Anyone who's used CSND before: what's the best way to go about taking buffers of sound samples and feeding them to it? Just doing CSND_playsound with the buffer doesn't seem to work, unless I'm doing it wrong.

Tbh, I'm down with anything as long as it is mostly consistent between apps, and wont be confused with something else later down the line. I haven't started creating yet. I expect to start working on learning the basics of creating things in a couple weeks, after exams are done.

On that note, if anyone is willing to point me in the direction of where to start (like the very beginning lol. I have a weak understanding, other than a bit of CSS, right now), I'd be eternally grateful.

3DBrew has a lot of documentation that CTRulib was built around. Aside from that some basic C which is becoming more documented every day. Or maybe even Lua. Someone is working on an lua interpreter, still very early stages though.

Thanks mate! I'll check out 3Dbrew's info on CTRulib.

Also, I hate spoon feeding as much as the next guy, but would you happen to point me on where a good spot to learn C (also as embarrassing as it is, I can't seem to figure out the answer, but where do I find the program for C?) So far I've DL'd Devkitpro and Visual Studio's 2013, but haven't really dug in. Devkitpro just gave me all these files . I haven't touched them yet though, will experiment later)

Thanks again

All those file in DevKitARM are basically your toolchain. If it installed correctly, you should be able to use the program "make" in the command line (I believe) and actually compile makefiles (Makefile is the usual filename). It also has arm-none-eabi-gcc and arm-none-eabi-g++ which are your compilers

Ohh, ok, so I need DevkitARM not not just devkitpro. I was confused when it dumped all those files at install. So this is what I get when I extract it via 7zip

do you mean there is another program, or one that is in the set of files from DevKitPro? Or something I'm completely missing?

I think that the 3ds homebrew community here on gbatemp should set a standard that a certain keypress would be used to exit homebrew. Personally, I would use L+R+START+SELECT.

like the idea, but my R button is broken (like everything else in my 3DS) so that kind off leaves me hanging XD
(Anyhow, I will add that keycombo to DownloadMii )

 

[pikatsu]

I know that is irrelevant to the subject but i would appreciate if anyone could compile this tool because i am trying about two months and i didnt manage anything. Thanks

Make is part of Visual Studio.

Well, It doesn't have to be L+R+START+SELECT, we could just use START+SELECT(that may actually be better since some people do have shoulder button problems.)

I just checked it out, and no wonder you've been failing at getting it to compile because there's a file missing in the source for some reason so i guess you're out of luck. And of course because of that missing file it wouldn't compile for me either.

How do we use the touch screen?

 

[YoshiInAVoid]

How well can we use the GPU? Is lighting, supported, etc.

In particular, I want to port this DS demo I made to 3DS.

 

[2Hack]

Make is part of Visual Studio.

Ah, ok. I just finished installing visual studios lat night, that was silly of me to overlook . Exam tomorrow, so everything is on hold till then.

AlbertoSONIC's 3DS Paint does a great job at using the touchscreen. You should take a look there. It's where I was able to setup what I wanted to do with it.

I think that the 3ds homebrew community here on gbatemp should set a standard that a certain keypress would be used to exit homebrew. Personally, I would use L+R+START+SELECT.

I believe this button combination is used in some SNES and GBA games to reset the game. I'd much rather have a touchscreen upper-right red cross such as in blargSnes. This would avoid any future conflict of the sort (until someone finds a way to register the Home button).

or a standard screen or prompt with a message "do you want to exit? yes / no" everyone could use, instead of exiting without notice.
devs could use their own combo based on the homebrew buttons requirement to display the exit prompt when requested.

I want to share a preview of my homebrew project for a 3DS File Manager: 3DS SDiSS (3DS Secure Digital Slot Saver).

At the moment it's only a POC and it can only show files on SD, but Copy/Move/Del commands need only a little bit more of coding.

Managing sav files for emulators is also planned.

The first alpha release will be when the program can at least rename files and folders, and for this I need a little help.

Does anybody know how to activate the Software Keyboard (swkbd) plugin and use it's shared memory to exchange data? Informations on 3DBrew are minimal, I know the sys call and the plugin ID but everything else is to be guessed.

If I don't screw this up, I'll need to code my swkbd.

Waiting for the beta release (with source code) please try this POC and give me your suggestion.

In the zip you can find:

• cia (tested on CFW)
• Homebrew dir, to be placed with its content in the root of the 3DS SD
• elf file and other resources (icon, banner, rsf) if someone want to try to convert the program in another format

User commands:

• Left - Right, toggle 1st and 2nd panel (active panel will be the source and inactive panel the destination for file copy/move)
• L - R, toggle single - double panel view
• Up - Down, change selected file/dir
• A, open dir
• Touch ... at the moment only makes labels flashing!

Backgrounds and Icons are 24b Bitmaps, they are nothing special and doesn't have trasparencies yet.

Maybe I'll make better graphics before releasing a new version.

We can't test, no .3dsx inside archive... !

So I am quite confused. I'm trying to show text when I touch a certain area of the touch screen. Well, two problems:
1. The text is already showing when I start the program
2. When I touch the area I have specified, it doesn't do anything (Probably because the text is already showing) and when I touch the area that shouldn't display the text, it removes the text.

So really, now thinking about it, I just need to find a way to not show the text when the program loads?

Here's the code (the part you need at least):

void BottomScreen(){
    screenBottom = gfxGetFramebuffer(GFX_BOTTOM, GFX_BOTTOM, NULL, NULL);
    clearScreen(screenBottom, GFX_BOTTOM);
    
    drawFillRect(0, 0, 30, 240, 255, 255, 255, screenBottom);
    
    BottomText("Love me?  I do.", 120, 100, 0, 0, 255);
    BottomText("Woosh!", 20, 10, 255, 255, 255);
    Notes();
};

void Notes(){
    touchPosition myTouchPosition;
    hidTouchRead(&myTouchPosition);
    u16 posX = myTouchPosition.px;
    u16 posY = myTouchPosition.py;
    if((posX >= 0 && posX <= 30) && (posY >= 0 && posY <= 240)){
        BottomText("Hehe, that tickles!", 100, 100, 255, 255, 255);
    };
};
