Homebrew How to compile code in to .3dsx format

[Maxypun]

sorry about the stupid question but I'm a noob and I want to play homebrew apps I've downloaded that are not compiled

 

[BaamAlex]

Which apps are that?

use devkitpro

download it for 3ds

if ur on ubuntu press ctrl + alt + t and navigate/open terminal in the folder where the source is and type make then enter

if you are on windows open thecommand prompt and write:
cd [folder path, like C:/newfolder/test]
make

@Damantio It's easier to use the included msys2 shell so you don't have to set up the system environment variables that may also clash with other paths you added to windows, especially make.

where can I find the shell?

@Maxypun If you installed devkitpro via the installer, it is at C:\devkitPro\msys2
You can launch the msys2_shell.bat or msys2_shell.cmd both worked fine for me.

@Wuigi i have no idea how to use this program ive never taken any programming classes in my life

@Maxypun To change paths you use "cd".
If the code is stored in your downloads directory you can change the directory with "cd /c/Users/yournamehere/Downloads/homebrewcode"
If that path has a Makefile file you can build it using "make" from that directory.
Then a .3dsx file should be in there if there were no errors displayed in your shell.

It could be that you lack the 3ds sdk stuff at first, so if things may fail, you need to run "pacman -Sy" and then "pacman -Syu 3ds-dev" and press enter and y when asked for you action first.
3DSCraft and maybe other homebrew you want to compile may not t work with the current compiler anymore and as the maintainer of the devkitpro site has deleted all older version from his site, you would need to piece the missing parts together from https://wii.leseratte10.de/devkitPro/ .
And as the structure of the sdk differed then iirc, it is really cumbersome.

Are you sure you're not just missing where the builds are? If you're finding them on GitHub, you can click on the Releases tab which takes you to compiled ... releases. e.g. Here is the link for ctrQuake releases.

Rinnegatamante, who developed ctrWolfen, quit the 3DS scene a while ago and I think took their ball with them, so the official releases don't seem to be available any more. I've attached the last public release, v0.8, of ctrWolfen to this post for you.

And it looks like 3DScraft is still available over on smealum's web site.

Is there any way to do this online?

Is there any way to do this on Chrome OS, or online without dev mode?
