Nice! Also, the sprite was flickering or having some weird defect if it was on the left side of the screen(the effect got worse as it got farther left). And the system force restarted when I exited.

I'm having a similar issue with my alpha pixel blitting func.
I think the problem is how alpha blending is called.

Any news on this?
Just registered to follow this project.
I have been working on a hobby project creating a sprite based game engine for Megaman-type games and using SDL2 as primary lib.
Would love to be able to port to 3DS :)

Hey, this looks awesome. I've used a little bit of SDL on PC and would love to be able to use it on 3DS.
Unfortunately I'm having trouble compiling it. I'm a noob at this but I did manage to compile the CTRULIB examples so I think I've got everything installed correctly.

I've attached an image which shows my setup and the errors I'm getting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. IDK if there's a step I missesd maybe. This image shows everything I did.

It looks like the project setup isn't compatible with the latest DevkitPro - I'm in the process of fixing up all the makefiles so it'll compile again - I'll stick it all on github when I'm done

I wound up also asking this my questioin in the Homebrew Development General thread and got some replies which also shed light on the issue.
For now, I wound up going with SF2DLIB which does most of what I'm looking for.
I'm sure anyone who stumbles across this thread would appreciate a working SDL for 3DS though and I definitely look forward to it. Pretty everything I've written for PC uses SDL so it'd be nice to easily port some of that stuff.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
