Revision as of 06:45, 3 September 2021

3dfetch is a 3DS homebrew application that can display varies information of your 3DS in pretty colors.

Similar to Linux's screenfetch script, but unsigned and executed on a Nintendo 3DS. RSF file based off of this dummy RSF. Mainly developed as a method for learning 3DS homebrew toolkits, libraries, and build environments.

Cycle through text colors using the d-pad, and background colors using the L and R buttons.
Press the A button to take a screenshot, saved to the SD card root as 3dfetch_day_month_year_x.jpg.
All information dynamically grabbed from 3DS' hardware.
New 3DS and old 3DS compatible.
Press select for a configuration menu.
Use in tandem with imgurup-3ds for an easy sharing experience.
