CIA stands for '''C'''TR '''I'''mportable '''A'''rchive. This format allows the installation titles to the 3DS. CIA files can compile [[NCCH]] files for installation to either the SDMC or CTR NAND. CIA files can also compile .SRL files (format for DS(i) executable images) for installation to the TWL NAND of the 3DS.
