Homebrew Where do I get .3dsx files?

[khangress]

newbie question, I know. A few apps aren't showing up on the homebrew menu but definitely work on ironhax, probably because I don't know how to get their .3dsx file.

You need to compile it yourself. See more here; http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/3DS_Homebrew_Development

What firmware are you on and what are you trying to use.

What firmware are you on and what are you trying to use.

3ds v 9.9, ironhax v 1.0, trying to use 3dscontroller and ftpony

Make sure the file path looks like this its the same for ANY homebrew
(Drive letter)-> 3ds ->App Folder (same name as App) ->App with SMDH
So for example D -> 3ds -> 3DSController -> 3DSController.3dsx/3DSController.smdh

do I need both a .3dsx and .smdh files?

yes

No, an smdh isn't necessary, it just provides info and an icon for the homebrew.
And BTW, AFAIK FTP-3DS is better than ftpony, which I think is outdated.

Well, you don't always have to compile it yourself, certain homebrew is already compiled and ready to use.

Most homebrews are released in .3dsx form, and the few that aren't are usually compiled by someone else already and most are posted here somewhere. If you find a homebrew that isn't compiled yet it's not too hard, just setup the environment and run the command "make" in the project folder.
