This program creates a web page listing from user-provided CIAs. Generated web page includes a sortable table with auto-generated QR codes for downloading/installing the CIAs over LAN via FBI.

Game titles link to descriptions on www.gametdb.com, and table also pulls cover art from there. Uses Python SimpleHTTPServer, so just one download request/thread at a time.

It was originally developed to help distributing CIAs between family's DSes.

User guide

Requires Python 2.7 to run:

  • Edit BuildCatalog.py. Set "releasesXML" and "ciaFolder".
  • Create a folder to match the name set in "ciaFolder"
  • Dump all desired CIAs into the created folder (subfolders are OK).
  • Run BuildCatalog.py
  • Edit StartServer.py. Set "PORT".
  • Run StartServer.py.

Note: To use an updated releases list, download 3dsreleases.xml from http://www.3dsdb.com.
