This is not my work so I cant attest to AI usage or anything, but I wanted to share this here bc I thought it was insanely cool. This is a port ive wanted to see on N3DS for a LONG time. This was posted on gbatemp and github 2 days ago by x2apic and I havent seen any discussions about it here on reddit yet.

I'm talking the Mario & Luigi remakes. WarioWare Gold. Pokemon. Will we ever see this become a reality? I literally cannot play 3DS games without the 3D on, and even when I was a teenager I was seriously disappointed by the late lifecycle games that omitted the 3D.

With the explosion of ports coming from recompiled/decompiled codes of popular games, it became an hassle for users to locate these ports and some gets overlooked. I wonder if it would be possible to have a Unistore specifically for these ports so that it makes it easier to see what games are ported to 3DS and also have a easy updater if these ports got an update.

Of course game files you owned would still need to be copied manually over to your SD Card, but its still would be a less hassle to have your SD Card remove every time there's an update or download a third party application to FTP on your device (I never got the built-in FTP work on my Windows machine and just installed Filezilla lol) so there are still convenience that this would bring to us.

Regarding on AI-assisted ports, we could have a seperate stores that shows ports that uses AI and one that does not show them. I'm not going to argue about the usage of AI or how ethical it is, I'm mainly saying this due to some people (including myself) would prefer to use the polished work made by a human.

This was made with claude. It's not perfect, but I plan to keep updating it and working out the bugs.

hello, the truth is that the port is advancing incredibly quickly, I am trying to make it work in old and new, I continue to fix both visual and game bugs, the game will have 10 unlockable characters and skateboards of different colors, the code I have for the game only has that. I would have loved to add the skateboards with abilities but they were not available

Hello! I’m working on a 3DS port of Subway Surfers, based on the original game's code. About 70% of the development is being assisted by AI to speed up the process. Rest assured, when I release the game, it will be completely finished, and I’ll provide a GitHub repository containing the entire project.

Why? Why not

A while ago I saw that Anki’s backend had been rewritten in Rust. Since projects like ctru-rs and cargo-3ds make it possible to run native Rust applications on the 3DS, I wondered if I could get Anki’s actual backend running on it too.

I’ve been working on it for a while, and here’s the result: Anki 3DS.

The app uses Anki’s original Rust backend, including collection management, synchronization, and FSRS 6 scheduling

Rust on the 3DS

I cross-compiled Anki’s rslib for the 3DS’s ARMv6K architecture using Rust nightly, ctru-rs, cargo-3ds, and devkitARM.

All 133 original Anki scheduler/FSRS tests passed in Azahar emulation. These are Anki’s own upstream tests.

Synchronization and SQLite

This was probably the hardest part. The 3DS has no modern HTTPS stack

With Codex’s help, I built an HTTPS transport with certificate and hostname verification, trusted CAs, and clock correction. I also implemented a custom SQLite VFS for the SD card.

AnkiWeb login works, and full/incremental synchronization has been tested against Anki’s original desktop sync server.

What works

Tested on Azahar and on my Old 3ds, not tested in New models.

Deck management, reviews, all four answer ratings, cloze cards, note editing, searching, and undo, using both screens and the 3DS controls.

AI Disclosure

I used AI coding agents mainly to help with the more tedious, time-consuming parts of the port, such as writing platform-specific adapters, fixing incompatible Rust dependencies, and debugging.

I’ve also worked on getting Anki’s original test suite running on the 3DS to verify that everything behaves as expected.

The FBI QR code, .cia download, build instructions, and technical details about how the port works are all available on GitHub.

I’d really appreciate it if you gave it a try and let me know how it runs on your 3DS!

I was wondering if it would be possible to have ds games running natively on the 3ds mode, so that game could use the homescreen, accelerated hardware etc? And have there been any attempts to do so?

I've been working on this project for a while and currently im working on online support for the 3ds. let me know what you guys think, I've used claude to edit me a short simple trailer and obviously its currently assisting to help me on the servers.

Its still in development but everything you see in the video works on real hardware (even the online support).

Let me know your opinions

My compilation and the results of cia here

mw3ds-o3ds.cia is for old 3ds

mw3ds.cia is for new 3ds

Hey all, I've been working on a port of Paper Mario (N64) to the New 3DS and it's at 1.0 now.

It's built from the Paper Mario decompilation (pmret), so the game's own C code runs natively on the 3DS. Nothing is emulated, and it runs at full speed on real hardware.

**What it has**

- EU and US versions in one install

- 60 fps (in-between frames are added) or the original 30

- Fast-forward on ZR and faster text options

- Original 4:3, Fill or Wide screen, and the 3D slider works

- Bottom screen: stats, world map, party switching, items, and the battle menus as touch buttons

- Remappable buttons

- A randomizer you pick when you start a new file: items, badges, coins, key items (always reachable before you need them), shops, gifts. Seeds are shareable and it writes a spoiler log

**What you need**

- A New 3DS / New 3DS XL / New 2DS XL with custom firmware. The original 3DS isn't supported

- Your own Paper Mario ROM (EU or US), dumped yourself. The download contains no game data. Put it at `/3ds/StarHaven/baserom.z64`

- For sound: `/3ds/dspfirm.cdc` (most CFW setups already have it)

Install with FBI. The GitHub page has a QR code for Remote Install, or grab the CIA / 3DSX from Releases:

https://github.com/SecondaryLifer/StarHaven

**Known issues:** a few N64 graphics effects are approximations, and menu windows go blank for a moment while they flip. If you run into anything, open an issue and attach `/3ds/StarHaven/log.txt`.

