Homebrew [Release] freeShop - open source eShop alternative

[Igknotus]

Well, the platform filter is useful, but the publisher filter is a bit too much lol (there are 150 publishers disregarding some exclusive Japanese ones):

I'll probably remove the publisher filter list and just keep it internal, so you can click on the publisher in a game listing and it will filter games with same publisher or something. I'm already pushing the framerate down with the unoptimized rendering I have now.

The development looks nice it seems that the filter list took a lot of work to do.

@TheCruel , I have a slightly better idea for that gui. It'd make it look a bit nicer and reduce the FPS issue. Not sure if you want help with this, but let me know if you do.

Amazing job, this definitely took a lot of hard work
Thank you

This settings panel is excellent. Do you plan to release it when ?

Yes.

Guys, look at this screenshot. There's a bag icon in the top right corner. What could this be? A list of currently owned games maybe?

Yeah, I'm open to ideas for a better layout. Though the FPS issue is mostly because I have some unoptimized text rendering atm, and also the GUI lib I'm using was really meant for the PC (you can tell looking at it) so it's a bit bloated (mouse-wheel events, keyboard input, etc) and will need some 3ds-specific optimizations. But worst case scenario it will be like 15 fps when you have the settings panel open. For now, I think that's fine. Can be improved later.

Yes, actually.

Will list relevant titles on your system. You will eventually be able to remove titles from here and see all titles already installed that have available updates/dlc (assuming you have the titlekeys for them).

 

[TheCruel]

Oh yea, and and settings GUI is skinnable so that will be easy for custom themes later on.

Dude, stop being too awesome!

Maybe Increase the Download Speed?

 

[civickm]

Looks good! Filtering is going to be sweet.

 

[SomeGamer]

Maybe Increase the Download Speed?

It's already quite fast considering the 3DS' limitations.

 

[Goombi]

Maybe Increase the Download Speed?

I'm downloading at about 1000KB on a N3DS, not sure it can be much faster, more a hardware limitation than a freeShop issue.

Shout out to @TheCruel for his amazing job btw, not sure if I already posted here.

Freeshop will download anywhere from 1-15% and then quit downloading. If I open and close the app it will download a little more and then stop. It is also freezing my 3DS requiring a hard reboot. It was fine prior to 1.2.2. I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem could be. My 3DS does not seem to have any other problems with online usage. I have deleted everything and redownloaded fresh files and still nothing.

Also if it does not just stop it will "suspend" the download.

Turned out to be a wifi issue that only my 3DS is experiencing. Phone and tablet are acting normal.

It suspends it when the internet cuts out or something similar, but it sounds like it's failing to resume it when needed. When you close and open the console it forced it to resume. I probably forgot to add auto-retry so it starts back up by itself.

 

[lallilulelo]

Sorry if this has been asked but why can't you download games with the console closed? Do you have any plans or ideas on how to fix it? Could there be an option to not let the console enter "real" sleep mode on a future release so you can close the console?
Also I freaking love your work, man. One of the best things that has come out of the 3ds hacking scene

Yea it never restarts the connection ever, but it also just prevented me from trying to play online with my N3DS coming tomorrow, in which connection would probably drop too. Funny enough it's actually doing fine connected to the router on the other side of my house. 500-700kb/s on freeshop. Seems pretty fine now. Maybe we helped eachother some how?

Great app either way. I await future features, and hopefully DLC.
