3DS FBI Link for Mac: Seamlessly transfer CIAs to your 3DS running FBI with our user-friendly graphical interface. Enjoy advanced features that outshine servefiles and Boop.

Benefits over Boop or servefiles

  • Just double-click on a CIA. No WINE or command line needed.
  • Send CIA files from anywhere on your computer. They don't have to be in the same folder. And yes, we do this in a smart way.
  • Uses a random available port. We don't depend on using port 8080.
  • Send to multiple 3DSes. If you're testing apps or otherwise, just add 'em all and get going.
  • Mix and match local and internet files. Use links to CIAs on github together with files you have on your computer.

Other features to note

  • It seems pretty fast. I'm able to send files at up to 1.3MB/s on my New 3DS. This is close to its wireless speed limits.
  • Thanks to Boop, we also attempt to autodetect the 3DS, so you don't have to enter its IP address.

Requirements

  1. Nintendo 3DS with FBI 3DS
  2. MacOS X 10.13 or higher

Installation

  1. Copy 3DS FBI Link app to your Applications Folder

Usage

  1. Open FBI on 3DS. Choose "Receive URLs over the network."
  2. Open app on your Mac.
  3. If your 3DS is not already listed, click '+' and enter its information, as listed on the FBI screen.
  4. Add any files or URLs you would like. Files can also be dragged and dropped or opened

To-dos & questions

  • More complete edge condition checking (emoji in filenames, connectivity checking)
  • Support for multiple network connections
  • Auto-updating or update checking functionality
  • Auto-scrolling the status field; other UI improvements.
  • Create a Apple developer-signed version, so it's easier to launch.
