Tutorial How to make 3DS Games with Unity

[Davey159]

Okay, I downloaded Unity, but it does not offer an option to build for 3DS, Is it just me? Is there a way to fix this issue? And I tried to download an older version of Unity which supported the 3DS... But It is not downloadable anymore - from my knolwege. Can anybody drop a link to the old Unity version - one that supports 3DS? I would be very thankful

 

[User154]

Does anyone know how to get touch input on 3DS, I would usually use something like:

if (Input.touchCount > 0){
Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
}

but this does not work for 3DS

 

[AlphaXD]

you're a cop out for not putting the plugin files and literally tried googling but i found nothing

Danke dir!

U should keep an eye on "FLAX Engine and Godot", they make really progress. i dont like Unity at all. Feels to overloaded with half-baked features, UI is nothing if ur a artist (yeah i know, theres an asset store) not really thought to the end.

*edit* had a typo

Flex Engine

I don't think using an engine made by some guy that only had 11 releases since 2017 is better than using unity that has a giant community, an asset store full of whatever you could ever need, and an engine that might leave many things to be desired but it's getting constant updates and new versions... godot might be worth trying tho

now that looks better, still i haven't heard of this engine before, i'll check it out

 

[Sammyueru]

Ok. Nevermind, i managed to fix the problem by myself. If you did consider assisting me though, then thank you for your time.

Yes I would like to know how too
If anyone knows please help me on this!

Alright I got it to work but now I get this error (Any help?):

If i'm able to buy a 3DS, I will try this tutorial, I hope the tutorial still works!

[PixelBox]

I had these problems, I installed ARM CC 5.4
and this IL2CPP error was removed and I managed to export CIA
I hope it will help you...
LUCK!!

Ve a google el es tu mejor amigo

 

[quarter]

do you know where I can find UnityNew3DS_2_0_1

Thanks for helping me. I’ve been trying to find where that Unity documentation was for a long time. Now I’ve managed to get something running involving a full room, albeit at like 10 FPS. (The models are Switch-quality, which obviously causes that.) Still fun to mess around with.

Thank you again.

 

[grisu_YT]

HOW?!
i managed to fix it too by adding the environment variables manually, that seemed to fix it, until i got these errors:

It's to do with the IL2CPP or armcc, im not sure, i did install it and it should work properly, it's also got the same path, the files are there, they just don't work?!

has anyone managed to fix this

everything i try doesnt work

Just use the default banners for now and try to compile.
It took me a long time to get a banner working, and tbh i don't think it's worth the trouble, if i ever made a proper game i'd just ask some of the very talented people around here to make a banner for me and attach it to my .CIA and be done with it

please help i really want to get my 3ds game to work

please help i really want to get my 3ds game to work

I'm afraid you're on uncharted territory. My guess is that there's something wrong with your installation of the nintendo SDK for unity. But try anything you can think of, gradle to internal, changing package name. Any other setting you can think of mixing up a little. Perhaps open a fresh blank project and see if THAT compiles. Then at least you know the problem is in this project and not in your installation of the SDK. Trial and error, try to discard possible causes, and possible solutions

please help i really want to get my 3ds game to work

Did you manage to run one of the template projects?

I recommend doing this first and then just duplicating the template project and gradually porting your game to it.

Also, only use shaders present in the template project.
