ROM Hack [Release] Villain3ds - Basically freeShop but runs on your PC

[tranxuanthang]

-- THIS SOFTWARE IS USELESS NOW AS NINTENDO FIXED IT --​

Villain3ds v0.2.2-2
For Windows (32bit and 64bit), Linux, macOS

Download:
Download here (github) - Source code

Usage:
It's a portable app. Just download, extract and run Villain3DS.exe to open.
For Linux users: If you can not run the Villain3DS file, try to chmod +x for ./Villain3DS then execute it.

Uninstall:
Remove the app's folder. If you want to delete configs and other leftover data as well, go to:
--Windows: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Villain3DS
--Linux: ~/.config/Villain3DS

Introduce:

This is a simple, easy to use app for download games from CDN and build it to ".cia" at your PC. Made with web technology (an electron app, check out https://electron.atom.io).

FreeShop is a god-like homebrew right now. But in some case, like you don't have internet connection at home (have to go somewhere to download games then put it to 3ds at home), or want to install the same games for multiple 3DSes. Then maybe this app will be useful and you don't have to go to some iso, chaotic site anymore.

Some feature:

- Download with near-maximum of your internet bandwidth (download directly on an o3ds and you only got 600kB/s).
- Generate clean .cia files, just like funkeycia.
- Support download with IDM (windows), uGet (linux) with large files so you can easily pause/resume them. From 0.1.0 this feature is removed and replaced by a better built-in downloader.
- Title icon, description, screenshot, QRcode,...

To-do:

* Download queue.
* Partly done - decrypt and generate .cxi files from cias for citra users.
* Done - QRcode reborn (I'll need to create an online service to make qrcode feature possible; the QRcode feature in previous 0.0.2 version is not allowed in gbatemp because involving that titlekey site).
* Done - Completely rework Download section with better coding, and with newer appearance.
* Done - Make built-in downloads multi-threaded and resumable. After this is done, support for external download manager might be removed due to its instability.
* Done in v0.2.0 - Check the downloaded files hashes for safer cias instead of checking just the file sizes.

FAQ:
- The game is installed fine, at can't startup (luma3ds exception occured or the console is restarted).
The title you've just installed requires additional seed. The easiest way to fix this: connect to the internet, open FBI, go to Titles > find that title > Choose Import seeds. Or here is another way.

See below screenshots for more:

Spoiler: Screenshots

You'll have to insert your own encTitleKeys.bin remote URL in "config" section for this app to work (upload your own to the cloud -or- find it at the site that everybody knows).

Credit:
- I did use some code from @cearp's funkeycia and @Ptrk25's cdn-fx source and ported it to javascript.

Thanks It made with electron (check out https://electron.atom.io). So basically it's a Chrome browser, and the app's GUI is the web page, so the app will be a bit heavy and ram and slow startup.

interesting thanks for the link!

Amazing. Thanks! Will try it out. :-)

Interesting development.

Wii U USB Helper can do this too, but that app is really slow to load (+5 minutes on my A10 processor laptop).

This loads so much faster, and the Material Design just feels nice.

Can't wait to see more updates, adding queues, and whatnot.

Well done!

Anything that distracts me from porn makes it pretty special.

I can't imagine someone said that it loads fast It's chromium so it's supposed to be heavy and slow for the price of easy development and cross-platform. But chrome loads fast, right?

And the main app is not really material design. It's using a css framework called bulma. The download section is, though.

Nice work; thanks for the project.

Villain3DS=RottenShop? Of course, you'd have to be a real villain.

oh thats really great

Is there a way to build a macOS version? I imagine there would be seeing as Linux is an option. I only ask because Bluestacks is garbage and I hate trying to use USB Helper with it.

Technically yes, I can build one for macOS too. But I need a make_cdn_cia binary file for macOS, and I couldn't find one yet.

Is the source for it available? If so I can try compiling it later tonight when I get home. Should be simple enough.

+1 on Material Design. Does Wii U USB Helper produce good/clean/proper/whateverterminologyyouwanttouse CIA's?
