Homebrew Is there a DS "Emulator" compatible with 3DS? (Homebrew Launcher)

[survive9]

So...
What about now since we have a9lh and the hacking shitstorm that blew up within the last 3 months

At this point, on a 9.2 3ds we can do pretty much whatever the hell we want with it, so what about this? Still a dead idea, or not so much anymore?

Still no, cause TWL_FIRM looks for a cart in Slot 1 (3ds/ds cart slot). I believe that i heard that if we were to reprogram the TWL_FIRM to look in sd card it may be possible but we don't have the knowledge to do it currently. Also, please don't revive dead threads as far as I know that's a big no-no in every forum I've seen

So lemme get this straight... TC wants some type of homebrew program that basically functions as the flashcarts but built-in to the 3DS console? That does sound quite convenient. Since I don't imagine there is much interest to do such a thing for 3DS, wouldn't it be reasonable to see that for Wii U?

There's already DS virtual injection for WiiU
Because Nintendo made an emulator for it

We've reprogrammed home menu to allow region free

we've reprogrammed the arm9 process to look into the SD and boot stuff there

Not if you root android then you can use a ps3 or Wiimote with classic controller

Is there anyone to use wiimote with anything higher than android 4.1? I was fairly certain google borked the Bluetooth library and no one has published a fix other than an OTG Bluetooth adapter.

Random thought, but how about a homebrew app that boots into dsmode, then loads something from there? Not necessarily a game, but something nds homebrew related.

oh.
um, when I looked this up, this was one of the first ones I saw...
Sorry.

(it probably doesn't help that I was looking this up late at night)

Like the DS homebrew CIA we have now and then you can have the ability to boot a game? With homebrew though, I'm not sure that's possible since it is only user land (well... I guess it does have kernel exploits )

C'mon man, that's no reason for having bad english. I'm spanish myslef.

You need to work on your English yourself.

Why don't we let the 3dsx homebrew slowly die out, or atleast don't let it limit us? Every thread about this has "HOMEBREW HAS NO SYSTEM ACCESS SO NO DS GAMES 4 U" but we already have A9LH and cia's on CFW and all that crap which basically have full access.

And yeah, flashcards are a thing. I hate those though. I'm yet to find an onlineshop who sells them for cheap to germany and has the ability to pay the courier instead with creditcard.
A software solution would be much better.

And on iOS, the website iEmulators has a signed (not taken down by Apple) download for NDS4iOS. It's a good emulator as long as you have a device that was made in the past 3-4 years.

Actually, if you have a iOS device you are better off using iNDS. It's sort of the successor to NDS4iOS and Nitrogen and it runs better.

When I made that post, iNDS was either jailbreak-exclusive or didn't exist.

Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't look at the date on the post!

Maybe someone could compile the retroarch core of NDS for the 3DS to try it out! I've heard it's really easy to compile RetroArch CIA's

You mean Desmume? That requires a library that isn't supported on the 3DS; someone (I can't remember who, sorry) made a post on here like half a year ago saying they would try to make a workaround, but I don't think they ever had success.

How about the newest core?

What core are you referring to? RetroArch (more specifically, libretro) only has Desmume for DS emulation.

We could compile it as a CIA to utilize the full systems capabilities

That still wouldn't change the fact that Desmume requires a library that the 3DS doesn't have (but it could be implemented, or at least simulated, given enough time and effort). Emulating a DS on the 3DS would be incredibly sluggish though. It'd be more ideal to come up with a Devolution or Nintendont type solution. Bring up the ARM9 and ARM7 in DS mode, run game off SD card. It'd be neat to see an open-source implementation of TWL_FIRM that tries to do this, if it's possible (and if it is, it's certainly not easy, or we'd probably have seen details on it by now).
