Retroarch: cant get cia info on 3ds

[TheAutisticGamer]

Description

Hiya! I came over and installed the retroarch cia on FBI with a side of godmode9 and Luma3ds. But whenever I load it up on my OLD 3ds. I get the error "Cant get CIA file info." I just boot it up and it just happens

Expected behavior

I expect retroarch to boot up.

Actual behavior

I get an error message the second I launch it

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Power up the 3ds and head to retroarch
2. Launch retroarch
3. Throw the 3ds out the window because you just did it

Bisect Results

This started happening when I first installed it

You need to install the core .cia files present in the "cores" directory inside the Retroarch folder, which should be extracted to the root of your SD card. Do NOT delete the cia files.

Is it correct that the cia files need to remain in that folder for things to work correctly? If I delete them no cores are found in the plain retroarch app

Yep, discovered that when I was using the last stable version of RA.

It seems @FateForWindows has explained how to resolve this so I am going to close this issue, please let us know if there is any other problems.

Updated my comment as well, specifying not to delete the cias.
