Ah there's different titlekeys for different update versions. I should presumably have the correct titlekey somewhere on my system since I've installed the update, and yet dumping the keys from my ticket.db gives the same results as are already in wings.json?

That I'm not sure of, I thought they'd be the same, but the actual name on the titledb site is 1.2.0, so it may be different.

Yeah no other game seems to use more than one key (I'm Europe BTW) for its updates.

But fun fact: the USA update (also the JPN), the one actually listed as 1.2.0, downloads the 1.3.0 update. Since I don't actually need the correct update for my region to poke at the files that will do the trick but there's still something odd going on somewhere with the EUR download.

Ah okay, so it does share a titlekey. Perhaps the update isn't release in EUR yet?

@cearp @Drakia can you add shift_JIS character set (or something similar) to Ciangel so we can see japanese names properly? And add an option to display all the games, the only trick I found is typing a space, but it doesn't show the games without a space in their name.

Also, if you type more than 50 characters, the app goes crazy and fill the screen with hundred of characters, you should add a limit to avoid that. :)

If I could make only 1 suggestion it would be to allow to boot directly into "install" mode and make it switch to create mode since I'm sure most people use it to install than to create a cia. Either way great job again

I'm thinking there may be a difference between an update being available in the eShop (which it is in EUR) and an update being offered when you launch the game, which wasn't happening for me.

yeah the same content will share a title key for its life, in all update etc.
if the newest version is not being downloaded from nitnendo, you just have to wait until they update their servers or whatever.
some people said things like this about FunkyCIA, sometimes a brand new update will not be downloaded. not my fault, blame nintendo :)
you can wait a little while.

Is it possible to see the title ID of a ticket you just downloaded without having to manually look for it? It would make the process incredibly helpful in general.

You are entering a search which is more than 50 characters?

How specific are you trying to be? I imagine you don't really need to type that many characters, not if you want actual search results.

Install mode isn't always available (depending upon your execution method), whereas create always is
We *could* write some code that tries to set it to install and only failure falls back to create, but I'd rather write it to save to a config file first. That way, whatever your preference, it's saved on exit

I have multiple suggestions to make so CIAngel would be as close as possible to an actual app.

*Better (GUI?) or whatsitcalled, make it more than black and white.
*Categories, I'm downloading Hyrule Legends right now and I don't even know if it's the demo or not, since there are 2 with the same name.
*Make the banner better, it gives me flashbacks of Code of Princess which has a low quality banner/logo

CIAngel is already an actual app :)

Wouldn't this make you the prime target for a ban?
As cearp said, no one has been banned at this point. CIAngel doesn't send any nnid identifying information to Nintendo's servers while downloading content, so at most they have your IP, which they can't really tie to a specific console.

Oh, I worded that wrong haha
What I meant to say was to make it have 3D banners that move when you blow on the mic lol
Your first and third request are purely visual, they have nothing to do with his useful the app is. While there is work being done to clean up the ui, it's a long process (that superbudvar has managed single handedly so far). And I doubt we will change the banner, it looks like that on purpose.

You have to get your hands on a seeddb.bin that contains the decryption key for the game, and use Decrypt9 to do a deep decrypt on the CIA before installing it

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
