I have noticed that sometimes a patched demo will stop having unlimited uses and revert to whatever it was before. The only way I can fix is to keep reinstalling it which is very annoying. Is there any way to prevent that from happening?

i noticed that too with something when i was testing around when i first made the patch... weird. i have no idea why it happens, i didn't test enough to find out.
the other way to remove the play limit in the game is to decrypt it and edit a file, the exheader i believe.
or, edit the nand save file where your current play count is stored - i forget if i succeeded in that... i think i did :)

but for most people, installing demos is a minor thing, why not install the full game if you can install the demo via hacks?

Because some demos give you bonuses in the full game if you complete them. The demo in question is Bravely Default as the other two (MH4 and Pokemon ORAS didn't have a limit, at least the .cia versions I redownloaded via funkycia didn't).

The bonus items are the reason for installing the patched demo even though i can just install the full game (which i have already done)

i mean, i don't think having bonus items is the reason the play limit gets reset. maybe though, but i think it's a coincidence

@cearp

So i noticed something about the latest Pokémon games (red/blue/yellow)
- There regionfree (US/EU have at least the same TitleID and game serial
- After installing the US versions on my EU 3DS and then going to the eShop to fix the download and checked i could play them, i wiped the games with Devmenu
- Going back into the eShop i don't see the games listed as redownloadable, but just like the Legit cia's search the game and it says redownload instead of buy.

Could it be that the eShop versions are the same as the pre-installed versions and miss the console specific identifier a normal eShop game has?
I know a non legit cia, once installed and removed, you can't even redownload, only possible with a legit cia.

@DjoeN no I think non legit stuff you can redownload, but the problem is that it is a bad idea because if the cia was not made with FunkyCIA then the title key will be incorrect because the contents were decrypted and somupon redownloading it will not install because the cdn files cant be decrypted.
but, it is always possible to redownload, at least attempt it, as long as you have the ticket.
i doubt the normal eshop purchase gives you a universal ticket :)

and yes, i didnt think it would be the case, i assumed a different title id, but if the eur and usa title id is the same, sure it makes sense that it works fine for you :)

Is there any way to force funkycia to either choose a different duplicate ticket to ignore or to turn off the duplicate ticket function entirely? I think a duplicate ticket for dlc is causing funkycia to use the older version of the eshop ticket from sysnand, rather than the newer version of the eshop ticket created by emunand.

it should choose the most recent ticket if you have duplicates.
but why do you think this is a problem?
older version of eshop tickets, this is bad? you can use an old ticket, it's ok.

The issue I am having is that the older version is not capturing all of the dlc I bought (using the nopatchdlc flag), rather it is only capturing the dlc purchased before emunand was created.

well the dlc list is stored in the tmd that is fetched from nintendo, many people have gotten new dlc using an old ticket. each time you run FunkyCIA you get the newset tmd.
I'm not sure if this is your problem, or what is.
what game is it?

Interesting, that shouldn't be a problem then. The game is Fire Emblem Awakening. So nopatchdlc checks the tmd list to see what I have purchased?

I can tell you it isn't a game issue, as Fire Emblem Awakening works with nopatchdlc. Cearp added the feature when I asked for it (Thanks for that btw ^^) around when this came out so I can confirm it works.

it doesn't check, I don't know how to interpret the values lol, it just maxes it out and unlocks it all. that is done in the ticket. the tmd is read when actually downloading the dlc. only this game has a problem? usa game and console?

Usa game and region changed console (dlc purchased on us console). Without nopatchdlc everything is downloaded and available to play, with nopatchdlc everything appears to be downloaded but only the old sysnand dlc is available to play.

Now that I think about it I do remember having issues with nopatchdlc cias being functional on an out-of-region system. I'm not sure if that was ever fixed or not.

region changed console... interesting.
i asked because, on my jp console, i have eur awakening.
i installed the eur dlc... but it didn't show up...
until i used gw to spoof the console region to english. (lucky guess)
and the dlc showed up :) after that the dlc was always there, no spoof needed.

if you have gw try that, or ntr's spoofer.
it should work.
