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

[supergamer368]

So they have a valid signature??

 

[Drakia]

All of a sudden, yes, this helps! I was downloading it before, now tried install mode - and it jumped to ~900kb/s. This doesn't seem like a proper behavior.

Yeah, it's odd, I haven't been able to track down why writing to SD is so much slower than installing. They both technically write to SD, but I think Nintendo's internal file writing stuff for CIA installation (Which we use in install mode) does something special that libctru's file functions don't.

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

No, they are "Good" CIA's, not "Legit" CIA's.

The difference is these are created with proper titlekeys, and won't cause eShop to choke when trying to update. But they still require signature patching to install/run.

Since this project has been a title asleep.
@Drakia @cearp
Did you tried a method to "dump" a CIA from one of the alreally installed titles?
That would be a nice feature for an updated method for dumping eshop titles.

Honestly, you're better off using one of the PC utilities to dump CIAs from the eShop to a file (Far faster than we could possible read on the 3DS itself). As far as I know there's no functionality in AM (Atleast in libctru) for reading back CIA data once installed.

What I mean is:
1.- Dump the TID and the TKey from the desired title.
2.- Dowload the CIA from CDN.

Dunno if the ARM11 can do such thing (dump the TKey) or if is only possible the ARM9 (as Decrypt9 does).

Does this thread take requests for ticket additions to wings.json?

I'd like DQMJ3 added, please and thank you. SE seems to have DMCA'd the crap out of that download from everywhere I managed to find on that one iso site. I've never ran into this problem with other games. :/ I would think anyone who managed to get that game before it was taken down everywhere could use it to generate the ticket?

Title requests are not accepted, titles are added by the community of their own free will, and requires purchasing the game from the eShop, dumping the title key, and submitting it to a specific 3ds titlekey database.

Buy it! The least you can do is be a contributor of one title, not just a pure consumer. Every title you have downloaded, someone bought and contributed.

CIAngel isn't showing me all the results. When I type space in the search I only get 59 results. Most of them being Pokemon related. I deleted and redownloaded wings.json and I still only get 59 total results. This ever happen to anyone else?

I'm having a bit of a problem understanding whats the difference between CIAngel and Freeshop, they basically do the same? is one better than the other?

CIAngel automatically handles downloading the wings.json file on startup if yours is more than 3 days old, or via the "Download wings.json" menu. For the word "space" I get 21 results (none of which are Pokemon related). For just a blank space, I get 1950 results. Make sure you're running the latest version.

CIAngel was out first, has access to more things currently (DLC, updates, demos, etc.), and is seemingly more stable (Since we don't deal with a GUI/threading code). Freeshop looks prettier, has support for pausing/resuming downloads.
Freeshop is also limiting in that until a game is added to its own special cache by the dev, even if it's in the JSON data, it won't show up in the search results.

So basically i have no reason to use freeshop if i have CIAngel.
I read somewhere that the tickets the CIAngel installs are somehow not good? that they might be flagged by Nintendo or something? guess its not true but for to be extra safe, is it safe?

The tickets that CIAngel, FreeShop, FBI, or any future application install are identical (Barring maybe the signature data, which is random/null'd data either way).

That's what i figured, thanks! Cleared my confusion.

How do i make dlc show up?

DLC very often has the same or similar name to the game. The type of the entry you currently have selected it shown on the bottom screen (It will say DLC for DLC). DLC only shows up if someone has contributed the titlekey to the community titlekey database.

Also, how can i contribute to "community titlekey database"?

Search google for 3ds titlekey database. There are instructions on the top of the page (use decrypt9 to dump enctitlekeys.bin and upload that file if I remember correctly).

Just reinstalled CIAngel, deleted and redownloaded wings.json from the app and when I type a space into the search I still get 59 results. It's a seemingly random bunch of games too, most of which being Pokemon and Game and Watch.

I should add that it used to work, this happened to me yesterday after I accessed the eShop and it deleted my DLC. I went into CIAngel to reinstall and couldn't find anything when I searched.
