Before you say "there are threads about editing the home menu", le'mme tell you, by "custom", I meant that YOU program the home menu! Yes, it's now possible to make your own custom home menu from scratch! :D

Requirements:
  • patched ctrulib (Github repo coming in a few days)
  • the home menu project template (Github repo coming in a few days)
  • prior C or C++ programming knowledge
  • patience and strong nerves (this is only a template for getting stuff work! you'll need to make your home menu from scratch!)
Known (and fixable) bugs:
  • linear memory allocation fails on new3DS (default ctrulib memory allocation)
  • launching an application normally softlocks the system (not fully implemented initialization code)
  • pressing home button softlocks the system (leftover ctrulib code)
  • untested, but pressing home button in an application should softlock the system (missing APT event handling)

Notes:
  • this thread is intended only for developers, because it'll only contain a link to the repo with some instructions, please no "no pics, no clicks" comments! this is only a project template, so screenshots are irrelevant
  • there's no way the project would be abandoned at this point, because I'm thru' the hardest part (initializing APT:S under AppID 0x103), and it only needs some more bugfixes and patches, so please no hate because I posted a thread without any links (yes, exceptionally I'm now an attention whore :P I need more motivation, don't blame me please)

Extra credits:
  • Many people on 3DSHacks Discord for help and motivation
  • #3dsdev IRC for helping with some ctrulib issues

You're not supposed to do that.
Also, I've taken a look at your sig. You can't specify the size of an image. Remove that "255,255" part, and also also, use a smaller image, because 255x255 is way too large for a sig. IIRC the maximum height for your entire signature can only be 150 pixels.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
