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

Now sure how you generate wings.json but ideally the size information should be there imo. Then you can do stuff like make items red in the menu when they're too big too install or queue is too big to install (or similar things).

We don't actually generate it, we use the JSON directly from the titlekey database

yeah when i generated the json myself i did this
but much easier to depend on that website now, the trade off is that... we are not in control.
but it's worth it i think

The next thing we need to develop is some sort of distributable website platform for storing the keys database so a single host cannot go down.

When I figure that one out I can be the next Zuckerberg, or at the very least Sean Parker.

I'm not actually working on that.

Well, I mean, anyone can just grab the data and rehost it I guess, if they're willing to take on that legal grey area I mentioned before. I'd recommend servers outside the US though, probably somewhere a lot more lax on copyright laws, and with a host known for not instantly dropping a site due to a DMCA request. Just saying.

 

[TheCruel]

The website source should be released, or recreated. Then people have the option of easily rehosting if needed.

According to Github the game size is now in the JSON, so it should now be possible to implement a size check before downloading.

That was the whole idea. It's gotta be looked at and figured out how to implement first.

He was saying the guy who hosts the titlekey database added the size to the JSON (He's awesome, he keeps an eye on our GitHub, and tends to implement things we're discussing): https://github.com/llakssz/CIAngel/issues/112#issuecomment-225098965

Yeah, I'm TheDgtl on GitHub, I've already seen it.

I'm aware of this, I am of course the Xenosaiga on github too. Lol. Already saw where he included it.

Yeah, wasn't sure you'd seen TomEke's comment on there (Some people are crazy and have notifications turned off, crazy people). Now I just have to get actual time to work on CIAngel. Having two products at work at the end stages of development makes time very short.

@cearp @Drakia @machinamentum @Friendsxix this is an awesome tool!

Btw, it seems like one can't use it to find Taiwan games (such as Taiwan Super Mario 3D Land CTR-AREW 0004000000089E00)

(I was simply curious cause I wanted to disassemble the game and look at the region, as I'm curious about the region lockout for Taiwan games)

edit:
I am assuming this is because a TW eshop probably doesn't really exist,
hence none of such games are on server?

The titlekey database is entirely community contributed. Until someone buys the game and contributes the titlekey, there's no way for us to generate a working CIA.

titlekey as in the extract from actual eshop purchases!

that explains a lot!

Yup, it's the key the 3DS uses to decrypt the game content. The community has contributed quite a collection so far (CIAngel has access to 2,741 games/DLC/updates/demos), but there are a lot more we're still missing.

 

[TheCruel]

Should make a 3ds titlekey bounty web service. Users contribute small amount of BTC funds for a desired game. A user who submits a working key for it gets the funds released to them.

That would massively reduce the number of missing titles and incentivize contributions. God I wish I had more time to make things...

converting a .3ds to .cia wont provide a correct key right?

Right, it HAS to be purchased legitimately via the eShop.

This is great stuff - how do we reward the developers/hosts and such?

All we ask is you contribute to the community titlekey database to increase the games available to everyone
