Hacking [PPOTW #36] Are you interested in running homebrew on your 3DS?

[Arique]

Eh, I guess. If it can survive Nintendo's next firmware update without getting removed or bricking the system, then I'll pull the trigger and get homebrew going on my 3DS.

Nope, a puny 10 year old arm SoC is of absolutely no interest to me in this day and age. The cheapest chinese arm7 devices with NEON are several times faster and much cheaper than a 3DS.

Would I rather play a SNES emulator on a Nintendo handheld with Nintendo-quality physical controls, than on a touchscreen phone? Yes, yes I would.

so much pessimism.....we all know the 3ds is so powerful it could emulate the xbox one in 4k resolution....duh

but in all seriousness, the ds was a pretty weak machine but all things considering there was some pretty cool homebrew put out for it, do i think the 3ds will be like a homebrew pinnacle, hell no but with homebrew scenes dying off over the past few generations lets just pay homage to potentially one of the last homebrew scenes, i hope we go out with a bang rather than a whimper

Homebrew has been the goal since the first console was ripped open, and documented. First hardware, then software, memory, and SDK. It was all for the homebrew aspect. The cards like GW came from the development and reverse engineering for homebrew. Lets just hope the homebrew software developers can step up to the plate, and make all the hard work done so far entertaining.

So what I've seen so far is that the demand for SSSpwn is largely due to people asking for rom loader and the remainder being emulators. Ironic much>

I've pretty well had my fill of SNES games at this point, to be frank. I don't need yet another platform on which to play Super Metroid for the 651324583rd time.

It'll be interesting to see what people can come up with to utilize the 3D effect, I suppose.

I just want to play super metroid without having to buy another flashcart.
