Homebrew [Release] freeShop - open source eShop alternative

[CeeDee]

what about DLC and updates?

AFAIK, nope.

Pretty well so far. Some EUR games won't show up for some reason but that aside the listing and information display is pretty cool and you can easily tell what each game is about and what region it is for (plus the size it needs). The download speed isn't bad either.

The only things i'd like to see is ability to reorder the queue, since I have a 50mb game listed after a 3gb one, so i'm gonna have to wait a while. But that's not a big deal. Showing the current space free on the SD would be a nice addition as well.

I only had one freeze for some unknown reason, that forced me to turn off the console and turn it on again. Then the queue had been cleared and i had to search for the games again.

You know that if you leave freeshop installation will not continue,right? This is not like nintendo's eshop. Queue order doesn't matter, you will have to wait for the whole queue to finish before exiting freeshop

i just noticed if i close the led,the download will failed.

 

[CeeDee]

Can anyone try to download "Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure" at all? It always seems to fail for me.

Closing the lid kills the wifi connection to the app, so this is expected. So far I don't believe anyone has figured out a way around this.

Yes, I do leave the console open with the app running (I'm glad Cruel made it turn off the screen as well). My concern with the order of download, although minor, is mostly because of that one freeze I had. Since apparently Freeshop won't save the Queue list if there's a crash, then having the smaller games download first would be "safer" and save some time if the situation happens. But as I said, it's a minor thing.

Are you on a N3DS? It could suffer from the same issue as FBI and CIAngel, in that for some reason longer running processes cause the UI to freeze up, but the install process to continue running.

Indeed. That's certainly possible, though it hasn't happened again since i restarted the queue. To be fair, when the freeze happened I was checking the description of some other games while waiting for the downloads to finish; so I might have caused the 3ds to process more than it could handle at the time.

I'll be adding queue saving, but that obviously could fail in the face of crashes causes by other things. The solution is to fix it so things don't make it crash lol.

Nevermind, i forgot i had filters enabled in shameless.

Sounds weird. I'll check if any other game doesn't show up.

Games that don't show up:
3d after burner II (Eur)
Ecco the Dolphin (Eur)
3D Altered Beast (Eur)
3D Shinobi III (Eur)
3D Fantasy Zone (Eur)
3D Sonic the Hedgehog (Eur)
3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Eur)
3D Space Harrier (Eur)
Paper Mario Sticker Star (Eur)

Thanks. I'll look into that.

Works fine for me on my EU N3DS.
(But I have the same problem when I try to download Animal Crossing JP (とびだせ　どうぶつの森) )

And I have the same problem with oot eur.
Btw thx for your work!! @TheCruel

 

[Corey12901]

So I have an issue that I'm able to reproduce on both my 2ds and 3ds. If the screen goes to sleep while using freeshop and I then later put the system into sleep mode when I open the 3ds or slide the switch on 2ds the screen remains off. Restarting the system it works like normal until I use freeshop again and the screen goes to sleep. 3ds is a9lh luma and 2ds is on emunand luma.

So then te problem is not the games but a issue of freeshop.
Well, it's normal. Let's wait.

"Failed?" at installing Rytmik Ultimate US
I suppose it related to cryptofixing somehow.

Thanks, I think I know what the problem is, will be easy to fix.

If it was cryptofixing, then the game would be installed, you would just be stuck on the 3DS loading screen when launching it. As @Bedel pointed out, it's probably a freeShop bug.

Thank you for your work on this great app!

I think of that because Rytmik is 9.6+ title.

I can't replicate. I just installed it fine (and it runs). Does it fail at the beginning or the end of install?

I really should add better error messages lol

It occurs at ~97% of downloading, I'll try to delete the ticket and'll see if it helps.
