Apologies for the necro-bump, but I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for this project.
I'm amazed that Stealth went on to create a faithful game engine capable of reproducing Sonic the Hedgehog games, and this is being used for the upcoming Sonic Mania and already used for other re-releases of Sonic games. He already amazed me when he reverse-engineered and rebuilt Sonic the Hedgehog in assembly(?) for the GBA to prove a point way back, it's almost as though this paved the way for HCGE.
I hope that one day the engine can be fully ported over to the 3DS, especially with a .CIA build, as this could make for some amazing homebrew content. It's a shame that the build with sound does not appear to work.
Otherwise, I do have a GCW Zero with which to fully enjoy the engine, but few people own these things.

If I remember right, Sonic Mania isn't using this engine. It's using the Retro Engine, which was used for the cell phone remakes of Sonic CD, Sonic 1, and Sonic 2.

Ahh, so it does apparently, here I mistook the retro engine for HCGE.
Regardless, what these guys have accomplished is superb.

when I try to load HCGE I just get a red screen on the bottom screen, while the top screen has a horizontal line of glitch on the left of the screen.

I tried both versions.
The code is almost 2.5 years old. It's not surprising at all it's in a broken state. You might try to contact the author on his site but I wouldn't expect much in terms of support for this abandonware.

Here you go:
Experimental Builds:
3DS
- requires a 3DS/New3DS capable of running "The Homebrew Launcher"

If you experience any problems with any version of HCGE, please report them at the forum!
If I don't know about it, I can't fix it!

Hey Stealth, there's a stack dump error on load for 3ds on Luma version 8 running 11.4. Any idea what's causing this error?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
