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

Screenshots
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.
