The shader appears to be wrong, and making real time lighting on the 3ds is expensive. You might want to go the pre baked light path.
In case, you can use mobile shaders to fix this but i am unsure if it supports real time lightning

shadows can't be casted on meshes with shaders that use some super simple mobile shaders. Let's say those are "unlit", although it's probably inacurate, but it's sorta like that. Try it yourself and see. You can always disable all shadows on the light source, too. This is why most retro 3D games use a circle billboard below the characters as shadows, because there are no real shadows on any of the meshes, probably no lightsources either, everything is just the diffuse, and perhaps some tint if it's nightime or sunset or whatever.
PROBLEM - Don't know where to obtain it. And before you say "the nintendo developer portal", I'm not 18 yet and I absolutely refuse to sign a permanent, legally binding NDA.
How did you get this working. currently im trying to make a menu and using the On Click () function

Same issue
ik this is old and all but I'm working on a stupid clicker game and the bottom screen isn't getting my input apparently, how did you fix it on your end?
Seeing as the last post was 6 days ago. I'm going to ask two questions.
1st : How can I make the canvas get input from the stylus or finger.
2nd : How can I make the banner be a 3D model and not a 2D PNG .
Thanks

hey, you should be able to implement touch-based ui the same way as on mobile, also you need to raycast the buttons i think, as for the 3d banner, there is a site on gbatemp where you can look into how its done: https://gbatemp.net/threads/creating-3d-banners-from-3d-models-for-cias.433783/
edit:
since i am already here, i may as well ask if any of you would know why i cannot get water shaders working with unity 3ds (i am using the unity 5, not the 2017 ver) and also my shadows don't work - i suppose it has to do something with graphical settings, because if i change the anti-aliasing for example, the build still doesn't have it. Thx in advance

If I'm not mistaken, the 3DS has some hardcoded shaders into its GPU and its all it can handle (unless you use some custom software renderer, but lets not go there).
So I advise you to use only the shaders that came with the 3DS Unity Templates.
(Sorry for the late response) So from my experience and understanding the unity engine cannot export the 3ds game with shadows, because it probably doesn't support it or it makes the 3ds overload with the sheer power of the game that they decided to not support shadows, and that's probably why the water shaders don't work (or any other shaders). But don't take my word for it, I may be in a huge misunderstanding, still when I tried a different shader that's not mobile bumped defuse on 3d models it displayed some different textures or just no textures. Also thanks for the info on how to get the buttons to work (will try it) and the 3d model for the game banner.

thx, that kinda sucks but oh well, i'll have to figure something out, good luck to you as well
Hello, make sure you are using the shaders from the list below. The N3DS and 3DS use a Pica200 GPU it is compatible with Open GL ES 1.1 with some very limited functionality for 2.0.thx, that kinda sucks but oh well, i'll have to figure something out, good luck to you as well
what does that mean?
You have to use shader that where made before the GL 2.0 model which excludes most fragment shaders. AkA most of Unity default shaders. Instead use...
- Mobile/Unlit (Supports Lightmap)
- Mobile/Particles/Additive
- Mobile/Particles/Alpha Blended
- Mobile/Particles/VertexLit Blended
- Mobile/Particles/Multiply
- Mobile/VertexLit
- Legacy Shaders/Transparent/VertexLit
- Legacy Shaders/Transparent/Cutout/VertexLit
- Legacy Shaders/Lightmapped/VertexLit
- Legacy Shaders/VertexLit
everything else you will have to do in the vertex section of the shader. Anything cool done in a node shader editor is out. ( I like to think of it as photoshop for shaders ) will not work with the 3DS. you got to think of the 3DS as a PS2.5 graphically.
The List above should be ok for Unity 5.6.5. Most simple projects..least to get your feet wet.
for Water look at the opengl water effect in Quake 1. It has transparency, uv scrolling and vertex animation via sin and cosin math functions. that is as good as its gonna get on the 3ds with unity.
100% you can get that water shader to work. You will have to do some digging but for sure it can be done with Unity on the 3DS.
hope it helps

texture combiner and very basic fragment shaders will work. think, multiply divide, add and subtract.
