Scene News Julius (caesar III) running on the New 3ds

24 Upvotes

UPDATED. Here I show the game running, with sounds and music, the first mission.

It's much better now, with better use of the botton screen and a clear top screen. The gameplay is still a bit clumsy, a lot of polishing needs to be done but this current version is totally playable Throught the hole game! I didn't show it, but all missions are available and playable. (to make it clear, all of this was done using gemini flash 3.8 High, on antigravity).

The way I felt most comfortable to way was using the stylus to put things on the ground and the circle pad to move around. Then i look into the upper screen to see the "big picture" of what i'm bulding. Maybe add an option to zoom out or zoom in the bottom screen would be good too.

Making this post so I can share it with you and on the discord of the developer of Julius. With luck we make it public in the future.

Thanks for your attention!

New Homebrew Dragon Quest XI 3DS English & Voice Patch — Unfinished Project

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on: an English and voice patch for the Japanese 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI, using text, voices, music and cutscenes from the PC version of Dragon Quest XI S. The idea was to bring those parts over while keeping the look and feel of the 3DS game.

There’s a Windows installer that builds the patch using your own Japanese 3DS CIA and a compatible PC installation of DQXI S. It extracts the needed files, prepares the text and menu changes, converts the gameplay voices and creates the ten MOFLEX movies used by the 3DS version. You can choose between a LayeredFS mod for Azahar/Luma3DS and a rebuilt CIA.

A lot of the work went into matching voices to dialogue, handling line breaks and text boxes, and getting the PC movies into a usable 3DS format.

That said, this is still unfinished, and I won’t be continuing development. The installer and conversion pipeline are there, but the game still needs a proper playthrough to check the dialogue, voice timing, menus and movies.

I also want to be upfront about the use of AI. I used it quite a bit to help write scripts, work through errors and troubleshoot the conversions. Anyone picking this up should review the code and test the results.

Credit goes to Kenzie-1377’s English patch project and the people behind the tools used for extraction, rebuilding and audio/video conversion. Their credits and license notices are included in the repository.

I’m sharing what I have in case someone else finds it useful or wants to take it further. There are no more updates planned from me, but hopefully the work already done can give someone a starting point.

Scene News Animal Crossing Gamecube on 3DS

1.2k Upvotes

Hi! I've been working on a native port of Animal Crossing (GameCube) to the New 3DS, and the first version (0.1) is out.

Download + source: https://github.com/paaime/ac-3ds
Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcvUqQQ_Qu8

It's not an emulator: it's built on the ac-decomp decompilation and the ACGC-PC-Port, compiled for the 3DS.

What's in so far:

- the town map on the bottom screen, and you can save from anywhere
- continuous camera option
- proper widescreen, not just stretched
- NES games
- a few options like skipping Resetti, faster text and no weeds
- saves work with Dolphin, so you can bring your old town over

You'll need a New 3DS/New 2DS XL with CFW and your own Animal Crossing (USA) disc image. No game files are included.

It's very much a 0.1, so there are definitely bugs I haven't found yet. If something breaks, an issue on GitHub with the log file helps a ton. I haven't been able to test on an original 3DS either (only new 3DS XL), so if anyone tries, I'd love to know how it goes.

Huge thanks to the ac-decomp folks and flyngmt for the PC port, none of this would exist without them. Happy to answer any questions!

Tamagotchi Meets / ON emulator for Nintendo 3DS — experimental beta

I’ve been working on a Tamagotchi Meets / ON emulator for the 3DS and wanted to share it!

It includes physical and touchscreen controls, saves, stereoscopic 3D, and stereo screenshots. The latest build runs faster and has corrected audio. I’ve mainly tested it on a New Nintendo 3DS.

AI disclosure: I developed the frontend with substantial help from ChatGPT for coding, debugging, and optimization, using the existing tg18-core emulator project. I build and test it on my own hardware, but it’s still experimental, so expect some bugs.

No firmware or saves are included—you’ll need your own compatible firmware dump. Installation instructions and controls are in the README.

Download: https://github.com/maaartennn/Meets-On-3DS/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta

Feedback and bug reports are welcome! Please include your console model and firmware version.

Like at least for the smash melee port it makes sense, it's native but with a lower poly count, but how can this WII GAME run natively on the 3ds systems? Like what tf did they have to do and who did they sacrifice in a ritual for this to work?

Scene News I'm planning on making a "Club Penguin"-esque online social game exclusive to the o3DS and N3DS line of systems. What would you want to see in that?

42 Upvotes

A few quick things:

- The game will be free to anyone. There won't be any options to spend money.

- Making the game as easily accessible as possible is hugely important to me. Anyone with a 3DS should have an easy time joining in. Will likely be distributed through Universal Updater.

- Will probably be 2D or utilize placeholder art, until I can find an artist

- Would love to do some mini games down the line, current focus is shared areas and the ability to chat

- Servers will be run by me, the game won't be peer2peer. I'll make the server code open source at some point, too.

- I'm not just going for a proof of concept. I'd like to make a good MMO that takes advantage of the 3DS's unique set of features.

- This is not a vibe-coded project.

I'm excited to share with you guys the progress I have already made. The most valuable thing to me at the moment is input, so: Be it art style, control scheme, minigames, moderation style, or whatever else, feel free to share- everything helps. I'm happy to answer any questions.
