Homebrew [Release] FalconPuncher - Send CIA files to FBI via network

[m45t3r]

This is a fork of blockfeed/FalconPunch with support for Python 3 (Python 2 is still supported), better user interface (including a simple GUI, see screenshot below) and better error handling. This program can be used with a 3DS with Steveice10/FBI installed to transfer CIA files to 3DS using network instead of manually copying files to SD card. This is somewhat slower, however it has the advantage of not using double the space to install.

Usage
Install Python (preferred version is Python 3.x, however you can use Python 2.x if you want), download FalconPuncher.py, put it in the directory containing the CIA files and double-click in it (if you did use the Python installer on Windows). The GUI should open, so you can start transferring your CIA files.

You can use FalconPuncher completely by command-line too. See README.md for details.

How is this better than socket Punch

 

[Joom]

Neat. TCL GUI. Glad SOMEBODY'S making use of this.

How is this better than socket Punch

Well, for one I don't have to use yet another Java program in my computer. This by itself (for me) is an advantage.

However FalconPuncher itself is much simpler than Socket Punch. There is no retry option, for example.

 

[Joom]

+1 for no Java. People shouldn't even have it installed.

That's good enough then

Hi M45t3r,

I'm getting this error when I run it under Linux:

hle@x60 ~/src/FalconPuncher $ python -V
Python 2.7.10
hle@x60 ~/src/FalconPuncher $ ./FalconPuncher.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./FalconPuncher.py", line 19, in <module>
    import Tkinter as tk
ImportError: No module named Tkinter

Any thoughts?

You have to run it with Python 3.

 

[3xkrazy]

You have to run it with Python 3.

hmm. The op says Python 2.x is supported though.. Ok, i'll try 3.x right now

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Same error with 3.x:

hle@x60 ~/src/FalconPuncher $ python -V
Python 3.4.3
hle@x60 ~/src/FalconPuncher $ ./FalconPuncher.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Do you have the tkinter module and Tk/TCL installed?

 

[3xkrazy]

Do you have the tkinter module and Tk/TCL installed?

I'm asuming that's linux system related? I'll look for it now.

Issue resolved by setting
USE="tk"

in my gentoo make.conf and recompiling python. Thanks!

Solved. Cool.

I should probably add a fallback for those people who does not have Tk/Tcl installed, since you can run FalconPuncher in command-line too.

 

[Thelostrune]

Does this work with BigBlueMenu
because, you know, Big Blue ; )
i'm so sorry

In this thread you can find a SocketPunch's native EXE installer for Windows. Works only on Windows 8+, though. If you're using Linux or Mac, then I understand what you mean.

Good work, @m45t3r !
It's always nice to have more options for different people to try.

 

[yacepi15]

It doesnt respond when i send CIAs T.T

Ok, I added a fallback in commit d0f1c6ec so you can now use FalconPuncher without Tk installed (however you lose GUI support too).

I get this on Python34 and Python27:

thanks for the work

what about android dev?

Move to C++ and Obj-C.
