Since I removed the encryption part, the server needs some rework. You do need me to serve the JSON file so you can read it directly with LiteFoil. I will also improve the application so it can download and update itself using the GitHub soon.

What makes this superior to AeroFoil/CyberFoil?

Nor Superior, nor Inferior, just different. :)


I updated the server to allow thousands of files being served.

aa, I have better queue.. and LiteFoil is able to access Google Drives (or any cloud) encrypted with RCLONE. So, you can have your data encrypted and safe and use it to install directly. :)

Well, I created a utility named nfi (similar to https://github.com/garoxas/NX_Game_Info), but with added support for checking NSZ, and XCZ files (NSP/NSZ/XCI/XCZ). The original tool does not support compressed files. Additionally, I reimplemented it in Go, so it can be compiled for multiple platforms. I have attached the Linux (AMD64/ARM64) and Windows versions here, along with a simple manual in PDF format. This could help to create a more organized structure for LiteServer.

Get that git repo up, I'm having to tussle with Sphaira and Ownfoil code to serve my use case, it'd be nice if I could contribute to this one.

Any ideia another place instead of github.com that I could do it? Because my account was limited... no specific reason (I think someone just reported me, for unknown reason).

Some corrections for the icons.

You could host your own gitlab instance in a VPS, or just plain SSH, which is all git uses anyway.

There are also some dark web options, as well as some Russian hosts.
We had a topic about it in the forums a few months ago, I'll see later if I can find it.

Okay, thanks.

In the mean time, LiteFoil v22.5.11 now has icons, Grid and List mode and, finally, touch mode!

I liked the titledb from Blawar and others that I found online. I was able to create a DB with all 17 thousand icons for all games inside a database with only 234Mb (if you want to download and use it, here is the link (it's not encrypted, so you could use it in any application you want). :)

List mode:



Grid Mode:

Developers worldwide from all kinds of project backgrounds, ranging from software to hardware, have gone through a history of different ways to manage their resources and source codes for their projects, be it operating systems, drivers, office and industry applications, media software, and even entire videogames and emulators.

For those around in the coding world decades ago, developers relied on things like SVN (Subversion), CVS (Concurrent Versions System) for source code versioning control, and places like Google Code (which has been defunct since 2016) to...

Awesome, thanks, I will take a look.

In the mean time, here is the version 22.5.12. Changes:

- Catalog decoupled from AppDB.
- AppDB downloads blocked in applet mode.
- Actual download speed displayed in the header.
- Support for files and resumes larger than 2 GB using stat() when using Google Drive, to speedup.

Aha! I solved a problem with nxgameinfo and older nfi that are not able to read the names from NSP and XCI files with the new NACP file format and show the name as a '?'. It's solved now.

I attached the new nfi (v1.1.3) that supports the new format correctly.

I tried to use a remote server, but while LiteFoil can access it, there is a JSON parsing error every time ("Remote index was saved, but JSON could not be parsed"). Considering it hasn't crashed and burned (HOS/application crash), I assume it isn't due to using Memory Kit to skip loading WebKit/browser to memory?

I noticed that Breeze/EdiZon had issues downloading anything and can only assume it was due to that, but in this instance, downloads work (index downloaded), but parsing doesn't. Does this client use WebKit to parse JSON? Or is this a different bug entirely?
