Homebrew 3DShell - Multi-purpose File Manager for the 3DS

[AiP24]

There's really no point as userland support is dead for nearly everything. The 3DS scene is all CFW at this point.

True, True I guess, never mind me then...
but it will be a while before I cfw a 3ds, as I want to buy one to cfw.

there's currently no reason not to cfw your 3DS though so you should go ahead and reap the benefits ahah

Hi, so it looks like this will be perfect to turn my 3ds into an MP3 player when I'm not playing. Wondering if this has the capability to play video files (MP4?), or any plans to do that in the future?

Well, I have cfw now and its really nice!

As long as your Wi-Fi chip is not broken, missing, disconnected, etc. Why wouldn't it be?

3DShell v4.3.0 is now available!

This has become one of my most used 3DS programs. I've mostly used my consoles solely to play Pokemon ROMhacks, dumping the saves with GM9 or if using mGBA, the save is already created in the microSD. Then this program to move those files to the PC, and then back after whatever I do with them. Felt like sharing that, pleased that it's still being updated.

Thanks for that! Comments like these really help in motivating developers to keep supporting their projects.
Also, I need to get another minor release out as it was rather necessary since the CIA version would crash if you try to exit the application after playing any supported audio file. Anyways without further ado:

3DShell v4.3.1 is now available!

Change-log:

• Fix down-sampled MP3 files not being played properly, and providing inaccurate timings.
• Possible attempt at fixing scratchy audio with O3DS as reported by one user (needs more testing?)
• Fix crash with the CIA version (due to some resources not being freed properly) after you exit the app granted that you opened any of the supported audio files.
• Added support for extracting more archive formats such as 7z, ISO 9660, AR, XAR and other formats supported by libarchive.
• Next nightly/milestone releases will remove the .CIA file after updating from the .CIA version.

Oops typo. I meant to say if it was only available to N3DS as I only have the original 3ds

@Joel16 Thank you for such a terrific program. It's functions perfectly and looks great as well. I'm new to the CFW 3DS scene, but I can tell that I will be using this program on a daily basis.

Thanks for this amazing app, i've been using almost every day, i'll hope in futures updates some epub reader

Sorry to break your hopes but I'd suggest not to hope for that. As it's almost certain I won't be bringing such a feature to 3DShell.

Back after 2 years and this app is still going strong. Congrats Joel16. Thank you for such a good app.

Wow! Hoping there will be a video player built-in in a future update. This would finally feel like a successor to Moonshell2.

Unfortunately as of now there are no new features planned, at least not of that scope. At most I'm planning on maintaining this project (mostly cleaning up and optimization if necessary) and provided bug fixes.

I have a question, will there be any plans to include a fully functional BCSTM player in 3DShell?

Because the only app capable of playing BCSTM files is freeShop, and it would be really nice to include a BCSTM player function in there, with full looping support.

This code might actually help with implementing such feature: https://github.com/cheuble/BCSTM-Player

Thank you so much!

The thing about that code is that it doesn't work on some 3ds devices (I think o2ds and 3ds?)

It was planned but never implemented because of that reason.

Ohhhhh, I see, makes sense. Hopefully someday there might be a way to fix the code to make it work on devices that it normally wouldn't work for. Could it possibly be a RAM usage issue?
