not sure if it is ok to ask for it but could someone point me in the direction of a mirror for freeShop. Been looking around and that lead me here but have yet to find a site that is hosting the file.

I just bought new 3ds's for my kids for christmas and I'm not even sure if freeShop would even work as they are on the latest firmware update from Nintendo.

Goddammit Kotaku, you forgot to quote the most important bit of Cruels tirade:

TheCruel said:
And the argument can be used against their own eShop application, which facilitates theft by installing unowned copies of Nintendo's games when users merely install tickets locally. The only difference is freeShop gives slightly more control over ticket installation, you can even install tickets with nonsense keys you give it and they'll just fail.

Also, reminder that the takedown was filed within part of the usage of the "Nintendo 3DS Logo Data file", which is the boot up screen for various CIAs. Something which could put all other CIA homebrew at risk if I'm not mistaken unless makerom changes (can it be changed).

So......I can't access freeShop (If this is related to the DMCA (previously, the actual app still worked just fine), please reply)
It crashes with "An error has occured. This system will restart." upon queuing an install.

After this has been mentioned I actually began to make note of that, most homebrews have the default boot up sequence, but FBI and if I remember correctly, the homebrew launcher, use their own boot up sequence (basically displays "Homebrew" in plain text on both screens). If this is grounds for Nintendo to file DMCA's, I'd recommend all developers to switch to the one FBI and Homebrew Launcher uses.

I'm pretty sure CIAngel still works, so you can use that.

For people who aren't aware, current freeShop installations are relatively unaffected. freeShop simply won't be able to update itself because that portion relied on Github's hosting. The game list will still be able to update itself, however.

Don't fall for trolls claiming you're more likely to be banned now or something for using freeShop. It's no less "safe" than any alternative game installers. And if Nintendo did ban you, it would be an IP ban most likely. But they risk a lot of false positives for this, likely not worth them taking action, even to punish pirates.

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.

    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
