I had never used Villain3ds before, and this version wouldn't download games for me.
It would display a # symbol for all progresses.
Downloading version v0.1.2 fixed my issues.
I'll check this later. If you still can reproduce the problem, a screenshot would be really helpful, and the console log from "developer tool" too (you can find this feature in menubar).

I also get the same error. I built from source too, just in case. Here's whats in the console:
Code:
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'mt-files-downloader'

I downloaded v013 today and when I click on download it does nothing and all I get is a screen that has 'Download Overview' and everything is blank. I used it a couple days ago and everything was OK. Only thing I did today was clean the RAW dir.

I have having the same exact problem with v0.1.3. Would not download and everything on the download Overview screen is blank. I checked my setup and the base path and encTitleKey.bin are both set.

I downloaded v0.1.3-1 and it's still not downloading. I am also using the Windows Villain3DS-v0.1.3-win32-x64 version.
I've just tested the win32-x64 version and everything was fine. The full name must be "villain3ds-v0.1.3-1-win32-x64.7z", are you sure? Did the screenshot and console log look like #325?

Must be something wrong with my previous version. I deleted the whole folder and extracted the new v0/1/3-1 and now it's working again. Thanks.

It looks amazing! May I ask you if you can add the possibility of connecting though a proxy? In my case it is enough an HTTP proxy, with username, password, and a specific port. It would be nice for all those users who adopt a VPN solution. Many thanks in advance for receiving this simple feature request.

It sounds a little complicated, but I'll try.

I downloaded some cias through Villain3DS last night and quite a few of them either failed to install through FBI or failed to boot once installed. For example, I'd really like to play the Japanese version of Yokai Watch. For some reason it doesn't appear on freeShop but it does on Villain3DS. Is there another step beyond downloading the cia through Villain?

Thank you

Sorry for my late reply. If your installed cias failed to boot (arm9 exception), read the faq at post #1 for how to fix it. If cias failed to install (fbi says something like hash check or cetk verification failed), then those cias file are corrupted.

Hello,

Im new with the 3DS CFW and I have a question about the installed games, what if there is is update available, do I have to download the update in Villan3ds, or can I do this directly on the 3DS?

Thank you!

Just install the update directly with eShop, because it's more convenient & doesn't pollute your ticket.db. Unless you want to update out-region titles.
Are there any differences of using this over Wii U usb help?
Villain3ds is built on different platform (Villain3ds is built on JS/HTML/CSS, while WiiU USB Helper is built on C#), more focus on 3DS users, and maybe it has a nicer/more simple GUI and faster. than WiiU USB Helper. Give it a try and see if you like it.

Don't I get banned when I update via the eShop?
