@Damantio It's easier to use the included msys2 shell so you don't have to set up the system environment variables that may also clash with other paths you added to windows, especially make.

@Maxypun If you installed devkitpro via the installer, it is at C:\devkitPro\msys2
You can launch the msys2_shell.bat or msys2_shell.cmd both worked fine for me.

@Maxypun To change paths you use "cd".
If the code is stored in your downloads directory you can change the directory with "cd /c/Users/yournamehere/Downloads/homebrewcode"
If that path has a Makefile file you can build it using "make" from that directory.
Then a .3dsx file should be in there if there were no errors displayed in your shell.

It could be that you lack the 3ds sdk stuff at first, so if things may fail, you need to run "pacman -Sy" and then "pacman -Syu 3ds-dev" and press enter and y when asked for you action first.
3DSCraft and maybe other homebrew you want to compile may not t work with the current compiler anymore and as the maintainer of the devkitpro site has deleted all older version from his site, you would need to piece the missing parts together from https://wii.leseratte10.de/devkitPro/ .
And as the structure of the sdk differed then iirc, it is really cumbersome.

@Vague Rant i am such a retard lol! ya know where to find 3dscraft or ctrwolfen? if not i mgiht stream wolfenstein 3d from my pc
Rinnegatamante, who developed ctrWolfen, quit the 3DS scene a while ago and I think took their ball with them, so the official releases don't seem to be available any more. I've attached the last public release, v0.8, of ctrWolfen to this post for you.

And it looks like 3DScraft is still available over on smealum's web site. :)

Is there any way to do this on Chrome OS, or online without dev mode?

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
