(I no longer need to go through the process of powering on my slow PC to go on TinyDB!)

Universal-DB is awesome! Keep up the great work, Universal-Team!

Edit: (Wish I could contribute to this project... It's AMAZING!)

PSA: 2.5.1 just came out and it brings alongside it some changes.
  • In an attempt to fix a bug of returning to the home screen, your configuration file will get wiped on first launch of 2.5.1This doesn't mean the scripts/stores. It means things like colors, etc
  • A new Special Thanks page is made on the credits
  • Download Speed displaying is disabled by default due to crashes. Manually edit the JSON to change it
  • "Update Available" will no longer be shown for apps that haven't been installed yet (UniStore)
  • FTP is now removed from Universal Updater. It doesn't fit the UU naarative, the code was not in line with the UU code design (FTP code used C instead of C++) and there are other applications for FTP. We recommend FTPD

Nice work.
Waiting for the next update to see the Hungarian translation.
It was hard to make a DB for myself without updated wiki documentation, and didn't find info about the icon creation.
Do you need help in the docs?

I just updated the wiki on GitHub so it should be up to date now, sorry it was so outdated... For the icons see the Sprite sheet page on the wiki.
We should be good for the docs, just hadn't gotten around to updating it so thanks for the reminder, I would say feel free to PR changes if you have ideas but GitHub Wiki's permissions are pretty dumb and don't let you do that...

I'm not sure exactly how the GitHub downloading works, so do you know what the problem would be @SuperSaiyajinVoltZ?



Edit: Linked this to StackZ (SuperSaiyajinVoltZ) on Discord and he said you'll need:
Owner & Repo: vargaviktor/3DSUnofficalStore
Filename: 3DSUOS.unistore
and also the UniStore is invalid JSON right now is why its failing, you can use https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ to check the JSON, it seems to have an invalid trailing comma right now.

Thanks for everything. The docs are nice now, and I will check my repo on weekend, for JSON bugs.
Also working to make a dev environment on my laptop, for the icons and contributions.

Universal-Updater v3.0.0 just released! We redesigned basically the whole thing to hopefully make it a much simpler and more intuitive experience, so hopefully y'all enjoy! More details and the downloads are on GitHub:

Thank you for the new Release; I used this application in the past but really didn't see the need because it seemed redundant for most of the Homebrew Applications I use and update through a Web Browser and then Wi-Fi transfer to the 3DS.

However, since the latest Release and revamped UI, I can actually find Applications in the Universal-DB that I never saw before nor knew I needed; I found Vapecord ACNL Plugin through this and, alongside LeafEdit, it's greatly increased the fun I have in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Now I can actually get my new Town ready for Toy Day, with all her inhabitants gifted properly.

Trying to get the latest open_agb_firm but I can't seem to find the file anywhere, despite it saying "Done!". Does it send it directly to the luma payloads folder or somewhere else?

Oh sorry, missed this for a couple days, it should extract it directly to the luma payloads folder, however it seems to be bugged at the moment and not extracting... The version of libarchive devkitPro supplies is from 2013 and has trouble with some 7z files seemingly randomly and when we opened and issue asking if they could update they just banned us all from their GitHub for being connected to TWiLight Menu++ so we haven't been able to do much about it...

Edit: I gave it another try at getting the latest version of libarchive working and this time I was actually able to get it working! So we'll probably release a new bug fix version soon that fixes this

Great news! I noticed that you already released the bugfix version so I updated and now it extracted the open_agb_firm file successfully. Thanks for the quick fix and great app!
