Monty3DS is a port of MicroPython to the 3DS. It can run in one of three ways: with arguments via HBL (for a common Python binary), via NetLoad using a slightly modified FalconPunch (FBI), or you can package it up into a CIA for home screen installation. '''Note from developer:''' MicroPython is a limited Python interpreter designed for microcontrollers, which can be a bit lacking (threading, for example), still there are several wrappers for 3DS libraries you can play with out of the box such as ctru/sf2d/sftd and a new [https://github.com/ObsidianX/3ds_libzipfs zipfs library] that is written specifically for Monty which lets you mount uncompressed zip files as filesystems. ==Installation== Release contains the following: * monty_args - Runs Python scripts via Homebrew Launcher shortcuts. * monty_netload - Load Python applications over the network like 3dslink or FBI's net loader. * monty_romfs - Make your own Python CIA with this ROMFS starter pack. ==User guide== MicroPython doesn't didn't have a threading concept so you can't create threads from "import threading". threading in C to load JPEG/PNG files, but Python needs to poll the loader thread to see if it can use the image yet ([https://github.com/ObsidianX/3ds_monty/blob/8610b68b161880f82ce76215d61ea9ecb9fea90f/3ds/tests/bg-load-test.py example]). ==Credits== Netload code based on [https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI FBI] (steveice10) and [https://github.com/blockfeed/FalconPunch/tree/1c704534913df9a31840355d8e67783ae0f27da8 FalconPunch] (blockfeed). ==External links== * GitHub (Monty3DS) - https://github.com/ObsidianX/3ds_monty * GitHub (3ds_libzipfs) - https://github.com/ObsidianX/3ds_libzipfs * Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/5afpr3/comment/d9i3es5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
