So, as we all know, this excellent software was discontinued by its creator, citing personal reasons. So now I'm looking for a replacement for this tool so that I can have backups available for some 3DS games when the eShop is closed.
I've been looking at some of the tools @cearp has made, like funkyCIA, funkeyCIA, but there are so many that I cannot distinguish which one of his tools is the best to create "perfect" cias, as he says?
Specifically, I'm looking for a tool that:
TL;DR: Need a replacement for Wii U USB helper that generates CIAs from the eShop that can be played on any 3DS system. Those CIAs must contain the same content as if I were downloading it from the eShop. The application needs to verify the integrity of the contents as it downloads it, in order to repair the damaged parts due to network error or other type of error that may corrupt the content. Basically, a tool that is close as possible in functionality as that offered by Wii U USB Helper.
Thank you in advance for the help. I think it would be helpful if @cearp could chime in and explain if any of his tools provide the above requisites as I have noticed he has been very active in these kinds of things with his tools, but he has created so many that I don't know which one is the closest one to Wii U USB Helper in functionality.

Specifically, I'm looking for a tool that:
- Allows me to download games, updates and DLC
- Packs them to a CIA file. Optionally, it could store the unpacked contents (the contents of the game, update or DLC) on a folder while the CIA is generated to different folder, just like Wii U USB Helper used to do.
- Verifies the integrity of the downloaded contents
- Generates CIAS that are 1:1 replicas of content found on the eShop, meaning that you can re-download them through the eShop. In other words, a perfect copy of the game, update or DLC that I choose
- The CIAs generated must be able to be installed to any 3DS system. Hence why I call them backups in case I need to reinstall to same 3DS system or a different one. That means, the CIAs are not tied to my console
