Hacking Misc Homebrew app 3DS Music Player Besides Ctrmus?

[Awesomesauce3ds]

I really want to be able to listen to music on my 3ds, but I don't really like the way that Ctrmus looks, there's no colors. Its just black and white. It gives me a "oops, I just bricked my N3DSXL that cost me $270 and 2 hours to mod (Was scared of accidentally bricking it in the process). Oh no," Kinda feel. Limeplayer3ds looks perfect, but theres no CIA QR CODE for it, is there anywhere? Any suggestions of an open-source, friendly interface, nice looking, CIA QR CODE downloadable, Music player for N3DSXL? or must I have to get Ctrmus??

Your options are:

• ctrmus, which you already don't like
• LimePlayer3DS, which has a GUI but no CIA version (3dsx only)
• Nintendo 3DS Sound, built-in but only supports mp3, m4a, mp4, and 3gp

You won't find anything that looks nice for this sadly.

There's Video Player 3DS - despite its name, it can play music files, but the interface is eh. https://github.com/Core-2-Extreme/Video_player_for_3DS

You can also try apps made for Nintendo DS instead - they look generally nicer. You might have luck with lmp-ng, for example, and be able to setup a forwarder for it? (I would suggest Moonshell but it doesn't work well outside of a DS flashcart)

When you mod a 3ds, doesn't it dump the sound firmware? Like the Nintendo 3ds built in sound?

Not automatically. Use "Dump DSP Firmware" in Luma3DS menu under "Miscellaneous options..."

I followed 3ds.hacks.guide to mod my 3ds, and I think that it made me do that. So the firmware wouldn't work?

Firmware is only dumped so that all homebrew apps are able to use sound. It doesn't do anything on its own.

So Nintendo 3ds Sound app wouldnt work?

That's built into your 3DS, it will work regardless of homebrew.

Ok, but how would I add music to that? Would I create a folder called "music"? Or would that mess up firmware or the SD card?

The app searches your SD card so anywhere is fine.

Oh, ok. Thanks!

Nintendo 3DS Sound will show up to 100 songs per folder, but you can structure your music folders however you want.

From https://en-americas-support.nintend...sten-to-music-from-an-sd-card-or-microsd-card:

Note​

The following music formats can be played:

• AAC files with .m4a, .mp4, and .3gp extensions
• MP3 files with .mp3 extensions, bit rates of 16kbps - 320kbps, and sampling frequencies of 32kHz - 48kHz
