@TheCruel just one request. Hide the Home Menu Themes DLC warning? Maybe make it an option in settings to have that showing or not? Thanks for any cosideration on this!
FWIW, if you start installing it and instantly cancel it, the icon will go away because even partial DLC installations are marked as installed.

And for me, it marks all as enabled and can be downloaded in theme shop if I want.

If i close the freeshop app in the middle of a download, can i continue downloading the game like a torrent or does the whole thing need to be finished in one go?

I left my 3ds on for about 5 hours downloading a couple of games. Of 16, only 4 finished. Not sure if my internet is just really damn slow or if freeshop is this slow purposely

You can put it in sleep (or just close freeShop) and it should resume the queue when you open it again. If this doesn't happen, it's a bug. There are occassions when freeShop doesn't save the queue properly and it's lost, but usually only when it crashes.

Awesome thanks. So just delete the data in case it happens and try again?

I installed all the Home Menu Themes, and I had to delete 155 of them. after that they work fine.

Interesting. So from this I deduce that you downloaded 255 themes - which is more palatable than the (I'm not exactly sure) maybe 700+ or so that I thought might exist. That scenario would've meant a lot of deletin' time!

It took me 20 minutes. After installing the HM DLC and Opening Theme Manager says something something too much themes, delete 155.

So, 100 is the limit?

I don't think so. They get installed to the 3DS folder which has encryption of some kind. You could use CIAngel instead, and get it to create a CIA file instead of installing directly.
(for purpose of saving bandwidth)
just a lifesaver btw from 3dshacks
download only the tickets of the home menu or you'll have to delete a crap load of themes to get to the one you want. (after it finishes importing the contents cancel download)

<3 love the sort by release date in latest update. You're a legend, thank you.
The only other thing that i can suggest for future update is the option to show how much space is left in our sd card =)

I get my theme ticket deleted if I have to pull up the eShop applet. (purchase while in an app)
If I attempt download something from the shop, an error 009-4911 pops up.

Yeah, Phoenix Wright: Spirit of Justice DLC doesn't work for EUR region. It's probably a temporary problem, but if it remains over the next week I'll probably fix it so it skips the missing content.

I also don't recommend installing all Home Menu Themes. Just start the install and cancel it (which will just keep the ticket installed). Then you can look in the theme shop to see all of them enabled and you can choose to download specific ones. Note: this may not work if you previously purchased a theme already, not sure.

thats cool sir. anyway what is internetbrowser dlc? i saw it when i browse my installed apps in freeshop.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
