Homebrew [Release] Lua Player Plus 3DS (lpp-3ds) - LUA interpreter for 3DS

Umm... how do I build it? I get the following errors:

Besides from Python 3.1, should I install anything else?

You need devkitpro also.

void System.addNotification(string title, string text) - Add a news to official Nintendo News applet.
Sample usage: System.addNotification("Congrats!","You installed lpp-3ds successfully!")

What exactly does this do?

 

[730]

You need devkitpro also.

It's already installed Should I set a PATH variable?

Pretty sure it "pushes" a news to the green news thingie in the home menu.

DevkitPro installer should set it automatically. Check if you have arm-none-eabi-strip.exe file in your devkitpro binaries folder.

That's cool, I didn't think that was possible. 3dbrew states that notifications are stored in news.db on NAND. :o

I set some paths and now it works, though I have some questions:
Is that Python thing necessary? I don't want to have 3 versions of Python lying around :/
And how do I build a 3dsx? Should I do that on my own with makerom and the .elf?

makerom is needed only for 3DS/CIA files.
Python is necessary but you can use whatever version you want of Python3.

Because it didn't build a 3dsx at all...
So should I edit the Makefile so it executes my version of Python 3 (3.4)?

Of course you should edit makefile to match your python version.

Now it can't find c:/devkitPro/msys/aemstro_as.py, which indeed isn't there...

IDK if it'll help you but this is the tutorial I used to get LPP compiled.
If you want I can attach a compiled .3dsx of the latest commit.

EDIT: Get the Aemstro here

Sorry I'm a complete noob. How do I use this on a Mac?

Here's a little quick start guide

1. Download Citra (3DS Emulator)
2. You might have to set up citra's folders a bit. In the same directory as the citra and citra-qt files, you'll need to create the folder path /user/sdmc if it doesn't exist.
3. In the sdmc folder place lpp-3ds.3dsx and an index.lua file. You can copy one of the samples from the lpp folder you download, and rename it to be index.
4. Open citra-qt, and in the file menu navigation to lpp-3ds.3dsx and run it.
5. Boom! Citra is running your lua script.
6. Learn LUA and edit index.lua and make your program!

Ahhh I downloaded Aemstro and it didn't work. Don't really want to download all that stuff so if you'd be so kind...

Here you go. Loads index.lua in root directory.

you should install aemstro and set environment variable AEMSTRO

How do I use the screen enabling/disabling functions? I've tried Controls/Screen.enable/disableScreen()/(TOP_SCREEN) and they don't work (error: attempt to call a nil value (field 'disableScreen')).

 

[Rinnegatamante]

They both are available for Controls module only for private version (Not R3).
