We’ve put together this list of our personal choices of the nine (well, technically it’s 24) games we think are worth buying before the Wii U and 3DS eShops close for good. Naturally, not every Wii U or 3DS exclusive is an essential title, but there are some gems that players should definitely snap up before they’re no longer available. On 22nd of August, Nintendo expanded this change to all of their commercial applications.However, as detailed in our analysis of the Wii U and 3DS eShop closures, hundreds of exclusive games will effectively disappear forever once the stores close. Before 9th of August, while tickets would not _need_ to be send along, Nintendo would still verify and reject downloads with an incorrectly signed ticket (this could be seen in freeShop by trying to do a sleep download, which uses the `nim` module, which would subsequently fail). On 9th of August, 2018, Nintendo started enabling requiring these headers on a small number of titles, mostly 1st and 2nd party titles. Programs like freeShop make their own tickets, which are considered incorrectly signed. When CFW is installed (such as Luma3DS), it is possible to disable the signature checks for these tickets on the system itself. Tickets on the 3DS are signed by a key that Nintendo only has and is not considered Reverse Engineerable (meaning it's not possible to make your own correctly signed tickets). One of these headers is a base64 version of the ticket. This system update changed the 'nim' module (which is used by the 3DS itself to install titles and system updates) to send along two new headers. On July the 30th, 2018, Nintendo released 3DS system update 11.8.0-41. Use latest citro2d if you want to compile this for some reason. If you want to use freeShop for some reason, compile it with the instructions in the wiki and stub out the update checker. If you want to get the original freeShop source code, roll back to commit '7b9e5b2070'. It's pretty much a stubbed application showing two screens. No, freeShop is patched and there is no fixes available (see below). Originally made by TheCruel, this is a community freeShop fork from the original and as of 2018 the application no longer works. It allows you to browse and install titles you own (i.e. This application has been obsoleted by one or more applications that serve the same purpose, but are more stable or maintained.įreeShop is an open source eShop alternative for the Nintendo 3DS.