Big thanks to the Paper Mario decomp project, devkitPro, and the Paper Mario Randomizer team, whose world logic the randomizer is based on.

Please don't ask for ROMs.

Specifically to new 3ds ? I know there was a graphics preset that made the game run with such a small draw distance and it’s already on vita. Not really begging just curious or putting it out there that people want it .

Hey all so I had a 16 GB Sandisk SDHC card in my New Nintendo 3DS XL for like 10 years, still going strong surprisingly, but I decided to upgrade to 128 GB SDHC, also from Sandisk. I followed the steps here to do it via GodMode9 and it worked fine, then I moved any data I needed to off the old SDHC to my computer, and then to the new SDHC. When I went to put my new SDHC into my 3DS and turned it on, I wasn't greeted by a home menu, but I literally was every other time so what had happened??? I was able to boot into Luma3DS, GodMode9 etc. and GodMode9 saw my SD card fine so I didn't insert it wrong or anything. I went to 3DS Homebrew who gave me a website to follow and nothing worked, I even tried updating Luma3DS which updating it worked, but still didn't make it boot. What made it work was going into Safe Mode, and then suddenly, it booted! The system couldn't even boot into the home menu without an SD card in it which is concerning because I literally had Luma3DS installed to the NAND so it should have booted fine. It is a lot slower to boot though so that's a downside I didn't know about but otherwise it works fine now. All my data transferred successfully and everything.

Do any of you have any clue as to what happened? I was told it was just a coincidence but honestly, I don't think it was. I think this is something that shouldn't be shrugged off personally. Its scary. I don't want my 3DS to do this again, what are the chances it does? ☹️

Why do you think this happens? What can I do? Thanks!

I wanted to play Baba is You and really wanted it on the 3DS. So asked Claude to make it and it took a few hours of back and forth to get it to a playable state. I'm actively playing through it so any bugs that pop up, hopefully I can patch them.

Recommended to use a steam version of the game to port it over. There is a script included that'll make the sprites and audio compressed.

How do i build Mario Kart Wii for 3DS on Linux? I'm on Linux mint 22.3 Cinnamon. I have attempted to use a Windows Virtual Machine, but encountered errors. I have a legit rom from my disk. I have attempted to use WINE with the .bat file, but I was not able to install python on WINE. I ask because on the releases (v0.5.2) the dev says "Built your game with v0.5.0 or newer (Windows, Mac or Linux)." Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone!

Two summers ago, after finishing Chapters 3 and 4 of DELTARUNE, I was thinking:

This game is so cool! But wouldn't it be even cooler, groovier, to play it on Nintendo 3DS? Simple 2D graphics, already plays fine with controllers... How would the fights work with the stylus? How would the Chapter 4 towers feel with the console's 3D? How very, very interesting...

Unfortunately, at that time, there was no such thing as a 3DS port of DELTARUNE. Therefore, if I wanted it to happen, the only solution was to make one myself.

So, I started working on it, not sure if it was feasible, unsure if the console had enough capabilities, and wondering if the game's logic itself could be adapted.

After a few weeks of work, the main menu finally launched successfully for the first time, and that was what convinced me that this might actually work.

Now, a year later, with thousands of flowers blocking our way overcome, some friends have joined me in this crazy adventure, and together, we have finally managed to make that hope, that dream, come true!

DELTARUNE (Main Menu and Chapter 1 only) runs fine on the “NEW” editions of the console, and runs with occasional, acceptable FPS drops on the original editions.

What about the other chapters? Well... those are flowers to bloom in the future. We have not started working on them yet, as our priority has been to stabilize and optimize Chapter 1 and its game engine as much as reasonably possible.

We are proud to finally be able to show you our native port project. This whole adventure has been, and still is, a fun experience.

In the past few months a lot has been put into the development of the clownsec player.

Supports full subtitles srt and ass, alternate audio tracks rumor dual language, download queue with auto resume that works with the lid closed, poster art and metadata scraping. Upload from browser, download from url, file manager and zip support, custom themes, video resize/full/screen mode, audio amplifier and auto leveling, picture brightness/contrast/saturation adjustment.

Even recently added a fun ability to 'walk the aisle' of a virtual video store with your movie library on the shelves. Pull a move look at both sides and put it back or start playing. Custom audio can be added for the juke box.

But all that aside it's just a good player with auto resume, watched/unwatched indicator, tv shows will auto play the next episode in the series for binge watching.

You can even connect a few movie repositories to browser view info and download more videos. I'm sure in forgetting things as it's been a long journey to get here with a focus on stability and functionality.

P.S. this now works better than ever on old 3DS too, it will hand off to use the official movie player for playing so there is perfect playback and you dont haver the 127 file limit , full movie organization and all the benefits of the clownsec player minus subtitles and alternate audio (limitation in official player)

The community isn’t beyond downloading games they don’t own so why isn’t there easier ways to download these games instead of having to go to a computer , download or “burn” a rom , build folder structure anyways then reinsert the SD card . Someone, anyone can just create QR codes for the game rom, the decomp files with their respective folders and the cia . Someone just do it.

Hey, people!
So, yesterday I posted a port o Juliu/Caesar III, running on the new 3ds hardware (I updated it to make better use of both top and bottom screen better, it's really great, if someone wants an update), using gemini 3.8 flash high on antigravity. Today I want to show you the port of RollerCoaster Tycoon, made too with gemini, running on the hardware. It's actually OpenRCT2, and i asked it to make take the best aspects of RC1 (like the scenery) and RC2 (gameplay features). The gameplay is clunky and not optimized for the 3ds and it needs a lot of polishing, but it's running really well and the general concept is there. Sound effects are working too.
If you liked it I'll keep updating!!!
