Homebrew Portal 3DS Alpha demo

[SimisFul]

What format?

It created a bunch (95 in total) of files with the format .o .d and .h
There is also a portal3DS-master.map

I think something has gone wrong here. Or does this just not work on old3ds?

Not sure if it will work but here you go. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwO6_XlQ0A-DclN5enk1djRlZlE/view?usp=sharing
make sure the content folder is in the same folder on the sd.

Just tested it, I got the exact same result on a XL

This is a sad thread

ehem

Would you mind elaborating which exact commits of ctrulib and aemstro you used to compile and get it running on N3DS? I tried the latest commits of both (https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/commit/adcea034a5ee0f8e3d7e84a513723d9ec6606aa8 and https://github.com/smealum/aemstro/commit/51bfeef9e1a0149726dca43b50919bd45917015a), but like I said, they just give a black screen, even with the content folder.

If anyone gets this compiled and working it should be added to the OP. I would try to compile myself but my computer is in a bad way at the moment.

I have a feeling it's like Minecraft3D, where it only works on Ninjhax for some reason, even if it's compiled using very specific versions of libctru.

I suspect this has to do with svcCreateThread calls. Both portal3ds and 3dscraft set the processorid to 1. I believe this sets the new thread to use a processor different than the main thread. This only seems to work with ninjhax.

The difference though is that 3dscraft renders stuff, but is completely broken graphically (no ground, only shows a flickering sky). Portal just shows a black screen no matter what you do. I guess if I get bored enough I'll try to make Portal run on only one thread, regardless of any performance drops.

in 3dscraft the world is loaded in a thread - since the thread never starts the world remains empty. portal3ds run physics in a thread. the physics thread has a mutex. sending physics requests waits on that mutex - since the thread is not running it never gets released == portal3ds waits forever.

in physicsThread.c change

 Result val = svcCreateThread(&p->thread, physicsThreadMain, (u32)p, (u32*)&p->stack[PHYSICSTHREAD_STACKSIZE/8], 0x18, 1);

to

 Result val = svcCreateThread(&p->thread, physicsThreadMain, (u32)p, (u32*)&p->stack[PHYSICSTHREAD_STACKSIZE/8], 0x18, 0xfffffffe);

it may work...

Well, I got around to trying it, but it still causes a black screen on my N3DS. Thanks for trying to help out, though.

 

[SimisFul]

So, no one that ended up compiling it is willing to share it in the end?

 

[daxtsu]

There's no point if you're looking for a CIA or .3ds build, it just doesn't work. Or were you looking for a .3dsx file?

 

[Dax_Fame]

Wow! I can't believe all these amazing things coming out! what a DAY!

Oh, wait a moment ..... fuck... totally thought this was a joke

I just need a 3dsx file that works, I don't absolutely need a cia, as long as I can play it

 

[WeedZ]

I don't think anyone has got it working. Is it N3ds only?

I can confirm you it is not N3DS only, but only the C-Stick is supported for aiming for the moment.
