You can't currently put http links in the "package.list" file...
only a list of files contained in that folder :)

Example:
3dscraft.3dsx
3dscraft.smdh
testfile.txt

...and so on

When I'll have time I'll implement http downloading from urls

New error: The smdh path shown on the top screen is correct but it still fails to download the file. Downloading the .smdh directly via Firefox works though.

I just tried to download ReinandUpdater (see packages.json:
Code:
{"repo":{"name":"3DS CFW Kit","author":"AidanLumina","website":null},"packages":[{"name":"NASA","author":"Rinnegatamante","short_description":"CIA manager for 9.3.0+","category":"Other","website":"http://rinnegatamante.it","type":"3ds","version":"1.0.0","dl_path":"3ds/NASA/","info_path":"3ds/NASA/NASA.sdmh"},{"name":"ReinandUpdater","author":"Reisyukaku","short_description":"Reinand Updater","category":"CFW","website":"http://reisyukaku.org","type":"3ds","version":"2.1b","dl_path":"3ds/ReinandUpdater/","info_path":"3ds/ReinandUpdater/ReinandUpdater.sdmh"}]}
) but back in the HBL, nothing's changed. :/

You can take a look at my repo here.

Currently it only supports direct downloading of .3ds/.3dsx/.cia files from repos. I'll check if I can implement a .zip file decompression into installMii. Thanks for your advice :)
I don't think this is that urgent as users can use ZIP3DSFX to build their own ZIP-based .3dsx setup app but it's also easy to implement as the code is already written; see the source of ZIP3DSFX by @d0k3 . :)

So far really I like this app, but I have been trying to setup a personal repo for my friends so far once I add a fifth app or game installMii is unable to load the repo. stopping at "Repository 'Repo' --> [LASTEST]". works fine if I remove any of the apps as long as there isn't 5 in the packages.json.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
