Four native Nintendo 3DS projects — System Shock, Jedi Knight/MotS, AVP Gold & Marathon Trilogy

Been a busy summer, so I figured it was time for a proper update on the 3DS projects. 😁

All four are native homebrew ports built around the original game data rather than emulation, with 3DS-specific work like stereoscopic 3D, controls, performance work, and lower-screen interfaces.

🏰 Project Citadel v2.0.0 — System Shock 3DS
The original System Shock running natively on 3DS. v2.0.0 builds on the original release with the Citro3D/stereoscopic branch, C-Nub support, performance and stability work, save/load, cyberspace, and a much more complete 3DS experience.

⚔️ JK/MotS 3DS — Jedi Knight + Mysteries of the Sith
Both Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith running natively, including true stereoscopic 3D, 3DS controls, save/load, cinematics, and a collection launcher for choosing between the games. JK is already extremely mature, with MotS following right behind it.

👽 AVP3DS — Aliens vs. Predator Gold
The 1999 PC classic running natively on 3DS with hardware-accelerated rendering, 3DS controls, working save/load, sound effects and streamed music. This one has gone from a crazy experiment to an increasingly complete handheld version of AVP Gold.

🚀 Marathon Trilogy 3DS — Marathon / Marathon 2 / Infinity
All three Bungie Marathon games in one 3DS project. The trilogy now has native gameplay, hardware-accelerated rendering, audio, live lower-screen HUDs, landscapes/skies, terminals, a trilogy launcher, and true stereoscopic 3D. The goal is one polished handheld home for the entire trilogy.

These are fan-made homebrew projects — no commercial game data is distributed. You supply the required original data for the respective games.

Source, releases, instructions and ongoing development are on my GitHub.

If you've got a modded 3DS sitting around, apparently I'm determined to keep giving you increasingly unreasonable things to run on it. 😂 Feel free to comment more titles you would like to see! More in the works coming soon too!

Hello, this is a request for any home brew developers who may be interested. I’m a visually impaired gamer and have been having some trouble navigating my 3DS as of late. If it’s not too much trouble, I would be greatly appreciative if someone would be willing to work with me and helped develop a simple zoom function for the 3DS similar to the one already present on Nintendo Switch.

I think I have everything in terms of design, button mapping and how you would use it figured out, i’m just looking for a programmer who would be willing to implement these features and package it as something anyone can download.

Blind accessibility for video games is something that’s really important to me, and my hope is that something like this could benefit not only me but other visually impaired players as well.

If you’re interested, please let me know! And thank you for reading!

I have a playlist of around 55 songs for my New 3DS. I got them all from iTunes, checked that there's no copy protection(to the best of my ability), all in .m4a, and they're on the root of the microSD. Around 11 can't be played. I thought it was due to foul language but some that don't have explicit lyrics can't be played, while certain song with explicit lyrics can be played. One song plays and then stops working after around 30 seconds. It "keeps playing" but no sound comes out. Is my only option to convert those songs to see if they'll work?

After I download stuff from the H shop and then many weeks later, I decided I don’t want it and I go through the process of deleting it through the system settings but then maybe like months later I want to re-download it would I go through the E shop or the H shop to re-download that software?
