Homebrew [Release] freeShop - open source eShop alternative

[duffmmann]

So if I use this instead of the eShop, when I return to the home menu, will the home menu recognize the themes I had installed as .cia, remove them, thus forcing me to reinstall my themes through FBI like the real eShop does, or will my custom themes stay up leaving me with no need to keep having to reinstall my themes every time I leave the shop?

this is just another homebrew, it won't mess up themes and dlc etc like eshop does.

Woot! I've noticed people say that accessing the eshop messes up DLC, but that's never been true for me, I've checked multiple times and my DLC still stays anytime I enter and exit the eShop, themes would always need to be reinstalled though. Great to hear that this is a way around that issue.

Thats only if you have a bit of DLC and pirate the rest

For example; legitimately own Sm4sh Lucas, Cloud, Roy, and Mewtwo.
I pirate the rest
If I sign in with my NNID, the DLC gets corrected back to just Lucas, Cloud, Roy, and Mewtwo, rather than letting me keep Bayonetta, Ryu, and Corrin (luckily you dont have to sign in to Sm4sh online)

well it is a way around the issue simply because it is piracy and basically installing cias.
i wouldn't say it is a remedy for stopping eshop removing your themes/dlc - because eshop still does. this is just a tool that makes it easy to pirate.
you could download cias on your computer and install with devmenu on the 3ds, but that is not really a solution to the dlc getting removed when you go to eshop.
if you want to buy stuff and not pirate you still need to use eshop.

Never said remedy, just said, way around the issue, which it is. With an application like this, there is no need to use the eshop (for the way that I've been using it), haven't actually bought anything off eshop in a very very long time.

@cearp @TheCruel i have a question: does CIAngel and FreeShop block installing of out of your own region tickets?

No, of course not.

I have a request
Could you add theme support into this?
I mean, themes for freeshop.

Does this require custom firmware?

 

[Nabix]

Does this require custom firmware?

Yeah. Because it installs games for you.

People seem to forget that piracy is wrong.

You ARE aware of this site's history, no?

Wrong. I bought the Cloud, Mewtwo, and Ryu DLC, but the pirated DLC still got deleted when going to the SSB DLC shop.

@TheCruel Not promoting piracy, but its completely fine to put in title keys if you have any legal concern.

You practically reworded what I said. lol

Wording what I said like you did, Ive bought Lucas, Mewtwo, Roy, and Cloud, yet I lose all my pirated DLC when I enter the DLC shop (or sign in with my NNID in general )

Oh, derp. I misread what you said.

 

[supermario18]

Will this allow you to download games that have been taken off of the eshop?

 

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

Looks nice though I didn't see anyway to tell what region the game is.
