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
Take your Time! We wait! ;)

I'm still working on it, tho' currently it softlocks somewhere before I could even init anything :/ I blame threads :<
ok. I really want to see progress on this, a couple of people were asking for this in the "homebrew ideas/suggestions" thread, but glad to see its making progress!

hell yeah
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.

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

    @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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
