Hacking TIKDevil, an on-console mass ticket downloader

[Ryccardo]

That could be a possability, and would make the most sense. But I still had issues downloading smash, as it failed at 99%. So there still is an issue.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the ticket, if download still fails, some troll uploaded a bad key to Big Database!

I'm a bit new to this whole "ticket" thing, so sorry in advanced if this is too newbie for those professional eyes.
Once I have downloaded what I can with this app, how do I install the tickets? Also is DLC contained within these tickets? Do I need to place the wings.json file in the TIKDevil directory like with CIAngel?

Once I have downloaded what I can with this app, how do I install the tickets?

Open FBI 2.0.5+, select the "SD" option, enter the folder with the tickets, then press Y and "install all tickets" (you can also select individual ones with A instead, but if you only want some tickets there are more appropriate tools than TIKDevil)
Since FBI 2.1.0, you can also run the dowload directly from FBI. The advantage compared to eShop is support for foreign and delisted titles, the disadvantage is not downloading a seed for 9.6+ software.

Also is DLC contained within these tickets?

Yes, but like cia installation, they may be removed when the eShop is accessed (in-app or via the full software)!

Do I need to place the wings.json file in the TIKDevil directory like with CIAngel?

No, wings.json is a format used by CIAngel that includes title names for searchability; since the current version TIKDevil is strictly aimed at mass ticket generation, it just uses enctitlekeys.bin!

how do we know Nintendo won't ban us for this? Even worse, not only banning the 3DS, but also banning our Wii U's, and phones?

Version 0.2 available!

This is mainly a convenience update, featuring:

• No need to keep around .tik files for incremental downloading, as the tickets actually installed are read directly from ticket.db;
• Direct ticket installing, without the need of using FBI2 or another ticket manager;
• Full download up to 5x as faster!

 

[Slartibartfast42]

A lot of titles are still missing from that site. What's up with that? Did people stop updating it?

Maybe you could add a single title option. It takes a long time to parse the whole table if all you need is the one new one that was just added.

Anyone know how to make StretchMo work?

Thanks.

CIAlucifier TIKDevil. I Sense a devilishly good naming scheme coming on. In other news thanks for this downloading it now!

Hi everyone
I made a proper thread in the proper section so yeah
https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-tikdevil-reboot-batch-make-and-install-tickets.424699/
Some mods can close this, please?

 

[Nyap]

I don't get it - a lot of the paid apps on the eshop still say "Proceed to Purchase" instead of "Redownload"

Because not all games are available yet ^^

EDIT: Made my comment on the proper thread. As stated before, could a mod close this and redirect to the proper page? Thanks.

For me, it says "Stripping Table Phase 1" then it crashes. Help?

No, because freeShop doesn't let you just install tickets. CIAngel does.
