Homebrew Could a CIA Homebrew theoretically be 1GB or above?

[YugamiSekai]

If someone were to theoretically create a CIA homebrew that ends up being 1GB or above, would it be possible to install and use?

Yes. Idk who would make it and why.

 

[CeeDee]

Uh... yeah? Why wouldn't it?

games can be up to around 4gb (4,294,967,296 bytes). nothing stops homebrew from being the same.

 

[YugamiSekai]

Yes. Idk who would make it and why.

It could be a 3D game.

It could be a 3D game.

Maybe. Would be a cool think to see.

Yep, it can. And if you don't want to program a 4GB homebrew, just fill the romfs with shit and it will work even if it weights a lot

Of course it's possible, the only reason it hasn't happened yet is because no one has made one.

1 more question, could homebrew CIA's be as good a regular 3DS games? Like if someone has a source to a 3DS game, could it be recreated into a CIA?

I'm not sure I got what you mean

The only thing really limiting homebrew devs is resource, man power, and money.
But of course a homebrew could be as good as any other game if someone wanted to invest the time into it.

I've seen people make homebrew video channels that exceed 1GB because the embedded video file is so large. Granted, it's not a game but still counts as a large-sized homebrew file.

Yeah it's possible. The only difference between homebrew and official games is licensing(I know that's not the only difference, but in this context it works).
