it's too much a bummerThere is at least one DS game, which includes Bluetooth, so in theory, if we communicate with it, it could be possible, but I think we would need to patch at least the ARM11 kernel or even the ARM9 and ARM11 kernel, to make this possible.
Yeah, Pokémon Typing Adventure is the only current "BlueTooth dongle" that exists for 3DS and it probably wasn't popular enough to warrant looking into, since so few people are primed to actually take advantage of it if anybody made BT homebrew using it. It's not clear yet how those Pokémon Z-Ring things are going to work as yet (those light-up/rumbling bracelets that interact with the upcoming games). Depending on how those connect, some homebrew wireless support might be possible, but if it's just Wi-Fi or something then that doesn't get the homebrew community anywhere.
The Switch doesn't do Bluetooth with the Wi-Fi chip. It has a Broadcom BCM4356XKUBG wireless chip which offers both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The 3DS either uses an Atheros AR6014 or an Atheros AR6014G-AL1C depending on the model, both of which only do Wi-Fi.Theoretically, would it be possible using the wifi chip like the switch does?
Damn I didn't even notice, or I would have not responded myself. Sorry Mods!Also, nice necrobump.
