So I've been using this with no itches for a while, with big files too

Suddenly now it seems to be stopping the download with most big files and failing to install. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting the temp folder, etc. but it seems to keep having this problem

it's a new 3ds xl

Again this feels weird, cause it has been very smooth up until now

Nintendo is doing server maintenance right this very moment

Yea, like for an official thing. A lot easier to not focus on how long it takes to download; not to mention I have to imagine it'd be easier on battery life.
If you want to download it Sleep mode, cancel the download after a few percent (close the lid) then browse for the game on the eShop and you'll be able to choose Redownload. You can then have it download in Sleep mode.

Question what is stopping Nintendo from simply blacklisting all of these keys?
the content depends on the keys. they would have to reencrypt everything. (each content uses the same key)
it's not like you upload YOUR key for the game... you upload THE key for the game.

Any reason why installing the smash DLC doesn't give me the option to redownload the DLC within the smash dlc store? I have a retail cart if it matters.

we can't redownload dlc. but at least we can still pirate it :)

I mean, I tried to and my understanding was once you install the dlc pack through ciangel you go into the dlc shop within Smash and you have the option to "redownload" the DLC. That's how it was on my cousin's 3ds, anyway. Not sure why it won't work on mine.

In my case, I have the DLC cia that I downloaded from CIAngel stored in a folder on my SD card. I install the cia using FBI and once the game boots the DLC just shows up. The only things I downloaded are the Smash Bros. game itself, the latest eShop update, and the DLC. I have to reinstall the DLC every time visit the eShop, though (has this been fixed/will it ever be?)

That's the opposite of what you should do. Any time you access the in-game DLC shop the DLC gets wiped since it does server side checks.

There is no known way to stop this from happening.

I thought that's how it was supposed to be because my cousin's was like that, but he downloaded his dlc yesterday during the maintenance when the servers were crapping out and he got near the end of the installation and it said installation failed but it let him redownload off the in game store.

Just install the DLC via CIAngel and check if the game installed it. No need to check the game store

Yep will give that a shot in a bit, thanks.

An unrelated question: does reinstalling a cia multiple times leave duplicate tickets on the system? And would that cause a problem?

No, both tickets and titles are unique. If you install a title that already exists, it overwrites the previous, same with tickets.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
