Homebrew [WIP] installMii - Graphical repository downloader

[simonepsp]

Yep same here, as soon as it loads, red bottom screen of death. (n3ds)

How long does it lasts? I've noticed the same problem but that red screen disappears in about 1 second and then installMii loads fine.

I've tested it on my 2DS and my old 3DS XL
I'll investigate this problem...

Lasts until i force it to reboot back to homebrew menu ( L R DOWN B ).

Yeah I got the same model. I wonder if that only happens in N3DS

 

[HappyzLife]

Everytime i launch it, it give me a yellow screen :/
(o9.2E - homehax)
EDIT:
Can you tell me if the syntax is correct? And how can i add the file called CHMM2.xml to the info?
packages.json in the root

Yes, sintax is correct. Remember to compact it (it has to be all on the same line) using a tool like http://jsoneditoronline.org/
package.list should contain the list of files used by the homebrew. So CHMM2.xml should be put there.

Yes, it's seems to be related to N3DS and unfortunately I don't have one to investigate the issue.
I'll update the community once I discover something about.

Working on my 2ds !
Very cool stuff, love the UI so far.

When its possible to install .cia files will you also be releasing a .cia version of installmii for emuNAND? I can see this becoming a lot like cydia for the iphone once .cia installing become a thing :3

Thanks
Yes, installMii will be able to install .cia packages in the emuNAND. I'll also release a .cia version of installMii.
But, unfortunately, I don't currently have an ETA for this feature

Is there any source code to browse? I'm really curious abouth this software (and about the red screen bug on n3ds! Which seems so strange)

The project is currently closed source. I'll probably publish the source code at a later time.
The red screen bug isn't probably caused by installMii but by a library-related problem. I've discovered similar cases on other forums...even with different homebrews!

I've sent a solution to @BurningDesire and I'm waiting for his response If it works, I'll publish this fix.

You mean a solution (hopefully) for the red screen on N3DS?
Also, does this work to download the latest RetroArch 3DSX builds?

 

[simonepsp]

**TO ANYWAY HAVING RED SCREEN LAUNCH CRASH ON N3DS **
The problem is related to ctrulib and may occur with installMii and other homebrews based on this library.

---> Replace the "boot.3dsx" on sd card root with this one: http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/Mf15R6Sn/file.html (MIRROR)

*Thanks to @BurningDesire for testing this solution

 

[Deleted member 373223]

now we just need a repo sharing thread.

 

[Urbanshadow]

Any chance for this to work directly with a github repo? Or a way to implement plugins for it so we can add optional github support to it?

(I don't mean this for the sources, just grabbing things on a "bin" folder on a github)

 

[Damian666]

I like the app, but really really dislike the json files, is there a way you could make it so it doesn't have to compacted?

that reads so much easier and is also easier to maintain?

 

[Deleted User]

What language is this written in, out of curiosity? I'd be willing to learn in order to try helping iron out some bugs (assuming you'd be willing to share your source).

(EDIT: Assuming it's C++ or LUA since, you know, there is a big sticky on how to get started with homebrew development at the top of this subforum... derp. At least I know C and C++ relatively well!)

 

[TurtleP]

@Damian666 he told me it's because the Json parser can't deal with new lines on 3DS or something similar. He said he'd fix it in the future.

ah, that would be nice, I'm trying to set up a repo, but fuck... I hate those files already xD

Is it bad that I want to rewrite the JSON parser to be more powerful upon hearing this? I wonder why it doesn't handle newlines....

In any case, this utility seems massively useful. I wonder if, after it is more mature, it could be integrated directly into the HBL. Imagine having a tabbed interface with a sortable menu, one for installed homebrew and another for homebrew on the repo you're pointing at.

Finally got to try this out seems like it works good keep up the good work.
