Installing Software

This is the hShop icon and banner. If you do not see this on your home screen, it may not be installed. For installing hShop, please follow instructions on opening FBI and installing the 3hs.cia file.

hShop has several folders and categories. Under each of these categories there will be subcategories, which are usually regions such as North America (where games in English would fall), Japan, etc.

After selecting the category and region, you will see a large list. This list can be sorted by different filters. It is sorted by alphabetical order by default. Once you find the content you want to download, press A. To add the software to a queue, press Y. (From the queue you can install all queued software.)

Once you do, a "More about this content" menu will appear. This shows the version and product code along side everything else. To install, press A. To go back, press B.

hShop has a few different search functions:

• Normal, search by text with some filters and things

• Text, like normal search, but no filters

• hShop ID, search by software database ID (technical)

• Title ID, search by software Title ID (technical)

• Product code, cartridge product code (technical)

• Legacy, more complicated version of normal search, but works the same

This is what normal search looks like, you can select what types of content should be included in the search, what regions, and then you would enter your query in the box that says (empty) . Just tap on it.

This keyboard input should pop up. You can type anything, but as an example I just typed animal crossing. Once you finish typing, press OK.

(empty) should now show up with your query (ex. animal crossing.)

Press Submit to load a list of results.

Now, you can select which one you want to install from the list. Remember to check the category to see if it's the right software.

In this case this is an update for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.

Press A once to load the "More about this content" menu, and then press A again to start installing.
