Added:
- version news log
- language support with Portuguese translation. More languages soon™!
- save buttons for filters.
- timeout and buffer size to Download Settings so users can adjust to better fit various speeds of internet connection.
- C-Pad to scroll games and holding keys keeps it scrolling.
- Can choose to play sound or power off console after queue finishes.
- Can disable screen sleep mode in settings.

Fix:
- bug when restarting failed installs.
- download suspension and timeouts for people with slower connection.

Changed:
- Swapped shopping bag and game controller icons.
Absolutely digging the update! Just tested it out by downloading a game real quick and the notification sound and screen dim options are working wonderfully! I also love the new changelog dialogue! It has a really nice logo, too! It would be neat to see that logo elsewhere, like on the banner and intro image maybe? Just a thought!

The sorting function is working really well too! I am just astonished at how well the program has developed. One wee little bug in the latest version though is that scrolling up or down with the circle pad also changes the currently selected game on the top screen. It is just a cosmetic kink, so it isn't really an issue, but I thought I'd mention it nonetheless! Keep up the awesome work, man! :grog:

Unless it has a different title id, it will overwrite the game install data with a new one. (Also your save data will be gone too)
If you for some reason want multiple games, you have to edit titile id.

Maybe this is already was mentioned, but I found, that you can't clear search filter (when you type using keyboard).
Well, you can, but you need to search again and use "space" and "backspace"/"cancel".

Also, is there a chance, that there will be added possibility to make cia files instead of installing (for backup or manual installing)?

Thanks. I did notice the cpad issue with scroll game info. I didn't bother fixing it since I'm going to be changing the whole game info screen to make it look nicer, and it will be scroll with touchscreen like everything else.

You can press B, but freeShop controls aren't well-documented.

I've discussed this and decided no. People should use FunKeyCIA for that imo.

I can translate to spanish. Thanks for that awesome software and support!
Thanks. Anyone wanting to help with translation, I will be making a separate thread shortly to describe what's needed and the process to do it.

That would work. I've never done a system transfer, so not sure if there is an easier way.
I tried using JKSM to back up the save data on my sd card, but it wasn't showing using the application. I found a quote about restoring the CIAs and the saves from a member named Kyojin

"What you can do, though, is performing a regular system transfer. AFAIK, your apps, games and saves (pretty much the data that is on the SD card, encrypted) will be successfully transferred. You'll just need to partially reinstall the CIAs of the games to have them back (i.e. it won't be a full install, since the data will be already on the SD card)."

How do i partially reinstall a cia?

I have a question , does this download games from the nintendo servers or has it's own servers . I sure love downloading free games but I don't want to hack into nintendo servers and steal them. That will be literally called stealing , sorry if that is harsh

I'm not sure if this is what cruel meant, but when i tried to redl usign freesghop it told me it was already installed. Installing the ticket with ciangel let me use the games again.

EDIT: Also, Triforce Heroes completely stop downloading when it gets around 90%. I still have enough storage, so idk what's wrong with it. But at least I've download it succesfully using CIAngel.
I downloaded the free-to-play YuGiOh through CIAngel a few weeks ago, and its DLC yesterday on freEshop. It received the datas perfectly. (the game works)
About Triforce Heroes, I got it through CIAngel several months ago to test it, it worked, the first levels too. I can't say anything beyond that because it was rapidly erased.

Woah! How did you download the game? There wasn't an option to type in different languages.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Most things I can find resulting to a ban is save-editing reasons, like Pokehex, etc, and going online afterwards.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm almost certain fucking Google fibers modems blocking out PPPoE signals
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like the 6th time I had to reboot this router trying to get PPPoE active
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ken, your hamster inside it is hungry. Can't you turn POE on/off in your WiFi settings page? Or is it not staying on?

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I own every of my games legit with their own cartridges
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It only gives a internet settings option then it spazes out
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Under ipv4/6
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like I need to touch @Sicklyboy rack to make it work at this point
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file(s) would never be created first in an emulator
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Do you think continuing the story on the emulator would flag the save file as illegal? (Again no cheats, etc will take place, only normal story of the game progress)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But still using the save on a emulator, then back to switch is shady
    +2
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Yea, that's the only thing I want to clarify actually. If someone has tried it with no problems.
    +1
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    If using the save on the emulator flags the save file. :/
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Again, "using" I mean normal gameplay not modify it with other means like pokehex, etc
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Can you help me clarify this thing somehow? Do you know someone that may know or have tried it?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just play it on the emulation at home and portable use the normal save, I wouldn't risk anything if online is important to you
