tangerine

A work-in-progress music player for the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch

Overview:

  • The 3DS build is currently in heavy development as the shift is made from pp2d to citro2d. Please use the previous build instead of building yourself.
  • Put all music in ""/music"" folder on your SD card as traditional file browsing is not currently supported yet
  • Support for multiple formats (wav, flac, and mp3 currently)
  • Skip forward and back a song using the L and R buttons
  • Use the progress bar on the touch screen to scrub through the audio (SLOW)
  • Pause/Play with A, and return to file selection with B
  • Touchscreen controls (yay?)

Planned Features:

  • ☐ Update internal documentation
  • ☐ Move to citro2d
  • ☐ Switch version
  • ☐ Actual file browsing
  • ☐ Support for more formats
  • ☐ Ability to create playlists
  • ☒ Ability to play playlists
  • ☐ Record and save bits of audio using the microphone like the built in app
  • ☐ UI overhaul (currently it's not super terrible, but it's definitely not where I want it to be)
  • ☐ Themes maybe?
  • anything else the 3DS's sound application does

Building

You can just run make or make all to get both 3ds and switch builds, but for just one of them follow this:

3DS

Make sure you have the latest releases of ctrulib, citro3d, citro2d, and 3ds-mpg123 installed via the devkitPro pacman. Then type

make 3ds

to get a .3dsx, .smdh, and .cia

Switch

Make sure you have the latest releases of libnx and switch-mpg123 installed via the devkitPro pacman. Then type

make switch

to get an .nro

Known Issues:

  • Some flac files have issues with playback speed on hardware but work fine in Citra
  • Scrubbing within flac/mp3 files may take several seconds on Old 3DS depending on the size of the file WARNING: This was my first time ever writing C. There are going to be bugs and 90% percent of this is probably terrible code, so don't hesitate to report anything because I probably wouldn't have found it otherwise.
