@cearp @Drakia I notice that Zelda Four Swords is not available on that title key database. If I bought a DSi with Four Swords on it and transferred it to my new 3DS, and uploaded my title.db to the database, would that make it available to others? Or would it have to be the version that was available to download on 3DS briefly in 2011?

uploaded your title.db? that's a very different file :)
if you uploaded your keys though yes the list should get updated...
if you do it that method you should be fine yes

if you are buying dsi just for this, please don't, honestly i could get the key for you if you are desperate, the cias uploaded on those sites will likely contain the real key because they would have been made with FunkyCIA

I have a legitimate four swords. I've had it for quite a while. It was added to that site but apparently they never posted the key. Quantum I'll probably be getting in contact with you shortly by PM with that key to test if you are in the USA region.

Are some of the tickets available to us broken? I noticed that Super Smash Bros. will ultimately fail on every chance I have to install it. Some others I've tried will fail on me too. Can anyone tell me what I can do if I encounter a problem installing a game from the CDN with CIAngel?

CIAngel relays on keys that people have shared. Sometimes these keys are incorrect and there's not a whole lot that can be done about this except for people to wait for these keys to be fixed.

yes, the key shared could be wrong - or you have a bad ticket with the bad key on your system - if you installed some cia you found from online. you could remove it with fbi

Hmm.. Yeah that makes a lot of sense actually..
I'll delete the ticket when I have a chance and then I'll try it again.
Um, when you install a CIA directly from CIAngel does it install the ticket as well? Or do I need to create the ticket from within the program first?
Sorry, I shouldn't have approached all of this with mere assumptions of how everything works lol

Well, took me long enough, but I have some small bits of feedback (which I don't doubt have been addressed already, this is more of a "add it to the pile" post). I guess, firstly, scrolling titles for the currently selected file would be my primary concern, though I will admit picking out updates from the full titles isn't impossible, just really annoying (CTR-U-AJRE, which is an update, versus CTR-N-AJRE for example). Another way to combat these kinds of issues could be another filter, such as 'Updates Only', if possible. Being able to edit the Download Queue would be another handy feature. Cancelling downloads is another, though I like the method @pbanj suggested :P . Lastly, being able to choose the directory where the .CIA files are downloaded to would be great, in case users wish to decrypt/fiddle with them right away. At the very least it will save some people an extra trip to CTRXplorer.

yeah i think the product code will be repaced by the type of content it is, although the ui should be changing in a little while anyhow from the works of a contributor, but yes it won't stay like that don't worry :)
you mean saving to the decrypt9 game folder, i think most people won't want to do stuff like that, it would be tricky letting the user select where they want to save etc, but yes it's possible

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol

    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
