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.

  • 3DSX - Place hrt3ds.3dsx in the /3ds/hrt3ds/. Run it from the Homebrew Launcher.

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

  • A minor audio patch to fix issues detailed in #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.
