Homebrew [Release] arc13's freeShop fork - open source eShop alternative

[pepepotamo]

wow that was fast! looks good, impressive! thanks for picking up this app.
Also, is it possible to show in the installed games list how much space each one uses? so it could be easier to decide when deleting

Yes, why not.

Thank you for keeping freeshop going, out of curiosity, why Chinese keyboards? No circumstances will it be used, freeshop really lacks a Japanese keyboard though

agreed

 

[RustInPeace]

Something I'm curious about that I never was able to pick up from the original, the updates to Pokemon games. For example 1.1 on SM, I could never download them off freeshop, 1.5/1.4 on XY/ORAS respectively as well. Would this fork possibly rectify that?

 

[arc13]

agreed

It was a mistake, it will be of course the Japanese keyboard.

You can try, but I don't think it's fixed

Hey, i have a problem with freeshop : I have some games that have glitchy icons... (Like a corrupted icon)

Try to refresh your cache

 

[HRudyPlayZ]

Yeah, thank you it's fixed
I think i will try to change the GUI a bit (with the source code)...

One question: Have changed the update server
Edit: Another glitch found: When i try to open the MH4U page the freeshop crashes.

Yes, thanks for the report, it's an issue with the french language, in english the page load.

I am so glad someone forked this! It would have been horrible to see an amazing project like this die off so tragically. Thank you, @arc13, for taking up the torch!

 

[Tesslaa]

Amazing work @arc13 , thanks for keeping the FreeShop alive

Well I was considering doing something like this (well not really much like this, instead of a full fork I was planing to just use a few parts of the freeshop code and pretty much make everything else from scratch) myself as my first public project but I'm glad you did it instead cause I'm not the most reliable person when it comes to updates and support (one of the many reasons for which I never published anything I made).
This actually fixes most of the annoyances I had with freeshop but there's one suggestion I have: what about also adding a battery indicator? It would be pretty useful to judge if you have enough battery to finish a download or not before starting it and getting your device power off in the middle.

Yes, I will add a battery indicator in a future update (in the information screen that will come)

@arc13 On my N3DS, clicking 'refresh cache' always returned to the HOME Menu so I could restart the app and the cache refreshes during the next start.

Hi my freeshop keeps crashing while trying to load the game list. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Edit: I managed to fix it I was just missing a file

 

[The Catboy]

I have one other suggestion, the boot splash is rather meh. Any chance of seeing a new one?

I was thinking about that, the PabloMK7's looks very good, I think it will be the new one.

I couldn't agree more!
I am actually shocked that no one else uses that one! (besides homebrew launcher to my knowledge)
Also, grammar suggestion,
"Q: Can freeShop download while sleeping?
A: Not yet. It's currently unknown how to go into sleep mode without interrupting network services.
What are you saying here TheCruel ?
Of course it can ! But later.."
Should be,

I can see you are from France, so I am guessing English might not be your native language. So I am just trying to help a bit But I do love the fact that you are trying! I tried to learn French and I can only say a few things.

I finaly test out your work and it works normaly. I was a little worry becouse in the other topic i read of person that get a freeze the moment they try to install a game. Thankfully for me never happen. I really like the fact that you add the memory i still have on my SD card to see the free space i still have.

 

[BL4Z3D247]

Will sleepmode installing be added? Thats the only reason I would switch over to this fork

Not added to TitleDB for the moment, and the features that will be added soon... well.. I REALLY need to do a list, because I have the main like:
- Sleep downloading (working on it)
- Maybe change the place of storage bars
- A theming support

I can't remember the others, but... yeah... they will re-appear in my mind with some magic things like a complete season of My Little Pony xD
