There's lots of tools that download games using your PC. I made one. But the are better ones as well.

I mean natively on the Wii U. Obviously there's PC stuff

Is it possible to relocate the 3ds/freeshop folder? I'd rather have it out of the 3ds folder and keep it all in one location instead of having two folders /freeshop and /3ds/freeshop

Thanks!

Can't change it. Delete the /freeShop/ folder, it hasn't been used to 1.X

Ok thanks, just hate having a data folder show up in my homebrew list. Trying to clean stuff up

I initially put it in /3ds/data/ with the plan of modifying HBL to load apps from /3ds/apps/ but I never got to it. Oh well, I'm just sick of all the homebrew that makes new directories in the root of SD.

I have an interesting error with Freeshop. I used it to install my games, and now my home menu isn't showing the games I legit purchased from the eshop. However, my legit games are still there, and can be pulled up and launched by going to the titles section in FBI or by searching the game and pushing the play icon in Freeshop. Any idea how to fix this?

Lol, have you reached the 300 limit? I think when there are more than 300 titles installed they start becoming invisible on home menu.

Hmm, that might be it, as I ended up going with a 128 gig SD card and was injecting a lot of games in for SNES and GBA. Ah well, I can still launch via FBI so not a major issue.

I'm working on taking information from this thread and putting it on the site so it's easier to access.

Let me know if anything isn't clear in the install and initial setup instructions: https://freeshop.pw/get-started/

I'll continue to add more stuff to explain all of the configuration options and such. And I'll also need to update the FAQs. I'll probably post news on the frontpage too (with rss feed and all). Any news posts I make in this thread get buried lol.

If you don't use your own tickets, yep, it's piracy. Else, nope.
edit: but freeshop uses eShop nintendo logo... X_X

freeshop alone is not, but it is what you use freeshop for that determines that

 

[wurstpistole]

Freeshop itself does neither allow nor encourage piracy on its own. It's completely up to you how you use it. If you decide to download illegally acquired keys, then you are to blame and not the developer of freeshop.

Please continue with that. I'm also fucking annoyed by these 5000 directorys and files...

Hi Guys.

Quick Question.I own a physical copy of Pokemon Moon. I know its piracy if i get a copy from freeshop without a legal key and I´ve read cartridges got headers an digital copy don´t . So in theory if i get a copy from freeshop would i get banned if i go only ingame or with the pokebank?

I know legally Nintendo can issue a ban just for running Luma+A9LH if they could detect it.

You will not be banned for using a digital copy nor will/can you be banned for running Luma+A9LH.
