[pwsincd]

LOL I was trying to find a better image. :/ Ironically the writing comes naturally, I hated finding the title images.

nice edit much better with a ?

Yeah, someone photoshopped it and PM'd me.

This is great for homebrew! The only downside is that this only meets 1/3 of the three things I want from homebrew, as I'm pretty sure the other two require Kernel level stuff to work right.

1) Region Free!

2) In-game high quality screenshots!

3) Playing non-avi videos, and playing videos for more than ten minutes!

Good, glad to see some hacking work done that doesn't need a Gateway

I hope someone can emulate
1) 3D Master System games
2) Virtual Boy games (which should play better when you don't need to wear a weird thing on your head)

W00t!
Now where is my 3DS, it's time to dust it off...

Vboy emu is definitely what I'd like to see...

Nice work man....hope to see more progress in the newt weeks !

 

[overdriver]

Homebrew is open source development which will/can increase sales. So Nintendo, just remain quiet so you can gain some money off of this.

nintendo doesn't really stand to gain any money from this. the exploit in question has been patched for over a year. this means any new systems can't use it, so it isn't going to push new systems into the hands of consumers. it will just give some current owners the opportunity to make a quick buck reselling their exploitable console.

I'm still surprised that the 3DS has had no virtual boy games on the VC. It's a perfect fit! Get it together ninty!

Aw, I guess no HBC for me in the near future, as my 3DS XL is on firmware version 5.1.0-11u. Perhaps there is still hopes yet for my normal sized 3DS as it is on firmware 2.2.0-4u.

Yeah you just need to update it to 4.x using a retail game with the 4.x update on it

It has been historically challenging to obtain console development tools. There is the approval process, then the high cost of development hardware and software. I read about one guy that locked himself in his room for an extended period trying to force Nintendo's hand to get a CTR dev kit, to no avail. There are not enough indie developers authoring for the 3DS, and so the experiences we share here may lead to future opportunities. An aspiring console game dev has to start somewhere, why not here on gbatemp.

Amazing.
I can hardly (but will have to) wait for more progress to be shown.
I'm super excited about where this will lead lol

technically no, cuz you need FW 4.x and they produce now 3ds's with FW 5.x or higher..

Wolf 3D in 3D for real, can I keep dreaming?

 

[XDel]

The day I see Odamex ported is the day I'm going to order me a card!

Glad to see progress is being made, this looks great!

 

[Heien]

Oh boy! A full speed gb/gbc/gba emulator would be super sweet!!

 

[josiascaignard]

I saw Pokemon Silver as a VC title there, Smea may have more surprises than we think... maybe.

 

[Xzi]

BUH-BYE Gateway! As some as some decent custom firmware comes out, we can put all these shady overpriced flashcarts and their bricking drama exactly where they belong... In the dustbin.

Talk about a dreamer. Unless you're personally close to releasing that "decent custom firmware," we're likely still years out.

I wonder if it is technically possible to port a SNES emulator now.

Still, a Homebrew channel would help to keep the homebrew development in order; having a bunch of launchers for every tool seems unproductive.
