Homebrew [No Longer Working] Community freeShop fork - open source eShop alternative

[Rahkeesh]

Did you ever figure out how to make it default to the 3DS version?

The two share the same IP address, but my browser defaults going to the other one.

Still see the Wii U in the browser, but Freeshop at least knows what to do with it.

Ok, got something: https://pastebin.com/Nzk8Ld8q .

Grep through it to see which titles can be grabbed and which ones are restricted. Obviously, the situation may worsen in the future.

I pulled the restricted ones and built a list with names and region but i think excel chewed up a handful of title id's i couldn't match up (about 15 or so), but anyone with the link can edit if anyone wants to help with it feel free to contribute anything I missed.

As long as Pokemon isn't first party.... there's quite a lot missing from Nintendo alone.

Interesting: requesting certain restricted games elicits a 401 response from CDN, while for others it answers with 403.

The difference typically between 401 and 403 is whether or not the client's identity is known to the server - 401 the client's identity is unknown, 403 the client's identity is known and prohibited from accessing that resource.

Whether Nintendo is actually using these status codes properly is an entirely separate question, however.

I'll soon publish a database of restricted titleIDs to show the response code near each. Maybe we can figure out something.

Update: requesting the TMD of any of the 104 titles is met with a 403 response, for me. See https://pastebin.com/nEZbsv3F .

Someone should just host the .cia files on a Swedish server, and allow another freeShop clone to download and install them. Like a remote version of FBI or something. Seems like a much more reliable way to preserve these games anyhow, without Nintendo fuckery (or titlekey sites missing) getting in the way of things.

There should be one thing that the Wii U has, but the 3DS doesn't: A Homebrew App Store!

That should be the one thing that should be hosted. There used to be some apps that were similar, but they closed their doors within a very short time for no reason. I don't see why wiiubru could actually host 3DS Homebrew apps on it, or maybe create something called 3dsbru or something in conjunction with wiiubru.

But as for preservation, there's a possibility that someone could be able to host content on a custom server and have freeShop operate with the custom server instead.

There is. It's not as well designed as on the WiiU, but when you run FBI, there's an option called "TitleDB". It lets you browse and install homebrew hosted on https://titledb.com/.

 

[Borjitasstoi]

can you imagine creating something you can download cias like in freeshop and inject dlcs too?
nah just forget it in my mind sounds better

OK so even after the title key site got knocked down, there is still a way to use freeshop? At least for 3rd party stuff?

That title site isn't really gone per se. Here's a clue in finding it again, thanks to @Tigger mentioning it first (even though his post was removed for a big no-no in ToS).

Well I don't have a pc just Android...

 

[Milhouse22]

What if I host my repo with cia files, can I generate QR to download them from FBI? will I get banned if I do this? I think I will be flagged when I try to download from CDN, can someone confirm if I can do that

 

[TurdPooCharger]

LOL. I'm not laughing at you for not having a PC. It's just funny because you've told me this over 3 times, and I keep forgetting.

You can find the keys at that iso site*. This avenue doesn't require a computer.

There's also Homebr3w. Essentially the same thing as using TitleDB from FBI, though.
