This is a small app i've been working on as a side project. It downloads firmware files from NUS and packages them as CIAs for ease of upgrading/downgrading.

NOTE: since many factory installed titles (and some older titles) aren't available on NUS anymore, this cannot download all titles needed for a complete downgrade or a complete region change.

Attempts to download all available titles for chosen firmware. 404s are skipped. Firmwares are downloaded to /3ds/FirmwareDownloader/updates/<system>_<region>/<firmware_version>.
ctr = Old3DS, ktr = New3DS.

Controls: LEFT/RIGHT move cursor. UP/DOWN change value. START exit from menu.
When downloading, the app doesn't check input again until all titles have been downloaded, so the only way to exit is L+R+DOWN+B (on hax versions that support this).

Has this been thoroughly tested to be confirmed safe? Do they download all the all the CIAs properly and MD5s check out every time? This would be pretty handy if so.

As far as the integrity of the CIA files go, the app uses the same code as make_cdn_cia, so they'll be as safe as any CIA generated with that tool. If there's any discrepancies detected by the make_cdn_cia code, they'll be printed to the screen. I've installed several CIAs downloaded with this tool without problem.

nice work! it would be nice if you implemented some FunkyCIA stuff, like grabbing the ticket.db - then we could make our own cias from store bought stuff :)
although i personally like it on the computer because i can automate it.

plus, tickets can be updated while the contents will still work the same, giving a different hash... so not truly reliable.
have there really been any cias out there that are corrupt but still install, bricking your system? i think it's just people being paranoid - or the installers fault if there are any problems... no?

hi, i'm not sure what i am doing wrong - i tried to compile this both on my mac and then linux (that i just set up right a few hours ago)
i have compiled other homebrews in the past before, so, i'm not sure what the problem with this one is.

the code is straight from the zip that github gave me, i didn't edit anything.
Code: 
user@user-VirtualBox ~/Desktop/FirmwareDownloader-master $ make
