you want to install and press A on the menu below will appear

The information on both screens in the FBI program is quite intuitive and easy to understand. On the screen above there will be Game name and game icon with the following parameters:

• My game file is mariow.cia
• My game file size is 4.5 MB
• Free memory card space required to install the game: 4.88MB
• Region: Region Free (No partitioning)
• The bottom line of the screen above will show: The SD card capacity is available – you will need to keep this in mind because the game you install always needs more free cards than the required capacity.

The screen below will be the menu:

• Install CIA – Install that CIA file
• Install and delete CIA – Install the CIA file and delete the installation file
• Delete – Delete the file
• Rename – Rename the file
• Copy
• Paste

Now you want to install that game just select Install CIA or Install and delete CIA Press A for the program to run the installation. During installation if it feels too long (eg 3GB game file) If you have urgent work, you can press B to cancel (uninstall). After the installation is complete you can press Home to go to the Home Menu – the Game / App you installed will appear as a gift package that needs you to open a gift – similar to downloading a game / app from eShop.

*** Why there is Delete CIA and Install & Delete CIA: New users who do not understand the problem still wonder if they install the game and then delete the CIA file, why not? Lost the game? And delete that CIA file for what? Simply like a computer game, you download the .exe installation file to install the game, after installation you have to delete the installation file so that your hard drive is light, blank and can install other games. The CIA is the same thing, you download it online to just install the game file, you want to play the game you have to copy to the memory card and use the FBI to install that game, after installing it you should delete it to make room for other games . The FBI has a better item than Title Manager that is Install and delete – Helps you 1 button 1 can execute the installation command and delete the installed file, squeeze the peel ^^ Or you can carefully choose Install and then click on Delete manually again.

*** Tips to quickly install many games without having to select install and delete each game:

When you move into the Game folder containing the cia files, the first line is , you choose on the line that will appear Menu as shown below:

• Install all CIAs – Install all the CIA, but do not choose this line except you are confident your memory card 128GB or 256GB ^^
• Install and delete all CIAs – Install and delete all CIA. This line will be the main issue that the shop mentions, when you choose the program the FBI will install each game on your computer in turn, after installing any game, delete the CIA game file, leave the card empty and install the next game. A small note when using this feature is that you need to have at least the available card space that is required for the free card to install the heaviest game. Avoid the case of relying on the computer to install the game, then go out and see that nothing has been installed because there is not enough free space to install the heaviest file.
• The rest of the commands are the same for the odd file command, except that you execute it against all the files in the Game directory.
