Homebrew [Release] CIAngel - download GOOD cias right on your 3ds :)

[Drakia]

I generated a seeddb.bin and got one from that site but it did not work cause there missing the id for the game

We can't magically provide a seeddb that has the game you're trying to install in it (Especially since you still haven't even told us what game you're trying to install...). You will need to keep looking until you find a seeddb that contains the game you're trying to install. This isn't a limitation or bug in CIAngel, so we can't really help you further.

Yes. Themes are still deleted.

Even if you have the legitimate .tik file or such they will still be deleted.

If you want persisting themes use CHMM2 by Rinnegatamante

There's also a way to get the eshop themes for use if you know where to look.

That's unfortunate. Guess I will need to keep reinstalling then. (Don't like CHMM2's UI).

That's unfortunate. Guess I will need to keep reinstalling then. (Don't like CHMM2's UI).

Use CHMM2 once to install your theme which doesn't get reset when you access the eshop... Or keep reinstalling the same theme over and over again.

Buck up and just use CHMM.

I am getting an error when trying to compile, using the latest commit (279153a). Here's the error from Make:

source/cia.c:84:8: error: too few arguments to function 'AM_FinishCiaInstall'
  res = AM_FinishCiaInstall(handle);
        ^
In file included from /home/wayne/devkitPro/libctru/include/3ds.h:30:0,

/home/wayne/devkitPro/libctru/include/3ds/services/am.h:81:8: note: declared here
Result AM_FinishCiaInstall(u8 mediatype, Handle *ciaHandle);

It looks like line 84 in cia.c the call to AM_FinishCiaInstall is missing the first arg.

Here's that section from cia.c:

    res = AM_FinishCiaInstall(handle);
    if (R_FAILED(res))
    {
        printf("Error finishing CIA install.\n");
    }

Any suggestions?

CIAngel is based on an oldest commit of ctrulib: https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/...f541#diff-e929320527f19526d7fd64e2c95a107aL81

Would anyone mind building the latest commit and upload it? sorry, I just am in LOVE with this app!

Thank you!
It was looking like my library was different. I was just using the latest release of ctrulib. I'll compile the latest commit and use that.

If that works I'll submit a readme update pull request.

Are you referring to CIAngel or ctrulib?

 

[cearp]

Haha fair enough
By the way, just a little observation:
When searching for shovel knight, both shovel knight [EUR] and shovel knight update [EUR] is shown.
However, when I download shovel knight (and even after opening the eshop page) there's no update request.
Would it be safe to assume that when we download from the CDN that we download the latest version?

yes we do download the latest version of the GAME, but this is rarely updated.
most of the time, nintendo releases updates. separate to the game. but yes, rarely the actual game is updated and you will neeto fully redownload the game.

if an uodate exists and you didn't download it... the 3ds should tell you when you launch the game

What? No. CIAngel requires a newer ctrulib build than @paradox355 is running, it requires the latest version of ctrulib to be able to build.

The latest commit just removes features that have no future in the tool, so it isn't really worth a build just for it. I'm not sure how @cearp feels about unofficial builds floating around in the thread, but I personally don't like it (We then have to support something that is _supposed_ to just be a build of the code, but who knows if it's been changed?). I'd recommend just waiting for the latest build once cearp wakes up/gets around to building a release.

My bad, I read it in the reversed way.

 

[cearp]

Just a quick question, is there a program we can use to make cia files from stuff that we already have on our 3ds. Only asking as i have lots of games/apps on a 3ds and i have bought another, and would be easier to just get the games from the 3ds rather than using lots of tickets etc.

sd contents are encrypted, we need to generate xorpads, it's no fun. it's possible but inthink there is little interest in converting sd stuff to cia, interesting but no

So this is a theoretical question: We know the titleid of Howling Theme Tool cias (its somewhere in the thread), namely the one used for the Mario & Friends theme. If I were to obtain the key for the aforementioned theme (HTT makes the cias regional) and generated a ticket with it and then installed it using FBI, would the themes be removed if I accessed the eShop?

title id of htt?
that tool uses the same theme title id that nintendo does. it has to, otherwise they wouldn't be recognized... right?
if the themes get wiped when you go to eshop, I'm not sure. test it.

 

[QCLasky]

Can we download themes and DLC as well?

 

[cearp]

yeah luCIAfermwas strange enough, let's just work together, if someone thinks something i do is a bad idea (like removing input.txt support) just tell me!
i'll release 0.5 when we get a new feature.
do you guys want ticket generation? (=without cia making or direct cia install)
it's good for downloading via eshop so it's a good idea.
what about ticket installing, with no option whether to dump the ticket to install later, it just installs now? I think that is a simpler choice.

yes. not through search i think, but if you type the id and key, yes

@Drakia I figured it out. I looked at the latest commit and could tell that's what I wanted. I'm able to build CIAngel no problem now. I misinterpreted the build dependencies in the readme. I thought it meant latest release, even though that word is not there at all. lol

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been another "release" of libctru, there's so many changes since the last one that everything is going to break unless devs are keeping on top of the latest manual builds

I was able to download hyrule warrior and SSB DLC right now, but I cant figure out how to download themes. I dont know how to find its title id and keys

Please don't get rid of input.txt! At least not yet! When I searched for a CIA that wasn't in the wings.json file, it didn't show up! But when I used the input option, I was able to download what I needed right away! Please readd that feature! Just map it to the Select button or somewhere else since it's one of the least used options but still a good one to have!

themes are just dlc. let us know if the cia code can handle that many content files.
it's a good test for the app.

you created the text file, or entered the title id and key using the keyboard, on the 3ds?

Could you increase the number of results for the search? Tried looking forTri Force Heroes and it's
1: demo usa
2: demo eur
3: update eur
4: update usa

how many could fit in the screen? 1 result uses 2 lines, i can condense to 1 line though.
