Boop 3DS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:32, 23 July 2021

Boop is a PC application that allows you to send your .cia and .tik files to your 3DS, running FBI directly over your Wi-Fi LAN.

It is a C# implementation of the servefiles.py from FBI and remote_install_pc.py from Tinfoil.

As today, Boop works with the latest version of FBI meaning you can install 3DS CIA homebrew directly to your console.

Features

Switch .nsp and 3DS .cia support.
Easy to use GUI.
Full Drag and Drop support.
Multi-File Booping.
Name your files whatever you want. Even emojis.
The webserver runs on EmbedIO (HTTP 2.0 supported).
Doesn't require administrator rights.
Auto detection of your Nintendo console IP address (trying to match your MAC address).
Selecting an IP address if you are connected to multiple networks (or with multiple network adapters).
Sneks (one with a top hat) looking after you.

User guide

How to send CIA files to 3DS

Run FBI on your 3DS:

Both 3DS and PC should be on the same network.
Select Remote install.
Select Receive URLs over the network and take note of your console's IP address.

Then open BOOP.exe on your PC:

Enter your 3DS's IP address, select Pick files.
Select the CIA applications/games that you want to install.
If you are prompted by Firewall settings, choose Allow access and you should see the Booting status on the application.

Back to your 3DS, press A to proceed. Once completed, press HOME to return to main screen.

Note: Please note that this method will take longer than intalling directly from your sd card. Make sure your 3DS have enough battery to complete the installation process.
