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

First is to obtain your 3DS's IP address:

• Run FBI, make sure both 3DS and PC are on the same network.
• Select Remote install.
• Select Receive URLs over the network and take note of your console's IP address.

To send CIA files to 3DS:

• Open BOOP.exe. 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.
