Hey guys, I know development has been slow, but hopefully everyone is enjoying the current release of CIAngel :)
I just wanted to give a big thank you to all of our users, we just recently hit 15,000 downloads on the latest version :D

Thank you! I was too lasy to discover new games lately, but this angel changed everything for me. Never been so easy to get games, thank you!

My 2ds always freezes during cia install/download (this happens with freeShop too). I can put .cia files on my sd and install them with FBI no problem, however. Any clue what's causing this?

Edit: I'm on a9lh Luma updated sysNAND 11.0

I haven't heard of freezes on 2DS, but I know on the N3DS there's an issue with a lot of homebrew where the UI freezes for one reason or another during long tasks (Installing CIAs mostly). Nobody has managed to figure out why as far as I know.

Freezes are tough to track down, especially since I only have an o3ds, so I can't do any sort of testing to try and duplicate it :(

Hey, could I get some help here?
Does this not work with NASA or something? (FBI doesn't seem to load... just a black screen)
When I install the .cia, it doesn't show up with gridlauncher OR on my homemenu.

Are you running CFW with signature patching?
What type of 3DS do you have?
What firmware version are you on?

Okay, bear with me here. Could you briefly explain what cfw/signature patching is?
I'm running N3DS Version 10.7.0-32U

EDIT: Obviously I am not running CFW if I don't know what it is, but I'm assuming it has something to do with flashcarts? One of those I do not have.

Custom FirmWare, e.g. Luma3DS, Cakes, etc.

The CIAs generated/installed by CIAngel are unsigned, so you must have CFW in order to run them. (That includes CIAngel's .cia as well.)

Use this guide for installing CFW and arm9loaderhax: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/

Note that since you have 10.7, you will need one of the following games on cartridge:
  • Cubic Ninja
  • Freakyforms Deluxe
  • Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (New3DS only)
  • Ocarina of Time 3D + PowerSaves or an already-hacked 3DS
  • Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon + an already-hacked 3DS
  • Pokémon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire + an already-hacked 3DS

Okay, thank you. I will read up on the guide. I have OoT3Dhax.

EDIT: It seems I have to downgrade to install CFW? It says I won't lose anything, but can I be certain? And would my current homebrew boot work in the downgrade?

I haven't personally installed CFW in a while now, so I can't really answer questions pertaining to it. I'd recommend starting a new thread to get help with it though, as it doesn't really relate to CIAngel in itself.

Good point. Thank you for your help anyhow. I might drop it, the risk of bricking is a little too much risk for me.

CIAngel is great. It's simple and to the point. Also i really like the feature of creating .cia files for games, updates, and dlc and also out of region files which i personally like to do.

Hi, there are some games I havent been able to find searching with CIAngel and Freeshop. Is this because they havent been added to the list yet?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
