Will i have to redownload echoes when the seed comes or is it something that just comes when the game releases?
You can use FBI to install the seed once the game is released. It is highly recommended to NOT play early releases of a game (CIAs from websites, based on cart dumps) as it could lead to your console being banned. The recommended way to play a game (If you are pre-loading it prior to release) is to use CIAngel/FreeShop to install the game, then use FBI to install the seed once the game is released.

I had a version working a little while ago (via hex editing the code.bin rather than messing with the source code) and was going to create a code.ips but before I could get around to creating and testing it 0.81 was released.
Yeah, I was bored, figured I'd fix it up and get it actually building with the latest releases of the dependencies.

The developers have no influence on what is and is not available in CIAngel, a third-party database is used.

Who is in charge of the database?

You'll get it from that iso site sooner and you can immediately play it. The title key is on that title key site, but it's the preload version and can't be played until the 19th.

What ISO site?

A new version of CIAngel has been released with the latest commits in it:

CIAngel 0.81
Development Changes:
  • Update 'buildtools' external
  • Update to build with the latest ctrulib/devkitARM
User Changes:
  • New 'Homebrew' startup screen
  • Update URL to new site.
  • Allow overriding the URL for wings.json with a /CIAngel/source.txt file (Single line, URL to the json_enc file)
  • Use the system keyboard instead of a custom software keyboard
This should fix the issues people were having with updating their wings.json files.

The QR code in the first post, and on the GitHub README have both been updated.
CIAngel.php

This version's 3dsx build seems to freeze on a red (lower) screen when opened. There's been a regression somewhere, by the look of it.

Probably the svchax update I applied. I honestly never test the 3dsx build, as its only good for creating a CIA that you would then need CFW to install. The recommended method is to just use the CIA version of the app.

Red means you're missing boot.3dsx. Try redownloading the homebrew starter pack. Also as Drakia said, you should use the CIA version whenever possible for homebrew. It's just more stable.

That only applies if you can't get into the homebrew launcher. Here (I'm assuming), they can get into the homebrew launcher but the app causes a red screen on launch.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
