There are probably other utilities like this, but I thought I'd share mine. Nothing fancy. I put this together last week to make distributing CIAs to my family's DSes easier.
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.
To do (maybe someday, but I don't really need it): Add error logging for unparseable titleids and games not found in release XML
Requires Python 2.7
To use an updated releases list, download '3dsreleases.xml' from http://www.3dsdb.com/
- 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
