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.
okay great! thank you, ill try that out
one question though, when you did this, did you lose your game saves or was everything back to where you left it?

Anyone having problems with freeshop 2.1 freezing when using custom music for it? I can't get passed (Loading game list...) when using a ogg file.

Then I think I will reconsider using it , That means we are literally stealing it from Nintendo , If it has own server then it's OK for me
Keeping copyrighted content on a server for people to download is a million times worse. That is distributing pirated content. The way freeShop works, it just enables people to pirate if they so wish but does nothing illegal itself. Same as torrent websites and torrent clients. If any of those torrent websites ever hosted any of the files themselves and were in a country where they could be prosecuted, the owners would be in jail before they could blink. So, it's much better how it is!!!
And anyway, if you're worried about it - if someone leaves their car door unlocked in a bad neighbourhood with an iPad and a wallet on the front seat in plain view and they get stolen - you feel a little sorry for them but it's really their fault. And what about when they leave the door unlocked and put more money in the wallet every night? They kind of deserve it then, if they're that incompetent.

yeah but flash cards arent illegal them selfs yet flash cards are illegal in some countrys because they allow piracy to happen only some one dumb would not know how to get the title keys on the freeshop meaning the freeshop allows for people to easy pirate its why consoles like the 3ds don't normally allow you to install what ever app you want unless you have cfw because of piracy

Try a smaller OGG just to see if it's a size issue. The music code atm isn't that great. It loads the whole track into RAM and can easily exceed limits. freeShop 2.1 uses a little bit more RAM than previously, so I'm guessing your music went over the limit. I'll redo the BGM code eventually.

I've got a quick question: why is FreeShop using "encTitleKeys.bin" instead of "json_enc"? I noticed that some newer titles (ie Picross 3D Round 2) are in the json version only.
CIAngel is using the json version, so I could download it but it doesn't show in FreeShop, which is really better, particularly since the latest update.

I doubt is much of a difference since they both use the same function. I would assume is all from the same source.:unsure:

Is two seperate formats, but all one master file anyway :P

I've just downloaded the json and the bin versions 10 minutes ago.
Picross 3D Round 2 is in the json, but not the bin (I used D.T.K. Takes Keys to view the bin, and also Shameless).

Edit: but I know it's from the same source, so if there is a diff it's an error from their side, or maybe one is updated more often, don't know.

It just takes time to get everythin functional. I assume since it is different files they have different purpose for the homebrew. Perhaps Json, is easier to update and takes priority over enctitlekeys file. Who knows? Perhaps ask the site manager?

It's in the key file probably, but if the info is not also in the cache, freeShop cannot show the game. I just updated the cache now. So restart freeShop and it will update it.

EDIT: Cache was missing 5 titles, including the Picross 3D one

Ok so only updating the bin file is not enough to see new games on Freeshop.
What is the cache purpose then?

Edit: indeed I can see it now thanks, but only the demo.

    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous
    +3
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol
    +3
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted
    +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
