HoyoSophonDL CLI is a Python-based reimplementation of HoYoPlay’s downloader logic. It allows users to list, validate, and download game assets directly from HoYoPlay manifests, with support for multi-threading, resumable downloads, and optional GUI mode.
Project description
HoyoSophonDL
HoyoSophonDL is a Python-based tool that replicates and simplifies the core functionality of HoYoPlay's internal downloader systems — inspired by
Hi3Helper.Sophon and SophonDownloader.
It supports both CLI and GUI modes, allowing users to download and manage HoYoPlay game assets efficiently.
🎯 Goal & Purpose
HoyoSophonDL is a Python-native reimplementation of HoYoPlay’s internal downloader logic.
Its primary goals are to:
- Provide a lightweight, cross-platform, and open-source downloader for HoYoPlay assets.
- Offer both a command-line interface (CLI) and a PyQt6 GUI for convenience.
- Enable multi-threaded, resumable, and cancelable downloads.
- Simplify asset management, manifest parsing, and patch version handling.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
This is an unofficial third-party tool unaffiliated with HoYoverse or Cognosphere.
It is designed purely for educational and experimental purposes.
🚀 Features
- 🧩 CLI downloader with progress tracking via
rich - 🖥️ PyQt6 GUI with progress bars, pause/resume/cancel controls
- ⚙️ Multi-threaded downloads using
ThreadPoolExecutor - 💾 Automatic resume via lightweight SQLite tracking
- 🔄 Asset validation and integrity checks
- 📦 Optional standalone
.exebuilder (Windows)
🧩 Installation
Option 1 — Install from GitHub
If the package isn’t yet on PyPI, you can install it directly:
pip install git+https://github.com/Jo0X01/HoyoSophonDL.git
Or clone and install manually:
git clone https://github.com/Jo0X01/HoyoSophonDL.git
cd HoyoSophonDL
pip install .
Option 2 — Install from PyPI (after publishing)
CLI-only (lightweight):
pip install HoyoSophonDL
With GUI (PyQt6) support:
pip install HoyoSophonDL[gui]
If you plan to build an executable:
pip install auto-py-to-exe

🏗️ Building Executables (Windows)
You can turn your Python project into a standalone .exe using auto-py-to-exe
🧱 Architecture Target
Your build’s architecture (x86 or x64) depends on your Python interpreter:
- To build x64, use 64-bit Python.
- To build x86, install 32-bit Python and rebuild.
