Homebrew [Release] freeShop - open source eShop alternative

[Redferne]

It seems to be a little more complicated than that.
Your purchases are store on Nintendo servers but it seems that when eshop check the ticket it only checks for its validity.
If the ticket is invalid it will either throw you an error or ask you to buy the game.
If the ticket is valid it stops there instead of checking on your account if you actually purchased the game and let you download and install it.

So doesn't that sound like such an easy fix for them? Another thing is that somebody said that freeshop doesn't use nnid to connect and that you connect anonymously to nintendos server. Isnt that a big red flag for then since afaik you always have to sign in to connect to the eshop.

 

[Redferne]

Like I said, the only thing that seems to be checked is either the ticket is valid or not...
This is probably already fixed for the Switch but I don't know if they want/can do it for the 3DS at this point.

Note: I'm no expert it's just what I gathered from all I read from the dev's discussion here in GBATemp
But it wold explain why only the ticket from games you actually purchased are transferred on a system transfer.

Oh i think thats right. Tickets are not tied to nnid cuz if they were you could sign in from a different console and download the games on a different device and i dont think you can do that right? So tickets must be tied to the console itself. Which would explain that it only checks to see if you have a ticket.

no, normal tickets are indeed tied to a NNID in most cases (with the exception of stuff like legit cia files that are given the ID of 0000000000 and console ID of 00000000, which essentially means its valid for any system and any NNID) the issue is Nintendo messed up and didn't have the account system in place at launch, so the games were tied to the system.

then they shoved an account system into the mix and had to kinda merge the 2 systems, so instead of a clean break to using NNID accounts they ended up with a cluster fuck console&NNID bound ticket system, and to honour tickets from pre-NNID purchases the eshop app simply only checks the console has a valid ticket rather than specifically having a NNID tied ticket, and seeing as CFW patches signature checks all you need to have a "valid" ticket in the eyes of the system is the correct decryption key,

system says to eshop "yeah I have that ticket", eshop just switches to the download link instead of the purchase button automatically, it doesn't actually check if the key is valid, which led to initially people getting bad tickets with bad keys, so the eshop would see it as having a ticket but crash at 99% downloaded as the key was incorrect and decrypted the game to garbage

If I edit the source/CIA, it's possible to make freeshop load the encTitlekeys.bin from the romfs/cia itself?

only if you somehow decompile the cia and tell the code to look in the romfs (that is not currently possible)

Why not just edit the "sdmc:3ds..." path in the source?
Not enough?

If I have a title key, how do I get the game to show up in the freeshop?

 

[eroz76]

If I have a title key, how do I get the game to show up in the freeshop?

Usage:
1. Install the CIA file on your CFW of choice (preferably one removing region restrictions). Do NOT ask about CFW issues in this thread.
2. Put an encTitleKeys.bin file in the directory sdmc:/3ds/data/freeShop/keys/ or go to update settings in freeShop and add a URL to auto-download (recommended).
3. Launch freeShop and enjoy.

 

[19cookies]

@eroz76 Yeah I have the title key, but the game isn't showing up.

 

[eroz76]

@eroz76 Yeah I have the title key, but the game isn't showing up.

Is it a game you personally bought? Is the title key encrypted?

 

[Manurocker95]

@eroz76 Yeah I have the title key, but the game isn't showing up.

Okay, this question has been answered sooooo many times, but here we go again: FreeShop works with the encTitleKeys.bin (Usually downloaded from that title key site) and a cache updated by @TheCruel. Even if the keys of the title you want are in your encTitleKeys.bin, if it's not in the cache, it won't ever show up on freeShop.

 

[Borjitasstoi]

ironically dragon quest 8 works (perhaps this game dont use same engine like strong games) (see also pokemon SM and SSB3DS)

Hello!

I get the "failed to install content: 0xD9004586" error when trying to install games that weight more than 3GB (and some that have just 3GB), specifically Pokémon Moon (I have Sun installed already and I've played it with no problem) and Dragon Quest 8.
Actually, it kept happening even with other games before (Project Mirai, Rune Factory 4, even with Dementium Remastered), but I solved it a couple times just formating my SD card and copying the data from the one I used originally. Ah, Pokémon Moon worked (it installed and I played) before the first format, which I made because this error happened.

I checked my SD card with h2testw and it shows no problems.
