Introducing the Homebrew Video Player for the 3DS, a powerful multimedia tool that supports multiple languages. This player is designed to provide an immersive and enjoyable video viewing experience on your Nintendo 3DS.
Homebrew video player for the 3DS with multi-language support.


One of the key features of this video player is its hardware acceleration capabilities, which are available on New 3DS or New 2DS systems. This means that videos can be decoded and converted with greater speed and efficiency, resulting in smoother playback and better performance.
On NEW 3(2)DS, it is recommended to use the [https://github.com/Core-2-Extreme/Luma3DS/releases/ patched Luma3DS] or [[Luma3DS]] v12.0 (or later) for better performance.
 
The player also supports multiple video and audio codecs, allowing you to play a wide range of media files. Additionally, you can easily navigate and search through your media library with the file explorer feature.
 
With the ability to seek, zoom in/out, and move the video, you have full control over your viewing experience. On New 3DS or 3DS systems, you can even enjoy 3D video playback (with software decoding only). The player also includes a fullscreen mode for a truly immersive viewing experience.
 
For the best experience on New 3DS or New 2DS systems, we recommend using the [https://github.com/Core-2-Extreme/Luma3DS/releases/ patched Luma3DS] or the latest [[Luma3DS]]. This will help ensure optimal performance and compatibility with the hardware acceleration features of the player.

Recommended resolution

On NEW 3(2)DS, it is recommended to use patched Luma3DS or the latest Luma3DS for better performance.

Videos that in this resolution will be played without any problems in most of the situations.

Recommended resolution mpeg1video mpeg2video H263+ H264 H265

NEW3DS Hardware decoding none none none 800x240@60 none

Videos that in this resolution may be played without problems if video is not moving a lot.

OLD3DS Software decoding 800x240@24 800x240@24 800x240@20 400x240@15 256x144@20

Note: Video resolution that exceeds screen resolution (400x240 on OLD2DS, 800x240 on OLD3DS, NEW2DS and NEW3DS) has little visible effect.

Preparing videos

Using ffmpeg (advanced users):

  • Download and install ffmpeg.
    • For NEW3DS and NEW2DS: ffmpeg -i {input_file_name} -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -s 800x240 -preset medium -crf 25 {output_file_name}
    • For OLD3DS and OLD2DS: ffmpeg -i {input_file_name} -acodec aac -vcodec mpeg4 -s 400x240 -crf 25 {output_file_name}
  • Copy generated video files to your 3DS (anywhere on your SD card).
  • Replace {input_file_name} with your input file name and {output_file_name} with your output file name.
  • Example: ffmpeg -i original_video.mp4 -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -s 800x240 -preset medium -crf 25 converted_video.mp4
  • For converting 3D video, refer to this post by T0biasCZe.
