unxds is a port of the Unx virtual machine to the 3DS. Uxn is a portable 8-bit virtual computer inspired by forth-machines, capable of running simple tools and games programmable in its own assembly language.

This emulator allows you run to your uxn projects on the 3DS, it can also be used for developers who want to learn how to program little 8-bit things.

Installation

There is one binary provided: uxnds.3dsx.

By default, uxnds will run /uxn/boot.rom.

Note: When using a real DS/DSi/3DS console, it is recommended to launch this program via nds-hb-menu - though, as it currently doesn't use argc/argv, it doesn't really change much.

User guide

On start, a keyboard is presented on the bottom screen, and the uxn display is on the top screen.

Resources

Uxn Roms (repo) - Uxn roms by Rekka Bellum and Devine Lu Linvega.
Uxn Demos - List of demos by Bruno Garcia.
Unx tutorial - Unx programming guide.

Controls

L/R - Swap top and bottom screens

Touchscreen - Mouse input

Screenshots

Media

Noodle - Magic Brush (Devine Lu Linvega)

Compatibility

Works on DS, DSi and 3DS.

Changelog

v0.4.1a

Add support from loading "boot.rom" from a relative path.
Fix controller device implementation to more closely match uxn/Varvara.
[NDS] Minor audio fixes.

v0.4.0

New features:
- [3DS] Native 3DS port! Unlike the old uxn3ds, this one should have feature parity with the NDS port, in particular including a touch keyboard. As with uxn3ds, a 320x240 resolution screen is provided over 256x192, and the 3D slider can be used to observe the background and foreground layers separately.
- [NDS] New keyboard implementation - providing all keys exposed by the official Varvara implementation, as well as improving modifier support.
Improvements/Bug fixes:
- Fix "datetime" device implementation.
- [NDS] Minor optimizations to screen "fill mode".
- Moved the "reset" button to use a touch button instead.

v0.1.1-3ds (proof of concept)

CPU core update (incl. performance improvements).
