This release contains new features to make installations safer and easier to recover from on failures, as well as new QoL improvements.

Note for Windows 7 users: Future releases may be built with Python 3.9 which drops support for Windows 7!

custom-install 2.1b1

  • Installs are written to a visible temporary folder before being moved into place. If an install fails in the middle, it won't leave a half-written title buried in the Nintendo 3DS folder
  • CDN contents can be installed directly
  • Title contents are verified during install and an error is shown if verification fails
  • Titles that succeeded and failed to be installed are shown at the end
  • All titles are loaded and parsed at the beginning so a broken one won't stop the others
  • Certain kinds of titles such as DSiWare and duplicate files are blocked
    • This doesn't yet stop two files with the same Title ID however! This only stops adding the same file twice.
  • Free space is checked to make sure all titles can be installed
  • cifinish.bin is loaded and checked for corruption early (if it exists), which can happen if an issue exists on the SD card filesystem.
  • File list replaced with a column list that shows Title ID and title name, and is sorted alphabetically

custom-install-finalize 1.5

  • Delete cifinish.bin if no errors occurred during ticket install

custom-install-finalize is provided as a separate download primarily for non-Windows users.
