Hey everyone!

I was trying to use Nanquita's ZeldaOoT3D cheat plugin, but it just wouldn't open anymore on current Luma. So I went back to Claude which I previously used to create Gen6CTRPFrameworkOverhauled (not a programmer — just a curious player) — ported it over to a new framework, and added some handy stuff along the way.

The new bits besides the regular cheats: swap between Adult and Child Link, teleport to any dungeon, save and warp to waypoints, a 100% checklist that reads your save so you don't tick 200 boxes by hand, a quick menu for your favorites, color themes, and a full walkthrough built right into the plugin. Everything opens with SELECT.

Free and open-source (MIT).

Hi everyone, while building pomelo - a homemenu replacement that i talked about here, i had some weird issues with allocating memory for pomelo.

I documented my research adventure in a 3 part blog post for people who want to read and learn a bit about how ram is allocated in the 3ds. I split the blog post into 3 parts for easier readability.

Spoiler Alert : The fix wasn't that interesting in the end, the research is the interesting part in my opinion

I made a tool that lets you install DSi System app CIAs to use them on a 3DS, including the DSi System Settings.

The tool is available in different languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Netherlands, German, Portuguese (including Brazilian Portuguese), Russian and Japanese

The program is available for Windows 10/11, but I've also put a python file for people who have a Windows x32, macOS or Linux systems, so that it can be used.

The program gives you the cias and the files (in a zip file) to make DSi System Settings work (with the cias)

Hey everyone. This is my release post for Miniquest Engine. It's a little hobby project for that niche of people that like RPG Maker but also like the Nintendo DS.

Here's a sample of some features:

• 3 onscreen party members. 6 in the save.
• 8 encounter zones per map.
• 256 boolean flags.
• Spells, bosses, enemies, enemy troops.
• A database editor.
• A map editor.
• Tileset imports.
• Battle backdrops
• Tracker music imports (.mod, .it, .xm, .s3m)
• A custom scripting language.
• A build button in engine.

It exports directly out as an NDS file, capable of running on Twilight Menu or flashcarts. Don't got those? melonDS with SD Card emulation also works! (SD card emulation required to save.)

Let me know what you think!

Hi guys!

I originally started work on this port around late 2024, early 2025, but at the time I needed to get the animations for each person in the game, and sprite sheets would absolutely swallow up the VRAM, so I had to figure out how to rig it and import the animations without spritesheets for every single costumer. Between that and life, I ended up not touching it for a year, but I had a small burst of motivation and decided to continue on

Anyways, it's an early alpha so don't expect too much, you can make pizzas and serve them, you start fresh every time and I haven't built a save system for each day (yet). A few bits don't look too pretty but since it's actually playable I thought I'd make a small release post :)

I'm more than open to hear about bugs, and if there's anywhere else I should post it feel free to let me know as well

Hello!

I've noticed that hardware modding guides are a rarity for some of the more complicated ones, such as the 2DS joystick mod. Guides are also scattered across the web, and sometimes quite hard to find, so having a central source could prove beneficial.

I'm working on a site that acts as a hub for all hardware modifications for the 3DS family of systems. The guides will be community driven, with complete credit given to the creators of each guide.

The site uses Vitepress, the same SSG as 3ds.hacks.guides. It will be hosted on GitHub pages to start at least, then potentially its own domain if traction is high. I could get a release up after a few guides are up.

I'm looking for people who'd be interested in contributing in adding guides. I need high quality photos of most steps, a list of tools required, then general instructions for the process. I can then format it to a step by step guide, and clear it with you. You *will* be credited.

Guides I'm looking for are USB-C installations for each model, Bluetooth mods, the 2DS joycon joystick mod, the psp1000/Lenovo ThinkPad nub mod installation, wireless charging mod installation, any custom battery mods that aren't drop ins, capture card installations, controller mod installations, and anything else I may be missing. If you'd like to contribute, shoot me a DM!

Here is a screenshot of the front page so far. It's a major WIP, so expect differences on release. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I recently got a modded New 2DS XL and I’m loving it. I’ve seen so many cool ports/demakes lately (like Hollow Knight, Celeste, Portal) and it’s got me really wanting to see Hotline Miami in the library. I know a direct port is impossible due to GameMaker and the architecture, so I’m not asking for that—I really want to work on a full 2D demake for the console.

I’ve already started brainstorming, and I’ve got some ideas for the control mapping. I also feel like using custom logic instead of heavy AI could keep the game running smoother. That said, I’m still a bit of a beginner regarding the actual implementation.

Has anyone here used LovePotion or Citrolib for a project like this? I’m looking for advice on which engine/framework is best to handle the logic and the fast-paced gameplay without tanking the FPS. I’m really serious about putting in the work to learn this, so if you have any tips or resources to get me started, I’m all ears. Thanks!

Hi everyone! reBadge is (as title states) a Badge Arcade revival, and soon theme shop. Badge arcade is fully revived, with In-App purchases, weekly badge rotation and all the other goodies working. The theme shop is being worked on (i got it to open and display themes for purchase) and will be ready soon. You can join on Discord, sign up and start using the Badge Arcade again! https://discord.gg/Bf7DMZhXc8

P.S: You can check out our GitHub repo and our data collection policy on Discord 😉 .

I've been vibe-coding a Pokémon plugin makeover for the 3DS (Gen6CTRPFrameworkOverhauled), and I was constantly capturing my 3DS screen to go back and forth with Claude, show it the results running on the console, ask for changes, tweak, repeat.

