VNDS-LOVE is a cross platform program that plays Visual Novel Dual Screen formatted novels. Windows, Mac, Linux, and the Nintendo Switch are all fully supported (note that you need to have a Switch capable of running homebrew).
VNDS is a specification designed for visual novels in order to run them on the Nintendo DS. Many famous visual novels have been ported to this format, which only have a few commands. As such, they don’t have any support for animations, videos, or other fancier graphical capabilites of newer visual novels. They support basic audio and image based storytelling.
For Nintendo 3DS, it is only partially supported and a work in progress. At the moment the image format that the 3DS needs is custom (.t3x) so PNG/JPG files do not work on it without being converted. Text and audio still work fine without any conversion. Performance on the 3DS is also lacking at this moment.
Note: Many of the original sources for the VNDS no longer exist, but you can find further information on it at VNDS Wiki.
Installation
3DSX build is available, note that image format needs to be .t3x.
