Hacking [Proof-Of-Concept] N3dES

[CollosalPokemon]

this thing is so slow though i cant even tell if even does anything ,and the thing that pisses me off about it is that there is no start button,so how can we get passed the title screen when you have to press start but there is no start button? should have rather left out select rather that start,but really shouldnt leave out either
is there some other button that is supposed to the start button?

Button A = both Start and A in JSNES coding and configuration so I just put the A button because I wanted to save space, because there's not much left =p But a lot of others can and have seen it do stuff, granted slowly due to browser's current limits. Those are limits far away from its max though.

ok thanks i wasnt sure if it was the pause /resume button. but is that button really needed? i mean i has reset, why not get rid of the pause and put in a start button instead?
would make more sense for games in the future,maybe ina future release? but hopefully by then we have better browser updates and button input ,if thats even possible

if only we could use JS to install a backup manager or custom homebrew

Start = A

So putting a start button would be equal to adding a copy of the A button =p It would really just be there for looks but A and Start are the same code-wise, at least in the emu. (0x13; not talking about multiplication)
I don't plan on physical button support, at least not now. The issue is the physical buttons are linked with 3DS web browser functions (scroll page, open menu, etc) which I can't just say "don't do those functions". I may reorganize the bottom screen to look more like the NES controller to make things better though if I get some open time.

I am looking into some new things which may be incorporated soon.

does the 3DS browser support websockets ? Does the 3DS buttons trigger events ?

Can't use anything dealing with the browser (with the exception of maybe throwing some kind of error that it can't handle) since it is in a sandbox.

I don't believe it can handle websockets, but I'm not too sure about it. I just remember going to a site that seemed to use them, but it brought up an error involving them.

well it could have a toggle switch for button support of have it go to full screen and have button support, then when you touch say an x on the bottom screen and it goes to non full screen the buttons would go back to operating the browser

You don't understand: The buttons control the browser. You can't change that. It's not that he is unwilling to do so, it's that it's possible.

I can't reach the site. It says 'Communication Failure'.

Keep refreshing.

I'm trying to get it working, but all I get is the zoom instructions and that is all.

Very Nice!

Perhaps a DDOS =p Nintendo didn't block it, or I don't they did, because that would likely be part of an update which would disable going to websites using n3des.bytehost6.....etc. Also it seems computers have a hard time connecting aswell. But constantly refreshing will not help the situation in any case. But anyways this is fair game between Nintendo and me, since I used no hacking and exactly the capabilities of what they gave everyone.

As long as some people are still interested : I have been working, unsuccessfully at that, at getting a screenshot saved from the web page to the SD =p it seems that they limited canvas just barely enough to make this not possible atm It's not that I can't save to the SD, that's possible, but converting a canvas to an image (PNG/JPEG/BMP) is not supported or every method I've tried doesn't work.

Nintendo wouldn't block you, that'd be against the law. It's not a DDoS either, because your webhost would simply null route everything and block your account. You can blame your webhost for having such terrible peering / connectivity. I recommend moving it elsewhere, such as bplaced.net, 110mb.com, 000webhost or some other similar good free host.

Well, I haven't been able to try it because I can't choose a game or anything (Stuck at the Zoom Screen), but it looks good so far. Takes a while to load though. :/

its completely unplayable, nice concept but the processing power just isnt there. One would need to code a browser from the ground up and be able to use the the 3ds's cpu to crunch numbers. This wont happen until someone hacks it.

I didn't say it worked/played well =p but I show it is not "impossible" to at least run NES in 3DS browser. In fact I state many times it runs very slowly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am thinking of moving servers (suggest by Antoligy) so I'll update if/when that happens with new website name. I just have to find which one has better ToS and bandwidth/etc for this. I don't think website-side cpu is a problem because this doesn't even use 1% cpu of the previous hosts.

p.s. this showing up in so many places o_0 I didn't think it would go out of this thread at the speed it runs at.

You know that JS is a client-side language, don't you?

Of course, but other posts were talking about cpu usage on hosts may be problematic but it won't be which is what we both said...

This thread is so touchy. I am just happy someone had an idea like this. I am not even hoping it goes anywhere. Just that it was done is cool enough for the 3DS scene, which at this time has gone no where really except crown3ds. They haven't even claimed to be able to get homebrew working yet. So bravo!
