It's not impossible, just not something I've looked too much into. Looking at the code he has for it though, it should be doable in the CIA version atleast, not sure it'll work in the 3dsx version.
Just thought I would bring it to attention as a possible thing to help bring more potential to CIAngel.

Story of Seasons (USA) didn't have an encrypted title key until recently. Apparently that happens on the database we use, I'll open an issue to add some sort of check to not include titles missing encrypted keys.

I see, I have noticed some games just aren't there, but that one was yet didn't work, found it strange since everything else I've downloaded works lol. Thanks for the reply, clears up my confusion.

Hello, I really like your application. It's really awesome, but I have a problem.
DSiWare games don't work for me. They always give me the
Code:
An error has occured.
(etc.)
screen.
I tried it with WarioWare: Touched! and Calculator, and they both crashed the system.
I'm using the wings.json I downloaded today. I'm on 11.0 EUR, and using Luma3DS CFW.

Yeah, I didn't realize the file was sending out games without titlekeys in it, it will be fixed in the next release :)

Hmm, I'm getting the same thing, no idea why though...

*Edit - Seems to only happen sometimes, most often seems to be when installing a title that already exists I think? Going to open a GitHub issue.

It does appear the games actually get installed and can be run though :)

@Drakia do you have plans on supporting japanese/chinese characters? Actually jp games names looks like that :

џç┤џû▒πâàπâ╝âπé┑ Ver. 1.0.1 џû▒π (JPN) CTR-U-BRAJ

Also, could you add a "list all titles" function (it would be great since we can't type japanese names)? Don't know if I can suggest that on github so I post here. [/background]

Github is the preferred method of making suggestions, since it's easier to track than the forum. Just open an issue.

In regards to Unicode characters, the console library we use for printing text doesn't support them, but superbudvar is working on a new frontend that will. The keyboard however still won't have those characters on it. You can try searching for just the space character and to should show almost everything

Alright I'll do that.
The problem is that there's no space in many/most Japanese games names, so listing all titles would be the best solution.

As a complete newbie who's never modded his 3DS, and is going to try later today, I have a very basic question: Do you extract CIAngel to the root of the SD card, and are there any other files you have to move or alter to make it work?

CIAngel works best when installed as a CIA on your home screen. You would use another application like FBI to install it. No files besides the CIA being installed are required to get started.

If we listed all titles, you'd have to scroll through ~2200 titles looking for the garbled text that represents your game, I think that would lead to more questions than it answers :) I may look in to the ability to search by Serial in the future though, since those are always in standard ASCII

Thanks, then I have one more question. Where does the CIAngel file have to be on the SD card in order to detect it with FBI?

Anywhere, FBI has an SD card browser that lets you navigate between folders.

Another little sneak peek at an upcoming change :)

I added % and the download bar a while ago ;) I've just moved things around a bit (The bottom screen felt so lonely with nothing on it), added size (Current / Total), and avg download speed :)

There's actually even more changes in the pipes, just waiting for them to get merged, but I don't have that build on my 3DS right now so I can't take pictures of it :P

i just download majora mask but it doesn't appear on the home screen what have i done wrong?
The currently selected mode is on the bottom left of the top screen, if you had it on "Create CIA" mode (Currently the default), it created a CIA that you have to then install with FBI or another CIA manager. If it was on "Install CIA" mode, it should show up on the home screen after a second. The mode can be switched at the main menu by pressing L

CIA's that CIAngel create in "Create CIA" mode are stored in /CIAngel/ on your SD card

Don't forget the customary warning of "installing CIA mode only works if CIAngel was installed as a CIA in the first place"
