Homebrew [Release] freeShop - open source eShop alternative

[DarkenedMatter]

What kind of SD do you have? I mean r/w speed and class.

Sandisk Ultra Plus 32GB. It's relatively new as well and works fine for literally everything that isn't downloaded through FreeShop.

does it work on a new 3ds?

That's like asking if the eShop work's on New 3DS

@TheCruel Is it possible in next patch to maybe display remaning space on SD card so we can tell if we can install games or not, and maybe how much space a update and dlc will require, and perhaps demo vidoes like on eshop?

@Manurocker95

To tell you the truth, SD cards are dependent on: your computer (in more ways than one), files, structure/hierarchy of files/folders (folders in folders in folders with files) to be transferred, manufacturing errors/deliberate cost-cutting on materials (easily broken/corrosive parts) and there are a few more.

I have a few M/SD cards from SanDisk, PNY, Lexxar, ect., ranging from 4gb to 128gb. In my experience, the 64gb SanDisk 'Xtreme?' UHS-1 class is faster than an average 64gb SanDisk class-4 by no more than a minute on a PW:SOJ from CP (WIN 7lol) to SD. Even with the boasts of '933kb/s upload', the fine print on the package says otherwise.

Once the SD is in the 3ds, barring any of the above-mentioned faults, you can really only tell on cards above 64gb, (I think N3ds can read/write on 256gb maximum while O3ds is 64?) as there's a very noticeable lag in-between opening a game to playing the game. Depending on what you're doing, you might be capped at a certain speed, anyway.

I hope that helps you in someway.

While I'm here, @TheCruel

Ok since nobody will ask the question: How do I fix the crashing problem everytime I try to download a game,update or dlc. It always freezes a brief moment,crashes and then hits me with an error in the homescreen which forces me to reboot.Please somebody help me fix this.

Are you blocking nintendo's servers in your internet configuration?

On a 3dsXL, where does freeshop save the actual game data? Onto the SD card I inserted into the side?

LOL yea like all other eShop downloads

So is anybody having trouble downloading new games these past couple days? It worked fine a few days ago, but now everything I download, it tells me it's an invalid ticket after it finishes downloading.

This could be used: https://github.com/Repo3DS/shop-cache/releases.atom

I know this was something we talked about a couple weeks ago, but I've noticed r25's source code was pushed as a release two days ago, and the corresponding icon cache hasn't been built yet.

I'm thinking about forking that repo + freeshop (to change the cache URL) and automate it to run daily and push another cache whenever another title is detected. The way I understand it, the freeshop dev creates a new tag (r25) and travis then builds the tag (same code as master) when releases the 3 files, maybe he forgot to force the build. It seems there are a few titles that are not on r24 (including SuMo):

Hi everyone. I love the free shop but Is it JuSt me that CAN download out of region games (USA, japanese) on my system (N3DS Europe tuning luma3ds) but CANT play them and is met with a black screen?

No, I'm not blocking their servers.

 

[wtfboom3]

I sucessfully built the latest cache: https://github.com/Cartman123/shop-cache/releases/tag/r25
All I need now is patch the freeShop (fork or create a PR to add the option of a custom shop-cache) or overwrite the cache on the 3DS and uncheck the "auto-update cache" checkbox.

What CFW are you using? A9LH with Luma or something else? (Luma should automatically region-patch, but other CFWs may not.)

I would be more in favor of the latter version of the fork, make it default to the regular one, but manually changeable like the titlekeys are.

 

[xWaterLily]

A9lh with luma is what I'm running so im quite confused too. It's updated and everything

It was tagged, but no release made. Odd that Github API would still report it as a release.

I didn't let it release because some fixes need to be made so it's doesn't list titles that have disabled crypto seed, namely pre-releases like Pokemon.

Why not enable their listings and allow to insert the seed afterwards (like on the game list screen)?

Because then I would just get a bunch of complaints about the game being listed and not working after it's installed, then people would keep having to be told how to install seeds. No reason to complicate it.
