I know that homebrew can be made in C++, which is a language I know a bit of since I'm studying it in programming class. Is there a way to port a C# program so that it would work on the O3DS? I like C# a lot more. (It's prettier

I'm pretty sure there's no way to compile stuff programmed in C# for the 3DS, so you'd have to re-write it in C++ or another language that can be used on the 3DS.

No actual way to compile C# code to a 3ds executable. Your only option is to port your C# code to C++

Unity for 3DS uses C#, as well as Java. But you have to be an official registered dev to be able to use it anyway...
Well, ok. Guess I'll have to deal with ugly ol' C++ Thanks for your input! (Mods can lock this thing now)

Programming for the 3DS is a bit more low-level than for the PC. With limited RAM (64 or 128 MB I think), C/C++ is the language of choice, since it doesn't have a lot of overhead, and gives you fine control over memory usage. C# runs on top of a framework that would have to be designed for the 3DS, and would take up precious resources. For homebrew, I think doing that would be impractical. If Unity really does use C#, I wouldn't think the potential for its games would be as high as with just C++.
Just be thankful you don't have to use assembly. *shudders*

I think Unity is better than homebrew by far.
For many reasons!
1) It's the real deal! No homebrew involved whatsoever!
2) If you know your way around Unity, it will be even easier to create 3DS applications!
3) Not overly text-based like the main 3DS homebrew sources you see today.
Just take a look at this video! I think it will show you the full potential of what you can do with Unity! (For New3DS at least.

By potential, I meant the maximum of what could be done. I'm sure it's easier with Unity, but it probably won't be like what could be accomplished with C++ (which is harder).

Too bad it's not really common to find a build of unity for 3ds, it's even worse for wiiu builds(I don't think there even are any leaks atm?).
So I think you were lucky enough to get into Nintendos Dev Program?

How did you get the 3DS unity license? Did you register with Nintendo or are there "other ways". What kind of file does it export to?

I already have Unity for Wii U. I am itching to leak it, but I should really not do that. I have my morals™ with me.
I joined this guy's "company" recently. We've not been officially approved just yet, so I don't exactly have Unity for 3DS with me at the moment. Maybe in a month or so.

AFAIK, they export CCI and CIA files. You should rely on CCI builds more if you are planning to build for a retail 3DS. CIAs are for Dev units only at the moment.
Unity for 3DS/Wii U would be really cool. Although, I think Unreal has better graphics, but it has less platform support and can't be used on Nintendo systems.
1. C# isnt compiled to machine code, its compiled to byte code (MSIL specifically) and has to run on MS's CLR environment.
2. Unity is apparently a thing for n3ds, but I personally wouldnt touch it with a 10ft poll. Theres a reason its n3ds only, because the extreme code overhead that would cause o3ds to lag.

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@

and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
