@nomand is that your photo?
@nomand wow, could I share as hundred rabbits? This kind of recyclism is totally on brand right now..
@neauoire Ofcourse <3
@neauoire Give me your merveilles Zoe disk a nd I could take a picture with that workspace for you
@reese_pony @neauoire Somebody else ported mini-vmac to 3ds. I just installed it on my modded one and boot the merveilles hypercard jam system disk
@reese_pony there's a link to github for the emulator in the thread :)
@reese_pony @neauoire any model as long as you're running custom firmware that allows you to install homebrew software on the system
@johannesg @neauoire Mine is the "new nintendo3ds", one with face-tracked 3D, but can't see why it wouldn't work on the older one.
Modding is quite involved, prepare to spend the whole day getting the right packages and stuff. I did mine years ago.
Start here

and here

and good luck!
@nomand @johannesg @neauoire The DS Lite doesn't have an OS as such, basically just firmware that will boot a GBA or DS cart so you would need a flashcart.
There might be a HyperCard viewer for the original DS but a cursory search didn't turn anything up.
You can get a 3DS pretty cheap these days (and that will run any DS carts you have as well) so if you want to do homebrew that is the way to go.
@drisc @johannesg @neauoire Oh I thought Johannes asked about the 3ds lite. Yeah, plain DS won't work with this.
@kitsunelli @neauoire Nice! My favorite edition! I have the white one :)
@Truck @operand @nomand well, if it's running on a 3DS, I doubt it'd work on a DSi XL, because the 3DS is many times more powerful than the predecessors (multi-100-MHz multicore CPU, several hundered megabytes of RAM, etc., vs 66/133 MHz+4/16 megs, the latter doesn't sound like it's enough to emulate an entire OS)
@pcy @operand @nomand ... but I definately ran this: https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/DSLinux
Also that photo is most definately a DS Lite (and I also have a DS lite (: )
So I'm ... you know, just going to run it on whatever I can get it to boot easily AND see with my incredibly poor eyeballs (:
@nomand @neauoire why won’t anyone make that software? obviously not the trademarked and copyrighted hypercard but something as good as hypercard, but foss or actually supported?! it’s been done before that i remember but it was back in #classicmacOS era)
@nomand Think I know how I am going to use my 3DS
@dualhammers At one point I weasled my way into nindendo dev portal, downloaded their tools including custom Unity build, put together a quick tech demo running a YarnSpinner dialogue test, deployed to 3DS without a devikit by using pirating exploit tools to convert my own binary into an executable. I still have it on my handheld :)
@dualhammers @neauoire I still somewhat hope to revisit Unity for 3DS to make a niche piece of curious homebrew.
@nomand WHAT
