Well the code is up there just doesn't compile.
The compile instructions are in OP, and I always make sure it does compile: https://travis-ci.org/Cruel/freeShop

The problem is that it has several dependencies you need to install or compile too. Also probably a couple additional step for Windows compiling, but I don't have Windows to test that out.

Heh.

By the way, if you want to get the updater ready for 2.0 (for those who may still want to use it), freeShop will be changing directories a bit. You'll want to save key file to sdmc:/3ds/data/freeShop/keys/

But still not sure when the update will be done. Spent all my coding time today just fixing some http code and adding some more httpc stuff to ctrulib, so didn't get much freeShop stuff done lol. Though I guess there should be fewer freezes while downloading things (added timeouts) and that helps freeShop ultimately. I think most freezes while fetching game info (or fetching cache update) was due to this.

@TheCruel I was looking more in depth on how to get this compiled on windows (I know you havent gotten around to that yet), but I might have figured out. I have one thing missing though the source is looking for. Maybe you can help getting this compiled on windows?
https://github.com/cpp3ds/cpp3ds

Unless of course this is purely linux, which means this wont ever compile on windows I assume..

Edit: Yeah ok, it requires some dependencies using apt-get, which doesnt seem to work on windows. I would think compiling CPP3DS is not possible then. In which case, is there an installable of CPP3DS for windows (Readily compiled)?

@TheCruel It would be possible to add some function to withdraw the games already installed the list of downloads. Without the need to tighten the X to remove the item from the list.

Nice, thanks. Is it also possible for you to PM me the banner.bin (and the icon.png)? Some people have been asking for a release with the freeShop banner.

I deleted my savedata of Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask plus with freeshop by mistake,
the 30 hours of gameplay becomes nothing,I even regret having upload the titlekeys of my games now.
The game shouldn't have been on the freeshop without my uploading.

I can't understand why the freeshop want to delete savedatas, the system should have options to remain it .

What does your deletion have to do with your upload? These are 2 completely different things oO

@TheCruel : Are there any plans or deadliones for the release of 1.3 (I really am waiting for this, as I absolutely LOVE your app =D)

When I am looking at the result of my uploading in freeshop, I mean, finding the game that showed up in freeshop,
using ntr cfw taking a screenshot,I actually hit A,then the freeshop redownloaded the game,and deleted my savedata.

If I didn’t upload the decrypt title keys,that game won't even show up in freeshop,
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask Plus is a game exlusive to Japanese eshop,which I bought 3days ago, when it was on a sale.

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
