Homebrew [Release] freeShop - open source eShop alternative

[SomeGamer]

There are a few languages features I plan on having:

The freeShop interface language will follow the console's language setting. This already exists, but there are no translation files currently made. Those will only be made after the settings interface is [mostly] complete (because text could change and I don't want translations to keep getting outdated during development).

Also, I will be adding language options in game filter. Along with filtering region, you can filter by games that have a specific language support.

Additionally, I will be attempting to fetch game descriptions in the console's language. US and JP regions I believe will only have English/Japanese descriptions respectively, but EU regions usually support several different languages, but it currently just gets English.

Will it be possible to supply custom translation files to the app, languages that aren't selectable as system language?

Perhaps not initially, but I suppose I could. I just checked and I do already have the ability to load from any file: https://github.com/cpp3ds/cpp3ds/blob/master/src/cpp3ds/System/I18n.cpp#L103

Hey, @TheCruel, so I've been thinking for a few days now and I thought I'd finally ask: since you made your own eShop clone (freeShop) why not do something about the theme shop? The keys to get the themes are out there, and I'm sure that it isn't any different than digging into the servers for games.

Using custom themes is much more approachable if anything

Yeah, I'll ask for help here probably when it's needed.

Well, there's really just one key and it seems to unlock them all by default lol. I don't know much about the theme stuff (where to fetch the metadata and such) but I just don't think it would be worth all the effort. Themes will be added as a part of the freeShop DLC update. So people can just use that to install the ticket and then I think they can just browse the theme shop and download whatever. I won't be making anything theme related.

@TheCruel
Updates of games you will put an additional button inside the frame that contains the description of the game ?

Yeah, and also for DLC/Demo if those exist for the game. If you queue the game by pressing X, it will auto-queue Update/DLC with the game. I will allow that to be disabled in settings though.

It would be possible for me to add a video with a demonstration of the game that neither has the Eshop.
Or this process would be too heavy.
Nintendo's official themes are also available by Eshop ?

I am on Luma3ds but after updating the freeshop to 1.2.2 the app crashes when it comes to the loading game list part.

tried 5 times already, I even reboot and retry but still having the same issue.

Weird. Try deleting the freeShop/cache directory and run it again.

ok, I will try again and post an update if the same issue will be encountered.

No problem here with autoupdate to 1.2.2

Did that fix your issue?

 

[RypaFire]

ok, here's what I did to fix the issue. I uninstalled the latest version 1.2.2 and removed everything from freeShop folder aside from enctitlekeys.bin and reinstalled version 1.2.1. Then I let that to autoupdate and now it is working.

here's one error I encountered after removing the files from cache folder on v1.2.2

Why didn't u just install the v1.2.2 directly?

 

[RypaFire]

Why didn't u just install the v1.2.2 directly?

I tried that, i installed the v1.2.2 but the picture I attached is the new error I encountered that is why I removed most of the files from freeshop folder and let it to autoupdate to 1.2.2.

 

[hacksn5s4]

could you also have the free shop have homebrew apps and custom vc games

 

[Dotmore]

Is there a guide for installing this? What is neccisary to install it?
