Homebrew Post Homebrew ideas, suggestion, requests here

Ok, I don't have any idea if this is feasible but:
I don't currently own a NDS flashcart and would like to play rom hacks using my legit cartridge. Is there any way to have something similar to the romFS support Luma has for NDS games? I understand that dumping the cart, applying patches and using the hacked rom with TWLoader is an option but compatibility with most homebrew/rom hacks seems iffy at the time.

It would be nice if the homebrew app store was still kicking.

How about an app that can temporarily "shut off" slot 1. Or, better yet, default to boot with it off, but can turn it on. Why? Because ds2 cards drain the battery. With this, I could keep my ds2 permanently in my 3ds and I'd have all my 3ds and ds games always at my fingertips.

Also, something that can read normal video files (of normal length). Even mp4 would be okay.

Hacking the pokemon typing adventure keyboard to play old PC games that require no Keyboard.

3D Calibrator, also a way to redirect the input to circlepad pro on o3ds

Can somebody make a noob friendly CIA dumper?

If using godmode9 to dump Cia is hard then you probably shouldn't be trying to dump cias

Things I would like to see developed:
1. Maybe a working port of pokemon uranium, and maybe a working port of AMR2 would be nice, because I would love to play it on 3ds xD.
2. A port of UNDERTALE. (Yes, I know somebody might already be working on it lol.)
3. A good twitch port for 3ds.
4. A new update for CIAngel, because it's not getting the latest games despite me updating wings.json
5. A simpler theme creator for crying out loud!!!!!!

A homebrew to be able to convert GW saves without the need of the cart

this inst a homebrew app but a exploit,
NOTE: JUST AN IDEA
backfliphax for Flipnote Studio 3D
it needs 1 3DS with Custom Firmware installed (to access files)
basically what you do is you make a flipnote with at least 10 frames and a maximum of 20 frames.
set the speed of the flipnote to 6:
now transfer it to a 3DS with CFW (you dont need to do that if the flipnote was made on the CFW'd 3ds)
use something like godmode9 to replace files on the flipnote
then open flipnote and transfer it (or back)
when they run it, homebrew boots up!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT COULD BE REAL, LIKE I SAID, JUST AN IDEA I HAD.

A browser that supports flash/html5, so watching video’s from other sources will be possible. Or if someone can share me a tutorial on making homebrews, i currently only have knowledge on making android custom roms, android app making and ds program’s...

4. A new update for CIAngel, because it's not getting the latest games despite me updating wings.json

shouldnt really be using ciangel. freeshop (the new fork) is fine

3. A good twitch port for 3ds.

direct app would be illegal, so cant do much other then make like a browser or something

5. A simpler theme creator for crying out loud!!!!!!

can +1 this. but guides exist lol

 

[metastase]

Tbh I'd be very happy with the english SmileBASIC v3.3.2 but it doesn't seem to exist anywhere anymore...

It there something similar available via homebrew? I know about the EasyRPG player too for RPGM2K.

It won't work. Luckily an actual exploit for Flipnote Studio 3D is currently being made, and you don't even need a CFW 3DS for it.

I personally would have like to see a good mp3/flac player which can scrobble music to last.fm and a GBA emulator would be pretty cool too so I don't have to buy a flashcard for my SP.

tbh the only thing im waiting for is a mod for the old 3ds on 11.5 sucks that it updated to that didnt block the servers fast enough

Gtfo, CIAngel works perfectly fine and still has features FreeShop never will, and has access to the entire title key db without needing to wait for cache updates

 

[pandavova]

I would love a app that just put 2 Activity Logs together so you have 1 with both data...
If you want to tell me about Cthulhu, its tooooo slow and painful to use. You need to press for every thing one time and can't scroll. I hope someone makes a tool like this...

Well I certainly touched a sensitive spot XD

But these are features that can be added assuming someone isn't lazy and wants to put in the work

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Besides, dont you also have to wait for wings.json anyway?

I'm one of the lead devs of CIAngel. Of course you telling people not to use my tool is going to annoy me.

Wings.json is generated by the titlekey database and updated by the app automatically on startup, it's been this way almost since the beginning.

So I have a question on a possible homebrew. For the record, I'm willing to learn 3DS homebrew to develop it myself (though my skills are mostly in Java and web/MVC technologies), but I first want to know if it's possible:

I am thinking of an app to generate and run randomized Pokemon 3DS games.

Essentially, it would be a menu that detects CIA or Cartridge Pokemon games, and after a UI for options could randomize encounter slots/trainer Pokemon/etc and apply the changes as a patch saved on the SD card, with a separate option for running the detected game with any patches currently on the SD (similar to Hans). The patches would be saved under folders named after the TitleID for the game to separate them and to determine if a patch already exists.

The point of this is to manage a randomized and vanilla version of the same game. Obviously, it would not touch the save so you would need JKSM or something similar if you intend to keep the saves separate. The idea is an almost seamless transition, all on the 3DS, between vanilla and randomized versions of games.

Just throwing the idea out to see if it's wanted (besides me) and/or possible before I begin learning and coding.

I REALLY want an button rebinding homebrew, specially if it has profiles for different games, in reality i just want it to bind the face buttons to the cstick and the swap the face buttons and the dpad, that way i can have a dual stick setup without aiming out buttons, i would also bind L and R to ZL and ZR to make it more comfortable
