Homebrew 3DS JavaScript Interpreter

Termer · Sep 19, 2017

Hello tempers! Recently I found something very interesting. It was a JavaScript interpreter that runs on the 3DS. I only found the repo and was too lazy to compile it. In the description it displays a link for the author's github pages site, but it is not up. In a last attempt to find some info on this, I checked to see of the Internet Archive had it. It didn't. The application is called CTRJS and it is by Symbitic. This is the repo URL: https://github.com/Symbitic/CTRJS.
It would be much appreciated if someone could tell me more about this, and if someone would compile it. My computers DevKitPro is crapped up.
Thanks!

It's also worth noting that I can't find Symbitic on GBATemp, and he hasn't logged into GitHub for years.

He has a commit last month?
https://github.com/Symbitic/node-dl/commits/master
(He has an email on his profile page, might try that)

I recognize that avatar. I think he does have an account here but can't remember the name.

Does JavaScript not work in the 3DS' browser?

JavaScript does work in browser, but this is for standalone cias and 3dsxs, actual applications, not webpages.

AFAIK, that project is abandoned, and I don't know if it works, but I do have a project which uses duktape, a famous JavaScript interpreter for C and C++, and executes JS code efficiently on 3DS.

It currently loads plain JS, no Node functions, but I'm adding lots of 3DS features to make able to create homebrew apps just using JS.

Thanks for telling me about this! I really appreciate it!
