hello everyone

i had recently had a brainstorm happen and wondered if its possible
there is this operating system (16MB in size) that, looking at the specs, it would be possible to use it as a second bootable os (like 3dslinux :D )
as i do not know if this would be possible, i would like to know why as it would help me understand :)

thank you

EDIT : forgot the wikipedia link and the 3ds specs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Core_Linux
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_3DS

wow this is a sad community

no
i think its just known that you cant emulate an operating system on old 3ds to to hardware limitations.
and you cant boot an operating system.

the n3ds not only has a faster processor, but has new hardware as well,
that allows for emulating OS like mac or windows. mac runs great by the way.

Maybe a severly stripped "version"
can be made, like a game of sorts.
idk,
mac images are only 18mb or so, but it will still only run on new 3ds hardware

alright, but i'm talking running (how would you say it... flash? ram? as native hardware? idk) but the test i was trying to do was to see was giving bricked systems, and actual os to run (probably as a, idk, like the wii linux thing. that was what i was trying to see)
but anyway, i dont know what to do now
EDIT : didnt see your edit, sorry

be persistant.
maybe something can be done, but it seems me and you both are late to the 3ds hack scene.
anything nowadays would be a labor of love.

i had another account, but i got locked out of it and such. i have been aware of this scene since (idk sometime after ninjhax? idk...) but i could try, it may or may not work, but the effort is in trying

ill do that
ediT :what repositories?

github.
as in github.com

i.e.

https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases

basically where everything dev related is kept at.

lets say i have FBI installed, but theres a newer version, i would search github fbi in google and i would go to that github release page.
theres also apps for the 3ds that arent in cia or any usable format, just a bunch of files and folders that need to be compiled into a working cia or 3dsx or what-have-ya.

so maybe something is there, somewhere. ill help you search and see what i come up with.

oh, wow! i completely forgot that existed... i think the best option would be to add a gui

i guess it wasnt source code.

here is the link for the linux firm loader

https://1fichier.com/?2q01j867vbvgf48tone2

How to run this
You need the Linux image in order to make use of this.

More info at: GBAtemp: [Release] Linux for the 3DS

Working folders
This Linux loader will first try to load the necessary Linux files from the root of the SD card, if it can't find them there, it will try to load them from inside a /linux folder placed at the root of the SD.

License
You may use this under the terms of the GNU General Public License GPL v2 or under the terms of any later revisions of the GPL. Refer to the provided LICENSE.txt file for further information.

i think this thread would be better off closed to not give anyone else warnings

well the only way to do that is to report your first post and ask for it to be deleted, but in doing that, you get a strike on ur profile.
for a bunch of devs and coders, i dont see why deserved moderation, and requests to delete our own threads (in the gbatemp staff area, it says to delete posts u made, use report button)
are in the same category and can cause repercussions eventually.
ill probably get reported for this post as well.
