Homebrew Python Tools for 3DS

[Kane49]

You can hard-code an array with a 8x8 font then code a function to draw it making use of the drawpixel (or whatever is called) function.

Tbh i only did that so i was able to "draw" inside the 0 and 1s, if you check the source file you can see the letters XD

Having fun:

This is like watching the birth of homebrew on the 3DS.

Makes me kinda wish I still had 4.5. Everybody can run code so easily now

I spent like 3 days wal-mart and pawn shop hopping until I got a blue 4.3.0 XL. This thread just fills me with so much hope.

Does anyone know what the address for the right framebuffer of the top lcd is?

0x20282159 minus 1 byte!

Now I'm coding my stereographic library to play with simple 3d effects. Hope to have some results for the week end.

Be sure to post them! This is all really awesome and gives some light after the whole GW brick thing. Checking out the source to the Mandlebrot generator right now.

yeah thank goodness for some nice positive stuff, its so cool seeing this progress so quickly, love the PoC work, but cant wait till there is something "playable"...i.e like a simple game (i hope that doesnt come across insulting, i know this is hard work and the stuff you guys have achieved already is very impressive)

I'd think Kane's work could be called playable, receives input, provides change on the screen, and generates enjoyment and happiness.

Somebody should create a Linux loader. That'd be a good start for homebrew.

.....i was actually tempted to try it....i seem to of misplaced my DS card though

Could you post the code for the button input?

 

[aliak11]

Here is my modified mandelbrot homebrew. I added bottom screen access, right framebuffer support, and fixed a bug where it would not use the pixel in the bottom left corner.

Nicely done aliak11. This is pretty sweet for one of the first public homebrew apps. It's open-source, and it creates mandelbrot sets. Hopefully this pushes the way towards true homebrew.

Question: How would one go about writing a bitmap to the screen?

 

[aliak11]

How would I find the address for something like the buttons, or sound control?

I was wondering about the sound too actually, making the settings music stop and playing back our own stuff. That plus figuring out how to write bitmaps to the screens.

 

[gamesquest1]

Maybe ask the devs who have decompiled the gateway launcher and have a look how they made their menu....would that help?

 

[windwakr]

Anyone else having issue with code like "w = (x & y) + z"? It generates some UXTB instruction after the AND, which seems to lock up the 3DS. I end up having to spread the code to multiple lines like "w = (x & y) \n w += z" to get it to work, or manually NOP out the UXTB.

I'm using Kane's build script:
https://github.com/insaneKane/3DS_Homebrew_Stuff2/blob/master/build.py

Are the GCC parameters wrong or something?

 

[Bond697]

the problem is that nobody really knows what they're doing. it's an armv5te arm946e-s, not an armv6 mpcore

 

[Huntereb]

Nice work guys! With enough work, this could turn into anything!

Well, this is all really early development stuff. We got all the "Hello world" stuff out, we have one homebrew application running (the mandelbrot set generator). Ideally I'd like to have something that can boot into EmuNAND with a patch to remove region locking without using any Gateway code, but with how early everything is still, doing something like that would be difficult.
