Two things I couldn't figure out yet:

a) is there any way to see which region I'm selecting? For example if searching for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate you'll get two different entries, one would be US and one EUR I presume but I can't tell which one is which.
b) Why are there not all games from eshop in there? For example Yo-Kai Watch EUR isn't in there, only US. But that's also with CIAngel. What is the system behind that, why are newer titles not in there? What is needed for them to appear?

Not YET. ;)

A user who bought the game needs to upload that title's titlekey.

Crypto seeds were introduced around FW 9.6 and not all games have them.
So if I've downloaded that Amiibo app and I retrieved a seed with FBI, can I make a CIA which I can just install without having to manually import the seed?

But I've seen many CIAs that I could just install.
You can decrypt a CIA file using Decrypt9, which removes the need for the seed entry, that's probably what you're thinking of.

In regards to b, the database used by CIAngel, FreeShop, Shameless, etc contains user contributed titlekeys (The key required to install the game). Until someone buys the game on the eShop, and contributes the titlekey to the database, the games are not available.

If you use CIAngel/FunKeyCIA to create an actual CIA file, you can then use a seeddb.bin file and Decrypt9 to create a decrypted CIA file that doesn't require the seeddb entry to install/run.

Would adding and reading the the seeddb.bin file to the same path as encTitleKeys.bin make >9.5 games work properly?
TheCruel will be adding seeddb stuff, as he's already said, it's just not in the first release. I doubt it will require a seeddb.bin file, as the seed keys are freely available from Nintendo's servers.

OK, I think I did it (there were four CIA decrypt options). Is there any way I can remove the seeddb entry to check?

This works good. Glad that this and ciangel exist. Makes getting games much easier. Used this to install super mario bros deluxe. Nice to use this to install games and ciangel to install and or keep games in .cia form. Doesnt look like this has game updates and dlc atm.

I'm not sure if there's any clean way to. I personally just blow away the system savedata for SEEDDB, but I can't recommend that for general users :)

Made a few logo concepts.

Uses amiibo font, which is available for tweaking easily.

And alternatively, the same font used by the official logo - which isn't publicly available, I had to modify images on the web to make this work. I prefer the other one, personally.
