[Request] Can you make it with the GUI of freeShop? #27

Hello, this is great so far! I would just like it to be like freeShop so you could search for homebrews and other stuff like that.

Wolvan commented 7 years ago

You can already search for Homebrew by pressing Start and setting a filter. A full Freeshop styled interface would probably require a full rewrite. What other features do you want from Freeshop?

rpalmon commented 7 years ago

There is probably somewhere in the code of freeShop that has where it uses the titlekey site. From there you could fork it and make it so it gets all the data from the titleDB site and has the nice GUI with the description and icon.

Unfortunately, that is not as easy as you make it sound. First of all, Freeshop and Homebrew are 2 entirely different programming languages and secondly is that I am not even sure if cruel would allow me to even fork his interface like that.

@Cruel would trying to fork Freeshop and turn it into Homebr3w 2.0 be OK?

rpalmon commented 7 years ago

But the homebrew from this application actually installs them as cias and not 3dsx's. And freeshop downloads cias. (As I have a9lh)

Freeshop does not download .cias, Freeshop downloads the games' data straight from Nintendo's servers. And that still does not change the fact that Homebr3w is written in LUA while Freeshop is written in C++ iirc

I see. 2.0 could be a true re-design. Hopefully @cruel says that it is ok. As long as we give credit, right?