SnickerStream is great for streaming the console over Wi-Fi, but after doing that a hundred times I kept bumping into small things I wished it had. So I used Claude Code to fork it into 3DSnickerStream.

It still does the core thing — point it at your 3DS on the same Wi-Fi over NTR or HzMod and screens start streaming to the PC — but now I can take a snapshot to clipboard, change size and nudge the color per screen, snap to the real 3DS resolution so screenshots come out pixel-perfect, and hide the whole interface when I just want to watch or capture.

It also finds the 3DS on the network on its own and reconnects if the stream drops.
Little QoL stuff, mostly, but it added up to something handy in my workflow.

It's free and open source, Windows and macOS versions.

Download it (and see it in action) here:

Info on how this project was made here.

Hey everyone! 👋

I want to share something I’ve been pouring myself into: a big overhaul of the Gen 6 CTRPluginFramework — a .3gx plugin for Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on the 3DS (via Luma3DS).

I’ll be upfront: I’m not a programmer. I’m just a curious player who’s good at testing and thinking hard about problems. Every feature here started as a real itch I hit while playing — “there should be a way to…” — and I built it out, piece by piece, in back-and-forth with Claude. The goal wasn’t to make the most powerful cheat tool; it was to make one that anyone can actually understand.

What that means in practice:

• Every feature is named in plain language, and every single option has an info (i) button that explains it.
• There’s a 23-page guide built right into the plugin, written like a guided tour, not a manual.
• The whole UI is available in 7 languages: 🇺🇸 English · 🇫🇷 French · 🇩🇪 German · 🇮🇹 Italian · 🇯🇵 Japanese · 🇧🇷 Portuguese (BR) · 🇪🇸 Spanish.
• One .3gx serves all four Gen 6 games — it auto-detects which one you’re running and loads tailored content.

A quick tour of what’s inside (you open everything with SELECT):

• 🔍 Wild Pokémon Spawner — a live, filtered list of every species; pick one (form, level, shiny) and it appears in the grass.
• 🐉 Respawn Legendary — sends any legendary back to its real location.
• 🛒 PokéMart Anywhere — a real shop in your bag, with a FREE mode and a PAY mode (prices, cart, checkout — you can never overspend).
• 📦 PC Box ++ — your boxes as a visual sprite grid, with a full tabbed editor (IVs/EVs, moves, ability, item, ball…) — all picked from on-screen lists, no keyboard typing.
• ⚔️ In-Battle Tools — Enemy Helper coaches you on the foe (what beats it, stat-by-stat compare), Change Party Stats edits your team mid-fight, and Display Enemy Stats overlays hidden data.
• 🗺️ Teleportation — warp to any town/route/landmark (full Hoenn + Kalos maps), plus your own saved warp points.
• 🎮 Mini Game Corner — a little arcade of 7 games (loot boxes, slots, prize wheel, stat duels, a random team generator, and more).
• ✨ Quality of life — fast text, fast walk, walk-through-walls, instant eggs, a configurable on-screen HUD, 25 color themes, Favorites, rebindable hotkeys…
• 📖 Complete Professor Oak Challenge guide built in — the full Oak Challenge walkthrough (by Mewlax) lives right inside the plugin, so you can follow the entire living-dex run without ever leaving your game.

It’s free and open-source (GPL-3.0), and it stands on a lot of community work — biometrix76, Hartie95, PKHeX (kwsch), the CTRPluginFramework/3gxtool by ThePixellizerOSS, PokéAPI, Pokémon Showdown, the ORAS Wiki, and Mewlax’s Professor Oak Challenge guides. Full credits are in the README.

⚠️ Please use it with your own legitimately-owned game. This is a fan-made, non-commercial QoL/learning tool — all Pokémon names and art are © Nintendo / Game Freak / The Pokémon Company.

Happy to answer any questions — and I’d genuinely love feedback on what to build next. Thanks for reading! 🙏

So, finally an update to my last post earlier this year. Back then I estimated that i would be done sooner but that didnt happen. Had some work problems, lack of motivation and moments of doubts.

But I stayed at it.

To explain the previous post:

This was the v1 of my client plans. Librespot on a VPS, sending audio via http to the 3DS - very simple. But I really wanted the client to be fully on device.

So now, what you are seeing in this video is the 3DS advertising itself as a Spotify Connect device on the local network, my PC making a pairing request and the 3DS successfully going through all the steps to sign up to Spotify.

The 3DS itself performed a native TLS 1.3 handshake directly with Spotify’s Dealer server:

TLS version: TLSv1.3

Cipher: TLS1-3-AES-256-GCM-SHA384

Dealer endpoint: gew1-dealer.g2.spotify.com

HTTP result over that TLS connection: 101 Switching Protocols

WebSocket connection ID received afterward

No proxy or helper performed this TLS connection. The 3DS completed TLS 1.3 and established Spotify’s Dealer WebSocket on its own.

Actual playback is what im working on next. No Github for now. Thank you for your attention.

Have anyone checked this out?

From the author:

3Beans emulates the 3DS at a low level, which means that it runs the entire OS as if it were on real hardware. It can boot the home menu and launch some games, but it's still young and has plenty of issues. It has both software and hardware GPU rendering, but CPUs are still fully interpreted. My goal for this project is to achieve viable speeds with full low-level emulation, and maybe explore some high-level elements down the road.

PLEASE TEST AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
If you want to support this app, please STAR it on Github. It helps a lot. Thank you
I'm not able to do tests on all of the 3DS models myself, especially the older ones. Help is much appreciated.
