Gaming Can't access Freeshop 4.1.3

[Rahkeesh]

Bunch of baloney in here.

- The titles site isn't down, its just that the DNS/URL doesn't work. Find out the IP address of that site and put that into freeshop and you're good to go.

- Vast majority of games still work, only a selection of popular first-party titles are restricted, and not including Pokemon for some reason. The app will crash the moment you start downloading a restricted app. There's a list in the freeshop thread on homebrew forum.

- As I understand, the new 3DS security is actually *more* secure than Switch? Restricted 3DS titles require a valid per-game ticket to download, while Switch just needs a valid per-console cert to download everything.

Nintendo may very well kill the thing off completely soon, but that's all the more reason to use it now while you can.

You will probably want to mention that sleepmode downloads are going to be a tad risky now with what they have put into the new securities

Yes, sleepmode downloads will identify your console to Nintendo, *if* you are running 11.8 firmware. So probably don't use that feature if on 11.8.

Theres no *if* im still on 11.7 and can't use Internet stuff... So to use freeshop you have to be on 11.8

You can use freeShop on firmware 11.7. You meant one needs firmware 11.8 for Nintendo eShop, right?

Well I'm on 11.7 and before the title site went down my freeshop would get stuck on the retrieving cache screen. And it won't let me update through the home menu, and of course i can't access eshop. Sucks lol I actually have funds in there too...

You're going to have to reinstall freeShop. I checked if this crappy tutorial of mine still works on a fresh CFW setup on my blank 4 GB micro SD card. Still does the trick on my n3DSXL updated to 11.8 firmware.
