Hi it's me. Hello :)

I have a 3DS Test Unit, which is capable of installing 3DS/DSi applications compiled in the .CIA format from an SD card. So while a way to install applications you create yourself, for normal 3DSs is not possible (i.e. homebrew for 3DS is not yet possible), I am willing to test them for you. I am also in contact with two other people which I may be able to forward .CIAs to for testing if my Test Unit is incompatible with the .CIA.

I've contributed a bit on this wiki, documenting as much info about the 3DS as I can by use of my 3DS Test Unit.

  • I've identified most the rules and conventions of CTR title IDs and moved them to the wiki Title list
  • Finally figured out what the weird section at the end of the CIA was :)
  • Generally adding bits of info here and there, keeping information updated and constantly questioning things which don't sound right to me ;)
  • Also I've made a thread on gbatemp.net documenting 3DS Development Hardware. To my knowledge it is the most accurate public document regarding 3DS Development Hardware on the internet. If you have any questions regarding 3DS Development Units, you will most likely find your answer in that thread.

But what I have contributed is only marginal compared to what Neimod and Yellows8 have done. Most of the stuff on this wiki comes from these dedicated guys. They are the backbone of this wiki.

Submitting a .CIA for testing

Make sure you include:

  • What the application is supposed to do, and anything you would like me to look out for (outside the actual running of the application)
  • What you would like me to record. i.e. screenshots, values returned, etc
  • Whether or not I can share the .CIA with other people publicly, privately or at all
  • The SDK version and revision the application is built with.

Then once you have all that done send the email to devguy@hotmail.com.au

Please note that all .CIAs sent are not installed blindly, each have their title IDs checked to confirm that they will not overwrite/damage any irreplaceable/critical titles.
