When I saw this title, I instantly thought of "Moonshell" for DS flashcards. It had my fav image viewer/video player on the DS. Will Sun shell actually be able to scroll on images properly, an improvement over CHMM/Organiz3d?

Alright here's my first attempt at a 3D Banner for your program. I did plan on having a sea shell in the scene, but the only one I found was too high poly and the 3DS wouldn't load the banner (so there's a definite poly limit for this. :P ). If someone could help find one (preferrably a classic clamshell design) I can retweak it. It needs to be in a format 3DS Max can use. OBJ, DAE, 3DS, MAX... You get the idea. :P


(texture on banner box placeholder until a final design is available)

I can also enlarge the banner box or remove the skydome and replace with floating clouds and a 2D sun instead if you want. :D

Why the odd video formats? Can't you just add .MP4 and .MKV support? MKV is even open-source, and sounds easy to implement.

i was thinking the same thing..but i think its because its only user access..so perhaps we can only go with the format already supported by the 3DS ?..not sure..

You can't just "add .MP4 and .MKV support" Both formats are container formats. That means I can put a video stream of whatever codec and 5 audio streams of various bitrates and codecs. The problem is not the extension, the problem is the format.

The 3DS can already play .MP4 video files naively in the camera app though, so why can't that be implemented? I just hate the 10 minute limit, and would love to drop and play a movie, or anime episodes on there.

Nobody's asked yet so...

You mentioned 3dsx/cia launcher, do you mean there might be a way to launch a .3dsx without Ninjhax/Cubic through CFW or a Gateway card?

It looks like, from reading the OP, you need to run this from a CIA, 3ds, or 3dsx file. So you probably need one of those methods in order to use it in the first place.

Building in FTP (through FTpony or whatever it is now) would be a great idea.

This could be usefull, maybe i can adapt ftpBrony srcs to show how convert an homebrew to a C module.

I have never heard of JPGV and BMPV

How do I convert to that format?

You can find converters in my lpp-3ds repository:
https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/lpp-3ds/tree/master/BMPV
https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/lpp-3ds/tree/master/JPGV

And this is a reproduction sample through my filebrowser ORGANIZ3D:

NicEXE answered you.
MP4 and MKV are container formats but you need to write a proper decoder for any audiocodec/videocodec these files support.
For now, lpp-3ds supports PCM-16 (stereo/mono) and ADPCM (only mono for now) codecs for audio and no one popular videocodec (JPGV and BMPV files uses a sequence of images like MPEG-1).

Nobody's asked yet so...

You mentioned 3dsx/cia launcher, do you mean there might be a way to launch a .3dsx without Ninjhax/Cubic through CFW or a Gateway card?

As i said and as can be seen from srcs, if you launch Sunshell from ninjhax, you can launch 3dsx homebrews.
If you launch Sunshell as an imported CIA, you can launch imported cias and retail cartridge (still to add).

The 3DS can already play .MP4 video files naively in the camera app though, so why can't that be implemented? I just hate the 10 minute limit, and would love to drop and play a movie, or anime episodes on there.

lol, Camera App is not opensource...
JPGV and BMPV files have no time limitations ( http://rinnegatamante.netsons.org/videos/test2.php )
