Correct. Sf2dlib uses the ctrulib gpu calls but making it simpler; you can mix the two but only well knowing what you're doing. Better using only sf2dlib if you're not experienced.
If you want to use low level calls, study citro3d. It's only a little higher level than ctrulib gpu functions but it's easier. Sf2dlib is a great library but it's no more maintained afaik.

I took your advice and starting learning citro3d. I learned the simple_tri and system_font examples and the accompanying shaders. Thank you!
Now I'm trying to add text to my program like before, but again I can't seem to draw and do text on the same screen...
For text I need the Y origin at the bottom:
But for drawing triangles I need the Y origin at the top:
If I change the origin for either, it doesn't work. How can I draw triangles with the Y origin at the bottom?

Is there any decent library for text?? SFTD is too buggy, I gave up on trying to use citro3d because, like the text console, I still couldn't have anything but text on one screen. The only other thing I've found is STB, but I haven't made any progress on figuring out how to use it from examples because I'm so exhausted from trying and failing so much to just draw text... If it sounds like I'm exasperated, I am. ><
Hallo, I want to ask something:
Is this going to help me to develop many stuff?
I'm interested in homebrew games, and one or two personal use homebrew apps. The first one being a digital painting app, and the other... I dunno... I'll see later.

citro3d still uses the finalize call - so either fix the warning or remove the warnings as error flag.
There are some notes in ctrulib for the commit that added the deprecated attribute.
- Deprecated GPUCMD_Finalize/Run/FlushAndRun:
- Use GPUCMD_Split + GX_ProcessCommandList instead
Strange, I updated everthing this week and had no problems
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Oh yes, I remember. I used the Next branch, not the master, of citro 3d
You could try with it, it'a a developement version bur seems to be stable

Which programming languages should I learn to start out with 3ds development?? Some point down the line I want to try and build a custom firmware I imagine it will be a huge task but where would be a good place to start
definively start with C.
But if you already don't know coding, CFW or 3ds coding is not for for you. Try first a simple hello world program on windows (or linux.)
It's possible if you manage to obtain a copy of Unity for 3DS from some shady source. But in this case you may not publish your game on this site(or on most most sites). This method isn't recommended. Porting Mono by yourself would be a huge undertakement. There exist some tools which convert C# to C++(Unity has it's own and uses it for it's mobile platforms including the 3DS) but I doubt those are suitable for 3DS development.
There are two major programming languages in the 3DS dev scene: C and C++. Besides these two it's also possible to program in Lua but this is limited to normal applications. And really, writing a custom firmware doesn't only need a good programming skills but also great knowledge about the 3DS architecture. If your'e just starting, writing a CFW in near future is an unrealistc goal.
But if you're still interested in homebrew programming I recommend you to simply start by learning Lua for the PC.
EDIT: ah, I was ninjaed. C is also an option, but if you're a total beginner, I would definitely recommend Lua over C

I have some experience with programming i did computing for 2 years at school and my first year of college and i am a quick learner do you know what would be some good places so start learning c and c++ is it worth buying textbooks??
