THE NEW FULL VERSION IT'S READY

Yes, people. It's here!!! The ULTRA-EASY and SUPER-COOL-LOOKING CIA Installer it's ready.

SOON! is a good-looking install-&-delete legal CIA Installer. It is a easy to use CIA installer with "AUTOMATIC" cover selection based in the CIA's unique ID. In a near future it will become the "DownloadMii" for CIA files.

The software includes 23 translations (default languaje it's Spanish)

Current Features:
-Cool Good-Looking Interface
-Automatic Cover Art selection while Installing a Game or App (NEW)
-Translation Support (23 translations to 14 languajes)
-Install-&-Delete Chain Installation

Future Features:
-Download CIA Homebrew (will be like "DownloadMii" for CIA files)

How to set-up? (new instructions for CIA users)
-.3DS File:
1-Copy "SOON.3ds" to the root of your Gateway's MicroSD card
2-Copy the contents of the folder "SD Card" to your SD card root.

-.CIA File (CFW users):
1-Copy the contents of the folder "SD Card" to your SD card root.
2-Send the CIA file (Release\CIA\SOON.cia) with ctrclient.exe as usual.
3-Restart your 3DS and launch it from the HOME Menu.

-.CIA File (Gateway/MT-Card users)
1-Set-up the .3DS file as I said above
2-Copy "SOON.cia" to the "FilesToInstall" folder inside your 3DS' SD card.
3-Enter in Gateway mode and select "SOON!" in Multi-ROM Menu.
4-Run "SOON!" and it will install "SOON!" for you.

How to install CIA files with "SOON!"? (new instructions)

2-Run "SOON!" and touch the big yellow triangle.

How to use translations?
Copy the files from any translation inside the "Translations" folder to "SD:\SOON\Menu\" and replace.

(sorry for the "mega" link but the size of the package it's too big for GBATemp because every translation's size it's around the 900kb and this software haves 23 tranlations at this time and also v1.3 haves a BIG cover art and icons database)

Thanks to Rinnegatamante for his help with the source code.

SOON! uses a custom version of LPP3DS.
Thanks to Rinnegatamante for creating that great software. This program it's totally open-source and can be modified by anyone, off course, giving credit to the original authors Howling Wolf & Chelsea ("Howling Wolf Naru-José" and "Chelsea_Fantasy") and all the people who translate this app and helped creating it.

As every homebrew, use it at your own risk.

UPDATE:
FULL Version 1.5 it's out.

To all homebrew developers:
If you want your software to be downloadable from "SOON!" (like DownloadMii but this one will be for Homebrews in CIA format) in the next release, please visit this thread:

I'm working now in the Unique ID Cover Database.
When it's done (up to date) I will release another BETA version.

The Theme Creator will be created then. Actually you can create your own Custom Themes by editing the PNG files, but It will acept only one translation. My theme creator will auto-fit all the translation into your theme automatically

All this will be released SOON!

So wait. Can we install unsigned CIAs with this? What's the difference between this and FBI?
Click to expand...

We can install unsigned .CIA with FBI as well, it's just that your 3DS does not have the signature checks patched out and therefore unsigned installed .CIA will not load.

How will SOON be different from FBI? Will there be additional features and / or stuff you can't do with FBI, or will the differences mainly be aesthetics and / or ease-of-use? And, will you think about us NINJHAX users, too? ;)
