Homebrew [Release] Sunshell - A powerfull shell for 3DS

[Shadowtrance]

Anyone who has at least 2 consoles for testing IrDA protocool?

Yes, i have an old 3ds and new 3ds i could test with.

 

[Rinnegatamante]

is there a possibilityto implement a weather app / widget with Yahoo Weather?

E.G.
- The evaluation is performed by a web server: Output = Contition Code
- The 3DS get the condition code via internet connection
- The recion code / ZIP Code for the country / city could set in the config file of sunshell.?
- Sunshell has a "if / case"- query to show the right img rom Sunshell dir: e.g. the 3DS gets the contitioncode 16, so Sunshell looks for picture nr. 16 and the accompanying description (in this case its "snow" to show it on the screen

Made a little test, for me it works but don't know if the API i'm using is compatible with a good amount of cities.
If someone wants to test, please replace original sun_index.lua and 3dsx file with this: http://rinnegatamante.it/sun_index.rar
Open sun_index.lua with a Text reader and search for this piece of code:

-- BETATEST: Wheater Api test
function explode(div,str)
    pos = 0
    arr = {}
    for st,sp in function() return string.find(str,div,pos,true) end do
        table.insert(arr,string.sub(str,pos,st-1))
        pos = sp + 1
    end
    table.insert(arr,string.sub(str,pos))
    return arr
end
 
Screen.refresh()
country = "it"
zipcode = "40138"
if Network.isWifiEnabled() then
    weather_info = Network.requestString("http://rinnegatamante.it/weather_api.php?z="..zipcode.."&c="..country)
    ShowWarning(weather_info)
    parser_index = 1
    info_offset = 1
    size = string.len(weather_info)
    if weather_info == "//-274" then
        ShowError("Unknown city for weather widget.")
    else
        weather_strings = explode("/",weather_info)
        ShowWarning("City: "..weather_strings[3].." - Temp: "..weather_strings[4].." - Weather: "..weather_strings[1].." ("..weather_strings[2]..")")
    end
end

Ediy country and zipcode with your info and start Sunshell with WiFi on.
During startup you must see a warning with weather info about your city.

Please report me if it works correctly.

Yeah, I got a N3DS with GW/ninjhax and 2 more O3DS XL's with GW/Ninjhax compatibility.

So...Any ETA on getting 3D videos working? I saw you posted something earlier mentioning you got this working somehow. I await to see it. Is JPGV format have comparable quality as the video format used by the 3DS Camera App? Does JPGV use the same amount of space as the other or does it take up more space at a given quality level compared to the 3DS Camera App. I won't really play around with this till it has 3D functionality.

3D reproduction cause a huge frame drop, anyway, lpp-3ds is fully working with 3D videos.
When i release v.0.3.1, i release also an update for vid2jpgv for 3D support.

How come I get an error when trying to launch this for the first time? I'm using v 0.3, and trying to launch it with a gateway.

Error: [string "?"]:35: attempt to index a nil value (global 'Font')


edit
I was able to load it from the homebrew menu via ninjahx, works great. But still I couldn't launch the 3DS file via gateway. Also, I hate to ask but the movie converter app is 64-bit only?

Seems you imported an old version of lpp-3ds. Try to re-download v.0.3 and check if re-importing CIA could solve the problem.

For video converter, currently i have only a 64 bit OS and my VMware Workstation license expired so i cannot compile for other systems.
Anyway, you can find sources in vid2jpgv RAR archive so you can easily compile it by yourself with gcc.

I read somewhere that someone makes a new graphic lib with more speed
try it

Using GPU for dynamic rendering is shitty cause you have first to decode JPEG frame with CPU, after you have to convert it to GPU texture and after you have to blend it on framebuffers. Is slower than CPU rendering.

There is a pull request for ctrulib that adds some block encode flags to the gx buffer transfer functions. I am wondering if these can be used to transfer textures and or frame buffers. Have not tried it myself.

Probably the only way to make GPU rendering faster for these things is to decode frames directly through GPU and not through CPU but at this stage is kinda impossible.

Hey a dumb question which is probably answered before but why I can't run this on my n3ds emunand which is on 9.5? I installed the cia file and all i get is a black screen then i have to force shut down the console.

Have you read the readme for installation?

Cool looking theme

It's nice but could you release a version without the things that clearly relate to android, like the bugdroids on certain icons and the play store icon? We clearly know the 3DS can't run android, I think it's silly to make it look like it, even though I think if the android related stuffs are removed it could be a really nice theme.
