Hacking Gaming Hardware Homebrew Is there a way to port "Pizza Tower" onto a New 3DS XL (That's Already Modded)?

[SuperStarGaming]

Basically, I want to know if it's possible to port Pizza Tower, (a somewhat simple steam indie game) either the entire game or atleast the 2019 Sage Demo onto a Modded 3DS

Any Answers or Tips to do it will be useful!!

I can't answer this myself in a very good way.

Short answer, the game despite being 2D, needs hardware more powerful that this console has. There is a reason the only "port" of the game is for the Steam Deck.

There's a port on the switch, fyi

But yeah, the switch is more powerful than the 3ds, of course

ITS NOT OFFICIALLY OUT RIGHT NOW + ITS PIRATING

 

[AmandaRose]

ITS NOT OUT RIGHT NOW

The unofficial port has been out for months and can be easily found online.

but to hack a switch you either need an og model or an expensive modchip + its pirating cuz the download comes with the game files

the unofficial port runs 60fps but I wouldn't recommend downloading it cuz it comes with the game files which is pirating

You said there was no port available and I have shown you there was. Why are you finding it so hard to admit you were wrong?

i literary edited my second message right after I saw the Reddit link
I'm not saying I'm not wrong I'm just saying there is no OFFICAL port yet

Yes with a stupid message about piracy on a site that people come to for advice on how to hack their consoles so as to be able to play pirated games and homebrew. You also posted that in a thread where the OP wanted an unofficial port of the game lol. Kid you are funny.

first of all, they never said unofficial
second of all, 2/3 people don't hack consoles to pirate
third of all, just pirate the game on Steam deck or pc. if you can buy a switch modchip or og switch, you can afford a steam deck
fourth of all, he wanted a 3ds port, what does any of this have to do with the 3ds

First of all The very title of the thread is what?

Oh yes IT is clearly Is there a way to port Pizza Tower?

That tells you they want an unofficial port of the game otherwise the title would have been

Is there a port of pizza tower.

Secondly Where is our proof that 2/3 of people who hack their console don't pirate games??

For having tested it with Yoyoloader on the vita, I don't think that a port on 3DS or even on N3DS gives a satisfactory result, on PS Vita, some textures are missing and it's very buggy, unfortunately, I don't think that the 3DS is powerful enough to run this game

In theory, but Game Maker games are relatively demanding to run (because they aren't native code and there is no JIT), older Android devices struggled to run even simple GM:S games, and those are more powerful than the 3DS.

Edit: Actually, it's likely that yoyoloader wouldn't even run on the 3DS. The Vita is ARMv7 based, like most devices were until ARMv8 went mainstream. The 3DS is based on the ancient ARMv6 architecture. Only a few of the very earliest budget Android smartphones ran on ARMv6, ARMv7 was standard even back then, that's how old it is. That means that the GM:S runner probably never had an ARMv6 compatible version, since GM:S wasn't introduced until years later. And it's even less likely that whatever much newer version of the runner Pizza Tower requires would have an ARMv6 compatible version.

Game Maker Studio can export games to many different consoles if you purchase the enterprise bundle.
