Not sure if anyone else had the same problem, but a few games I downloaded wouldn't run and just we're stuck on the loading screen. I guess it downloaded the ticket as well so I just redownloaded it from the eShop and they worked fine.

The game probably has an extra layer of encryption, and you get the key just by visiting the eShop page. If it's an out of region game, you will need to get your hands on a seeddb.bin file that contains the key for that game, and decrypt the CIA with Decrypt9 before install.

I gotta start leaving that in my clipboard.

Maybe ask @cearp to put it on the release page.

@Drakia is one of the main contributors to this. I'm pretty sure they are already working on the issue.
I'm aware, but cearp is in charge of the repository, Drakia just does a lot of work for it, but he has to submit it in a pull request before it gets added. He doesn't have the ability to add anything to the release page. Only cearp can do that.

Actually cearp gave me direct access to the repo a while ago, all of the 0.77 commits were merged by me :)
I however don't have access to the first post on this thread, and people will rarely if ever actually look at the README on GitHub ;)

Is there a good tutorial for decrypting a CIA with Decrypt9 available? I tried it and it always fails.

Stop the bullshit.

Violating the law, even just civil law, is still illegal.

Willfully violating copyright is often a criminal offense. I mean seriously, have you never played a DVD in your life?

He kinda sounds like one of those "freeman of the land" types who doesn't acknowledge certain laws :)

But yes, breaking copyright law is indeed breaking the law ;)

Incorrect on both accounts. The laws you cited are in regards to the unauthorized distribution of a product. THAT is in fact a criminal offense. "Criminal copyright infringement" refers to distributing a product, not using it for yourself. The definition of "distribution" is obvious and doesn't need an explanation. The definition of "reproduction" means to produce a "look alike" copy (AKA burning the product to a CD, VHS, or so on) that could be confused for the real thing (e.g. a bootleg copy). Personal piracy is and always will be a civil matter.

I seriously recommend you actually read the things you cite before rudely slapping them in someone's face (doubly so if that individual is a lawyer and knows their way around this stuff to make a living). Regardless, this is off topic, and I apologize for it in advance.

If you want to get really technical though, Drakia, Cearp, and anyone else involved in the making of CIAngel are liable to the crime of criminal copyright. Anyone else who uses the program is not (unless they use it to distribute games or make bootleg copies).

Hmm, by your own definition we actually aren't, we neither host nor distribute any copyrighted material. Nintendo hosts the content, we retrieve the database of questionably copyrightable titlekeys from a third party source, which neither of us hosts.

Actually with the new release of FBI there's a simpler way I forgot about. Using the latest FBI, go to the Titles submenu, select the game, and choose the seed option. It's like magic

It's more along the lines providing individuals with a tool that in effect makes you responsible for piracy. It's much like how someone who drives the getaway car for a robbery or murder can be charged with robbery or murder because they, in effect, committed the crime too.

It's more of a gray zone though, really, but it's far more of a "gray zone" than someone who uses the program.

I was thinking is there a way to make the file into read only after downloading the DLC to prevent the Eshop from removing the DLC content.

that's a cfw issue, maybe they could stop the deletion.
ps3 cfw has similar deletion prevention patches, i wish 3ds cfw too

Not as far as I'm aware, no.

It would require some sort of modification to the eShop itself most likely, I'm not sure if any CFW would go to that level of searching to patch something like that. It would also end up having repercussions for people legitimately trying to purchase DLC.

Would this still work for me even though I downloaded the recent firmware update Ver. 11.0.0-33U because I'm currently unable to access my homebrew with ironfall.

This requires CFW with signature patching to be able to utilize the installed games. So without that, probably not.

So I basically have to wait for homebrew to be available again. updating the firmware was the only way for me to access the eshop.
