Hello! I've recently been wanting to build unity games to handheld consoles. Currently the 3Ds is the only handheld I have, so I decided to make that my target. I signed up for NDID, only to find out that the unity package was no longer disrupted. So is there a way for me to build to the 3ds with unity, or is there another game engine or framework I could use? My only goal is to make games for myself that I can play on a handheld.

You could go to here:
the gbatemp website url + ger-deu-how-to-make-3ds-games-with-unity.441193

also you'll need these
Search on the internet archive: "Unity for 3 ds"
Go in the comments for the English translation to find the "Visual Studio Integration for CTR Platform Download"
Go in the comments for the English translation to find the "Nintendo Developer Interface Download"
Microsoft visual studio 2013
I would link these if I could

Also I couldn't find the CTR SDK so if you find that then that might fix my errors and what you would have for errors so I suggest looking for those
But you will need a Nintendo Developer Account to get some of those things.

The rest is linked within the tutorial or already within one of the other files

But I get these errors:
1.

But if you can figure this error out please help

I might have a fix but in my comment above but you would need to find the CTR SDK yourself because I've had just smidges of luck finding this. But if you do please tell!

Thank you. I'll take a look at those links.
I could be wrong, but I think the errors are from missing files in the 3DS playback engine files.

i think your problem is a badly installed nintendo unity SDK, and since they stopped distributing it, it's kinda hard to find a way to get ahold of one now... I suggest you find a new engine. Also, it's pretty hard to develop something on Unity for 3DS that doesn't run at 10fps. Unity is known for being a bit bloated, you'd have to be some coding and performance wizard

That's what I ways thinking. I've had issues with unity playback engines before, where it would delete files from the playback engine after opening Unity. One fix might be to copy and paste the playback engine after installing it before opening unity, and then check to see if any files are missing after opening unity by comparing the copy & pasted file with the one in the playback engine folder. I'm not sure if this will work in this instance though.

I know some tricks, but I'm not sure if they'd work unless I tried them out. Do you have any recommendations for alternant engines?

So I think I know how to get the CTRSDK and you do it by updating the Nintendo Developer Interface I forgot how I updated it but messing around with everything should help you out then you need to run the Setup-CTRSDK_ROOT file

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
