{{lowercase title}} Recreation of Horse Race Tests by Blake Andrews using [[Love Potion 3DS|LÖVE Potion]]. == Features == * Faithful remake of Horse Race Tests, now on 3DS. * Features all 9 regular horses + 7 evil(?) horses, all with individual winscreens and win music. * Customizable horse lineups with multiple maps (3) and BGM (3). * Race up to 15 horses at once, or try a 1v1 duel. * Custom or random races, set up the race of your dreams. * Low-res remake of e1m3t4/e1m6t2 bg theme and 2 custom bg themes. * Enjoy the crisp 400x240px 3DS resolution as the arm11 struggles with all the wall collisions. == Installation == Download the [https://github.com/vinegar77/hrt-3ds/releases/latest latest release]: * 3DSX - Place hrt3ds.3dsx in the /3ds/hrt3ds/. Run it from the Homebrew Launcher. * CIA - Install hrt3ds.cia via [[FBI 3DS|FBI]]. Load times may be better on new CIA version for Old3ds. == Screenshots == https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrews/images/hrt3ds2.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrews/images/hrt3ds3.png == Known issues == All 3DS models: * Wall-hitting sfx do not always play at right times. * Pressing home while a race is running may cause horses to leave map. * Glitches/crashes may occur if intentionally spamming buttons while screens are loading, but this is rare. Old 3DS/Old 2DS exclusive: * Issues arise when racing many horses at once: * BGM will often stutter while gameplay appears stable, recommended to race with music off when many horses present. * All sounds may stop playing until a horse wins. * A horse can sometimes clip into/through walls if the fps drops enough. == Changelog == '''v1.1.2 2025/10/23''' * Updated internal engine to latest version. ** Load times are faster on all 3DS models, especially with CIA build. ** Improved framerate/reduced audio lag on o3DS models during races. * Slight updates to collision thread to reduce table iterations. * Updated music toggle to resume rather than restart the bgm. '''v1.1.1 2025/10/18''' * A minor audio patch to fix issues detailed in [https://github.com/vinegar77/hrt-3ds/issues/1 #1]: ** Fixed a bug where toggling audio on and off during a race led to a crash. ** Added an option to run a custom race without music *** Win Songs will still play at the end of the race. ** Adjusted BGM audio type to greatly reduce audio stutter on Old3DS. *** BGM with the default number of horses (6) may occasionally still stutter slightly, but is closer to performace pre-1.1.0 update. *** More complex maps like map 3 have worse performance than others. *** Further improvements may come in a future version. '''v1.1.0 2025/10/16''' * New Evil Horse "Truck Stop Highway" (from Season 2). * New map "map3" (the horse yuri map). * New custom background song, plus titled old custom one. * Attempts at Old3DS performance improvements. * Oft-requested CIA release! Enjoy the horses on your homescreen, and with slightly faster load times. '''v1.0.0 2025/05/16''' * Updates: ** 6 Nightmare Horses (AMF, BIN, NGT, OOB, FF8, and FFF). ** Likewise, increased horse cap to 15 on map 1. ** New map (map 4), supports 1 to 7 horses at once. ** New custom background music, plus update to the old bg track. ** Each horse now has their own respective win theme. ** Updated Yellow's name to Lightning Strikes Thrice. ** Added a main menu. ** Ability to set up custom races (choose horse lineup, map, and bg track). ** Huge code rewrite behind-the-scenes to allow for much better performance on both old and new 3ds models with many horses. * Bugfixes: ** Game should load in slightly faster. ** Wall-hit sfxs will no longer occasionally play twice per collision. ** Horses clip through walls much less often than before on old 3ds models. ** Properly rescaled Place Your Bets box should no longer take as long to load/update. ** Overall performance should be much better in most regards, despite some new audio glitches on old 3ds. ** Icon corners now properly blend into Homebrew Launcher menu. '''v0.1.0 2025/05/03''' * Initial Release! * Still under development. Old3DS models may lag significantly with more than 5 horses racing at once. * No main menu, takes a second to load assets when first opened. == Credits == * Blake Andrews ([https://x.com/snakesandrews snakesandrews]) for Horse Race Tests. * Made using LÖVE2D with [https://github.com/lovebrew/lovepotion LÖVE Potion]. * Anibal Bley ([https://x.com/anibalbley anibalbley]) for original e1m3t4/e1m6t2 background track. * [https://soundcloud.com/1lexycat lexycat] for horse win tracks. * [https://www.100gecs.com/ 100 gecs] for stupid horse (as was featured in the tournament). * [https://github.com/vrld/HC HC 2D Collision Detection module]. == External links == * GitHub - https://github.com/vinegar77/hrt-3ds * Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/HorseRaceTests/comments/1kdoej4/horse_race_tests_on_3ds/
