Homebrew Homebrew Development

[st4rk]

I took a break when classes started and then went back gba devvin.
But I'm back and waiting for smea

Very nice, let's go write new things

 

[smealum]

Use the Snailface template

Here:

think you could update that to refactor branch ?

Yeah, tomorrow i can do it when i back of university.

 

[PieFace]

yes, top left/right is for 3d and the 0/1 is for double buffering.
In the 3DSTemplate there's a swapBuffer function which gets and sets the register for the index of the currently drawn framebuffer. (0x400478 for top left/right, 0x400578 for bottom screen)

Thanks for clarifying. I don't have a gateway though, so I can't run arm11 homebrew.
I did however manage to draw a 3d rectangle!

 

[CalebW]

Would be great if an arm11 exploit would be released that could be used without GW...

 

[Vappy]

ssspwn should be released in the coming weeks. Unless there's another case of unfortunate timing with Nintendo announcements, like the New 3DS shipping worldwide very early next year.

 

[CalebW]

ssspwn should be released in the coming weeks.

I hadn't heard about that, thanks!

 

[scholan]

so because of one user you won't release?

no i didnt think so
at this moment i was totally pissed off.

i'm just working for launching .nds games with this exploit. (i can run animal crossing wild world and pokemon diamond, i dont try it with 3ds games but i will do it soon)
and i think smealum just finished his project before i release it. and i just waiting for smealum too.

(sry for my english, come from germany )

So, you mean you are able to run nds games without a flashcart?

jep.
i just wait on smealums ssspwn exploit, its easier to create homebrew applications. (i hope).

 

[st4rk]

jep.

are you using an user-land exploit or kexploit ?

 

[Huntereb]

i just wait on smealums ssspwn exploit, its easier to create homebrew applications. (i hope).

If you're able to actually get it to launch a game in DS-mode, I doubt it'll work on SSSpwn. That just screams kernel-required.

 

[CalebW]

Homebrew creation in arm11 is already possible, so why not just go ahead and release it? We have no definite idea when SSpwn will be released.

Hello everyone, here a little tutorial to whom wanna begin with homebrew on 3DS

Before anything you will need these files:
DevKitARM : devkitpro.org
DevKitARM Add-on 3ds: http://mtheall.com/~fincs/3dsdkA/
3DSTemplate(with new ctrulib): http://filetrip.net/dl?rqkeqrIIns

After download all files:
1 - open the "dkA-3dsx-patch-12092014.zip" and copy the DevKitARM folder to DevKitPro/DevKitARM folder on your PC.
2 - extract 3dstemplate where you wanna, open the 3dstemplate folder and copy the "libctru" on C:/ or D:/ or where you wanna on your disk.
3 - Go to environment variables and at system variables, create a new with name: CTRULIB , value: D:\libctru (change to your libctru directory !).
4 - on 3dstemplate folder open the build.bat, if you did everything correct, it will generate three new files, ".elf", ".3dsx" and ".3ds", the .3ds is to Gateway users, .elf to alternative homebrew loaders and .3dsx to future Smea Homebrew Loader.

If you wanna edit the code, just go to source and edit the main.c, there is a little example on code, have fun

 

[CalebW]

it will generate three new files, ".elf", ".3dsx" and ".3ds", the .3ds is to Gateway users, .elf to alternative homebrew loaders and .3dsx to future Smea Homebrew Loader.

What are the differences between the files?

 

[st4rk]

What are the differences between the files?

.3ds - work on gateway
.elf - You can compile an .cia and .3ds with it
.3dsx - It probably will be used on Homebrew Loader(Smealum).

 

[CalebW]

.3ds - work on gateway
.elf - You can compile an .cia and .3ds with it
.3dsx - It probably will be used on Homebrew Loader(Smealum).

Thanks, but I already knew that. What is the difference in the formats?

 

[st4rk]

Thanks, but I already knew that. What is the difference in the formats?

wat ? well .3ds we will have a complete homebrew, this include banner, icon, rsf[...], with .3dsx i don't have ideas about it, i think just the binary to work on homebrew loader

Hello everyone, here a little tutorial to whom wanna begin with homebrew on 3DS

Thanks for the tutorial, now if only I had a gateway to run my code on -.-

 

[AlbertoSONIC]

Thank you very much, st4rk! A little question: is there any way to try my homebrew before putting it into my 3DS?
