thanks

IF i have them both installed how does this affect game downloads? will my current games and saves stay intact?

Also do CIAangel and freeshop both install games to the actual console or the SD card?

And i read about opening the actual nintendo eshop and games showing as installed and being able to officially update, could someone please help and explain all this?

They are two different apps that do the same thing, install games to the SD card. They will not affect your previously installed games. They will not interfere with each other. Read my reply in the freeshop thread to your last question.

I use CIAngel, but I helped write it, so of course I'm kinda biased.

ha fair comment!

thanks for your help i think ill give both a try.

One more thing, in free shop it shows as DLC available to download for certain games? do i just click the download image and they install? i know that sounds basic but i was just asking incase there is something i shouldn't do to damage my setup?

You'll want to ask in the FreeShop thread. Far as I know you won't damage anything.

Are there any plans to add sleep mode downloading now that it has been figured out?
I don't have the time these days. Not sure about cearp

I went with CIAngel since the start and after all the freeshop story I'm happy I went with this one. I think it is great as it is, even if things can always improve.

Hi, i need help. Whenever i press a game to download, its says ticket installed and nothing else. Usually it would download the CIA nd would show me how long and how much is done but it only says ticket installed. Can anyone help me?

Make sure that at the bottom of the top screen "Mode" is set to "Install CIA". If not, press L until it shows up.
Probably yours is set to "Create ticket"

If you just downloaded them, they are inside the CIAngel folder. You have to install them for them to show up on your home menu.
I meant to say install, the same thing still happens, i go to the "install cia region" section, search for "UX" (because most of the srw title is in japanese) scroll down to the right game, i hit install, it says "loading __ out of 49", it finishes, i got to the home menu and it isn't there.

And what exactly is the type listed as? Because my guess is you're either downloading an update, or DLC, considering the game does not exist in the titlekey database

Ahhh ok, just checked all 3 games and the "games" were all dlc. Thank you for the help, but still disappointing that I can't play them :o/

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
