Homebrew 3DS Homebrew Tips and Tricks

[cebolleto]

Hello everyone

I have started a new series of posts on my personal blog talking about my experience developing for the 3DS using the ctrulib. After spending a few months doing some stuff now I'd like to share my experience with you

I'll be updating this post as I create new content.

3DS Homebrew Tips and Tricks (I)
- 3dsx, Cia and 3ds
- Setting up a good Developement environment

3DS Homebrew Tips and Tricks (II)
- Application Icon, banner and RSF
- Pica Texture Format
- Sideways framebuffer

3DS Homebrew Tips and Tricks (III)
- Adding sound permissions to 3ds files
- Avoid GPU_TRIANGLE_FAN
- Using RomFS
- Painting steps: clean, render, transfer and swap
- Improving the 3D stereoscopic effect


Any feedback is welcome

Have you tried citra yet? It's not totally accurate, but incredibly useful for minute changes.

I tried Citra. It doesn't run any of the things I have tried, not even the GPU sample

I always wanted to get rid of the devkitpro version of ctrulib. Your article finally made me do it...
but uninstalling devkitpro also uninstalled mingw and now i cant get make back, since sourceforge is having problems XD

Well this came in handy.
Was wondering how to setup VS for make and whatnot. Thanks for the tips 'n tricks.
I even managed to setup custom buttons on the toolbar for make and make clean.
