Homebrew Is 3DS homebrew dead?

[hpenney2]

I haven't really seen any new homebrew for the 3DS lately. Is it dead?

Also, sorry if this isn't the appropriate forum for this question.

The console itself is dead.

 

[Osakasan]

Is there much left to do with the console, actually?

We have alternative media players, emulators of all kind (PSX emulation now gaining traction) alternative launchers, home made menu themes and stickers, ports that go up to Quake 3... list is huge.

I think we can say the console had a good run, but it's time to give it a rest.

PS1 emulation just got a massive boost in speed

Plus there's the extremely active TWiLight Menu++, which is a multi-platform project.
Some homebrew is made here and there for the system. The 3DS is just not the main focus anymore and thus we aren't seeing projects as active as they were pre-switch hacking days.

Fair enough. Thank you for the replies.

Lot of projects need final touches. Like the doom port.
No time to give it a rest.
I.e. There is no project to make nds game work in 3d.
Still not a virtual boy emulator.

Yeah, missed opportunity not having a fullspeed virtual boy emulator.

r3d dragon exists and that's a vb emulator.

I'm new to this system really but it doesn't seem dead to me.. Half Life Quake... Ps1.. And Im really enjoying 3D movies...

Some way to play 3d movies with subtitles?

 

[zoogie]

Our webstats for bruteforcemovable.com show that about 1000/day are still hacking their 3ds, and about 400,000 *total in the last year alone.
They usually go to Discord servers for help instead of here, so that's why you guys aren't seeing much activity here.

The 3ds is still being sold and a good portion of them want to hack their system (typical of EOL timeframes).

* this stat doesn't include ntrboot and safehax, so the real total is probably significantly larger

im not sure ive not needed them .. yet & i have over 150 gigs of Moflex films .... but i must say watching the StarWars Films was really kool ... & Mad Max Fury Road & Ready Player One ... just seemed so much better in 3D !

Looks like that emulator has not been worked on in 3 years so it still has issues. Thanks for the heads up about it though.

There is another Virtual Boy Emulator for the 3DS in development.

How do I load this up in my 3DS?

You don't, just yet. The most recent development finished up the hardware functions in a Java implementation, which is designed to run on a workstation. The next phase (after filling out those greyed-out menus) is to port the implementation to C so it can be built as a native library, then use that on 3DS.

What's the best option for emulating Virtual Boy on the 3DS currently? Never occurred to me that the 3DS would actually be able to do the 3D effect as well.
