In the thread svcWaitSynchronization is waiting for threadRequest to be signaled (this what pressing the A button is does). When threadRequest is signaled the svcWaitSynchronization call returns and then the next call is to clear the event. It then updates the counter and svcWaitSynchronization waits for the event to be singled again.
Don't know how i could mis that, thanks! gonna try it again

Code:
u32 *threadStack = memalign(32, STACKSIZE);
Result ret = svcCreateThread(&threadHandle, threadMain, 0, &threadStack[STACKSIZE/4], 0x3f, 0);Why does it use index STACKSIZE/4
STACKSIZE is the size in bytes. ThreadStack is a u32 pointer - rather than a byte pointer, so the size is divided by the size of a u32 (which is 4) to translate. This puts the pointer just after the end of threadStack array. This is ok in this situation as a stack uses memory backwards. Oddly enough the function does not care how big the stack is - it is up to you to make sure you provided enough space for your code to run.

I wish I were cool like you guys so I could make/port things. 
I do have a question out of curiosity, though. If the 3DS uses the ARM architecture (Does homebrew use ARM9 or 11?) and OpenGL ES, would an open source emulator written for Android be easy(easier) to port to 3DS? I just want to be intrigued. lol If I could ever want anything on the 3DS, is for Reicast to even boot, even at 1fps. That would make me happy just because of how cool that system was. I'm almost certain the 3DS is way too weak to emulate the Dreamcast though, but I would have tried it if I were able to, because why not?

devkitpro is not a program by itself.. you need other tools to use those libraries..
like notepad++ / programmers notepad or some sort of ide... you can even use your windows texteditor to write code

I am going to assume at this point that you have put in no effort. Look at the examples. Build the examples. Modify the examples. Then come back when you have a specific question. Good question would be - I am trying to do "something specific". Here is what I tried "code example". The result was "picture/description". I was expecting "picture/description". Then ask for someone to review and suggest alternatives/corrections.
You should learn how to code first. After that figure out how emulators work (most of them are open source and you can look at the code). Finally, you will find that it is not possible to make a decent n64 emulator for the 3DS. If it is even possible to get games running.

Daedalus X64 for PSP is a pretty decent N64 emulator who support lot of retail games in fullspeed.
3DS is better then PSP (a lot better if compared to N3DS), so why not?
Architecture. The n64 and psp are both mips based, while the 3DS is ARM based. It would require a lot more effort to emulate the n64 on arm (a completly different architecutre) then on mips.
indeed, most n64 games where programmed with MIPS caveats in mind (big endian, branch delay slot [detects whether there is an upcoming re-usage of the current volatile register to be accesed and interlocks accordingly, which is the ability to stall the pipeline... ARM cant do that because at least in ARM9 is always 32bytes-constant of prefetch (pipeline refill)], five stage execution pipeline usage of full 64 registers[32 for GPSR, or "scratch pad registers" and 32 for FGRS ], co processors comms between units such RDP, etc). ARM Core is 16 volatile registers + PSR (both Saved and Current) with different cache management (round robin or random), three stage execution pipeline.
but i will say the TLB is somewhat similar to MMU

Type "I'm trying to make an n64 emulator for the 3ds" into a new text file about a hundred times. Save it and run it through devkit pro. Copy the error text that it outputs into a new text file, then run that file through devkit pro, and so on. You'll get there eventually.
and after 10 times you have to copy it into a new text file, name that "3DStoN64ConverterH0axByMe.3dsx" and run it with NINJHAX.
Just a quick question. What are the audio capabilities of the 3DS? I was thinking about porting GME (Game Music Emulator) or VGMStream. I'm working on VGMStream for the Wii and maybe porting GME also to the Wii (maybe a GME/VGMStream hybrid).
Do you think the 3DS is capable of playing back streamed music from video games? Or should I wait until a more robust SDK is out? DevKitARM for 3DS seems a little "half-baked" at the moment compared to the other SDK's.

I got a cool idea to for some vasic functions whoch could be very very handyfor homebrew devellopers. But for security reasons i don't really want to share the source code. Is it possible to create something similar to a .dll for homebrew devellopment (never did something like this in c)
Don't think you can use dynamically linked libraries with the 3ds(.CRO maybe, but I don't think there's really any support for them), you might just have to create a statically linked library and just publish the resulting binary (.a i think) and headers. I don't think many people are going to go for a closed source library around here though.
