Homebrew [Release] freeShop - open source eShop alternative

[SomeGamer]

The CIA file itself doesn't contain the seed, they have to be retrieved externally.

But I've seen many CIAs that I could just install.

Two things I couldn't figure out yet:

a) is there any way to see which region I'm selecting? For example if searching for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate you'll get two different entries, one would be US and one EUR I presume but I can't tell which one is which.
b) Why are there not all games from eshop in there? For example Yo-Kai Watch EUR isn't in there, only US. But that's also with CIAngel. What is the system behind that, why are newer titles not in there? What is needed for them to appear?

Crypto seeds were introduced around FW 9.6 and not all games have them.

Not YET.

A user who bought the game needs to upload that title's titlekey.

So if I've downloaded that Amiibo app and I retrieved a seed with FBI, can I make a CIA which I can just install without having to manually import the seed?

No. But FBI automatically gets it online when you install CIAs, so not a huge deal.

You can decrypt a CIA file using Decrypt9, which removes the need for the seed entry, that's probably what you're thinking of.

In regards to b, the database used by CIAngel, FreeShop, Shameless, etc contains user contributed titlekeys (The key required to install the game). Until someone buys the game on the eShop, and contributes the titlekey to the database, the games are not available.

Would adding and reading the the seeddb.bin file to the same path as encTitleKeys.bin make >9.5 games work properly?

If you use CIAngel/FunKeyCIA to create an actual CIA file, you can then use a seeddb.bin file and Decrypt9 to create a decrypted CIA file that doesn't require the seeddb entry to install/run.

Not necessary, I'll just fetch them online after the install, they're available on Nintendo's servers.

TheCruel will be adding seeddb stuff, as he's already said, it's just not in the first release. I doubt it will require a seeddb.bin file, as the seed keys are freely available from Nintendo's servers.

OK, I think I did it (there were four CIA decrypt options). Is there any way I can remove the seeddb entry to check?

 

[guitarheroknight]

Would it be possible to make a filter feature?

 

[duffmmann]

This program is amazing. Fantastic first release, already have made some great use of it. Thank you so much @TheCruel

 

[cvskid]

This works good. Glad that this and ciangel exist. Makes getting games much easier. Used this to install super mario bros deluxe. Nice to use this to install games and ciangel to install and or keep games in .cia form. Doesnt look like this has game updates and dlc atm.

I'm not sure if there's any clean way to. I personally just blow away the system savedata for SEEDDB, but I can't recommend that for general users

Then I'll try it on another 3DS. Should I use shallow, deep or CXI only decryption?

Deep decrypt is the one you want

 

[SomeGamer]

Deep decrypt is the one you want

Thanks a lot for your help! (I wonder how this will work on an O3DS.) And sorry for the offtopicness.

Made a few logo concepts.

Uses amiibo font, which is available for tweaking easily.

And alternatively, the same font used by the official logo - which isn't publicly available, I had to modify images on the web to make this work. I prefer the other one, personally.

 

[TurtleP]

@Sonic_Cee_Dee that looks awesome! I'd use transparency though. If you want, I can fix that for you.
