3dfetch 3DS

3dfetch is a 3DS homebrew application that can display varies information of your 3DS in pretty colors.

Similar to Linux's screenfetch script, but unsigned and executed on a Nintendo 3DS. RSF file based off of this dummy RSF. Mainly developed as a method for learning 3DS homebrew toolkits, libraries, and build environments.

Features

• Pretty colors.
• Cycle through text colors using the d-pad, and background colors using the L and R buttons.
• Press the A button to take a screenshot, saved to the SD card root as 3dfetch_day_month_year_x.jpg.
• All information dynamically grabbed from 3DS' hardware.
• New 3DS and old 3DS compatible.
• Press select for a configuration menu.
• Use in tandem with imgurup-3ds for an easy sharing experience.

Installation

Installing

Latest release includes CIA file/QR code. Or you can get it on TitleDB within FBI.

Building

• makerom to create the CIA.
• 3ds-tool to recompile the ROM filesystem.
• bannertool to create the banner and icon files.
• A fork of lpp-3ds found here which includes expanded functionality. The compiled binary (lpp-3ds.elf) is included in the repository, we strongly suggest against attempts to compile it yourself, if such necessity arises, visit the forks repository for instructions.

CIA - To compile, run make to build an installable CIA-file.

3DSX - If you wish to use 3dfetch inside the Homebrew Launcher, run make 3dfetch.3dsx instead and merge the /3ds/ folder with the one on your SD card.

Network-sent 3DSX - If you would like to have 3dfetch be sent via network to your console, open up Homebrew Launcher, press Y and run make 3dsx instead.
