Homebrew [Release] CIAngel - download GOOD cias right on your 3ds :)

[Wellington2k]

I'm pretty new to this cia downloading on the 3DS, so sorry if this has been answered before.
I installed Ciangel and it downloads and installs cias just fine, but booting any of them (Pocket Jockey, Donkey Kong Country, etc.) results in endless loading.
The only one that worked was Super Mario Land 2.

Any help would be appreciated!

Some games require crypto fixing, visit the games eShop page to get the seeddb entry, or manually decrypt it using a seeddb.bin file and Decrypt9.

Is there a way to view a list of tickets I've installed with CIAngel? I did not write down what tickets I installed earlier, and now I can't remember lol.
If not, then could it be added in? Perhaps with the game name, and not the actual ticket name.

There isn't anything that flags a ticket installed via CIAngel as different from any other title. You can view installed tickets (And remove them) in FBI. There's no harm in installing a ticket multiple times, or installing a CIA after having installed a ticket. And tickets created with CIAngel are "Good" so they don't interfere with eShop installs/updates at all.

Ah, alright. I see, thanks for clearing that up.

Would there be a way to speed up CIAngel's download speed? I would think no considering it's right from Nintendo's servers.
I ask because right now I'm using the "Create CIA" option for someone else, and it's slow as hell. I get 4.0 MB/s down and I know I'm not getting anywhere near that on my 3ds.
I usually don't notice the slow speed because I use "download later" in the Eshop and let it go overnight.

When it's done, I'm going to look at the size of the .cia, and see if I can estimate the download speed.

I use a 1MB buffer, so each time you see the % update is 1MB downloaded. The code is literally open HTTP stream, then read 1MB, write to file (Or CIA buffer if installing), repeat. There's nothing really I can do to speed it up, it entirely depends on the speed of the 3DS's internet connection.

HTTPC downloading seems to max at around 900 kB/s and cannot really do anything to get that faster afaik. If you install while downloading, it's around 500 kB/s assuming you do it like eShop (install a game on eShop and time it). I only benchmarked a few times, I could be wrong. I would like to know if anyone has faster speeds. I use an o3ds, but afaik the n3ds doesn't have faster network speeds.

But if you download at 4 MB/s on your PC, you still have to copy it to your SD card and then install it with FBI or something. Will likely not save much time.

The N3DS does indeed have faster network speed.

@Drakia @cearp
Just a suggestion, but could you include the version numbers somewhere in the program

I don't think we really have a version number picked until we're tagging trunk off as a release on GitHub (And it's really based on "Hmm, I only fixed two things, I'll just at 0.01"), so that would be a little tough I can see about maybe including the current git commit hash somewhere visible though?

Ignore that. Stupid GBafail didn't clear the cache on something that I deleted TWICE and as you seen went stupid when I tried to post

No worries, it does that a lot to me. The "draft" feature is kinda dumb

@cearp @Drakia For region filtering, isn't "off" and "ALL" the same thing?

Alright. Thanks anyways
I'm not sure if you saw my request, but would it be possible to add the download speed, and ETA when downloading? Perhaps on the bottom screen. It would be good information to have in my opinion.

The wireless hardware is the same, so I doubt it, I'd like to see some benchmarks using httpc. Could very well be the install speed being faster due to cpu. In which case installs could be closer to 900 kB/s but the network speed isn't actually faster. Though that's still nearly double speed for install.

Not quite, "ALL" is games with the region "ALL", while "off" is all regions It's confusing, but blame Nintendo (Pokemon X/Y I believe are examples of games with an ALL region).

I'll open a github ticket to keep track of it, but can't promise anything

Oh, ok! Makes more since, thanks!

Fair enough. Thanks

I'm trying to install Mario Kart 7, and I get an error saying cia install failed. I tried on my other 3ds with the same exact setup, and it goes through.

My best guess is you have a bad ticket on your system. You'll need to go in to FBI (The latest version), go to the Tickets submenu, and find the titleid of the game you're trying to download. You'll then press "A" on it, and select Delete Ticket. After you've done that, try redownloading in CIAngel, and see if it works now.

My brother just tried CIAngel on is O3DS (luma3ds (not the newest, still called aurei) updated to 11.0) and whenever he types in a word for search and presses the check mark to commence the search CIAngel crashes him to the home menu of the 3DS system, any idea?

 

[Aeturnus]

Feature request - multiple selections, or returning to previous menu after making a choice. For example, if I want to download OR/AS and x/y, I have to search pokemon 4 times. Instead, I would like to search pokemon once, hit x to mark each I would like to add the the queue, then a to confirm I have selected all my choices.
