@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

You knew what I meant :-p Cool thanks. Hopefully the seller responds soon and four swords will be available in a week or two :-)

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
