Great app, but I think I found an issue - I tried to download Radiohammer (after deleting my eshop version) to test it out, and the download seems to go fine. But when I try to launch it the game bootloops. Is this because I have a legit ticket installed, or a bug in the program?


EDIT: It happens w/ smash controller as well.
If you are using n3DS it needs to be cryptofixed. go to fbi and import seed into your title

Isn't this a little sketchy? Or is it safe to use? I mean its straight up downloading from Nintendo's eShop servers. Or is it pretty much the same as just manually installing random cias with FBI just with a lot more convenience ? I was planning on getting this for my lil brother but I have some doubts.

Nintendo can do something about it, if they wanted to, but they haven't yet and most likely won't.

I guess it just uses your IP address to download titles so it's pretty safe. I'll probably try it out sometime when it can distinguish games by region. It still sounds sketchy tho lol

Time to test the auto-updater!
I made some changes and released freeShop 1.1
Just open up freeShop and it should update itself. Let me know if it fails.
https://github.com/Cruel/freeShop/releases/tag/1.1
  • Screens sleep after 30 seconds of inactivity.
  • Added icons to show game region
  • Added crypto-fixing
  • Download speeds faster (up to 35%+)

It's updating :)
Thanks!

It's great to know what region it is now, thanks to the flags, looking good!
Keep up the good work!

AMAZING WORK!

Perhaps, though, you could either extend the sleep time to 1-2mins or just dim it instead of turning the whole thong black?

Heh, there might be a bug if you update it without using the auto-updater. It will auto-update and install the new version every time you launch it (thinking it's old version).

Fix for now: delete your sdmc:/freeShop/config.json file

I'll issue a new 1.1 build that might fix this, but this shouldn't affect anyone.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
