Pictochat3D

Pictochat3D is a work in progress chat client inspired by Pictochat for the Nintendo 3DS.

Originally created by Tjessx, the project was later taken over by Ptrk25. The server is down since 2016 and the homebrew no longer works.

Features

Online chat - Messages got a 29 character length maximum (temporarily).
Connect/disconnect message when someone joins.
"LIST" command, shows a list of online users.
Usernames before someone can chat.
Usable Interface.
- Shows messages and a basic keyboard.
- QWERTY keyboard - Including numbers and signs.

Unpack your download in the 3DS folder of your SD card (location drive:/3ds/pictochat3DS/pictochat3DS.3dsx).

Boot into the homebrew menu using your favorite method.

Find and start pictochat3DS.

If the server is available it will prompt you for a message to enter your username and press A.

If no message appears, or an error, the server is down, or you don't have internet connection.

You'll get a message that you're connected, and you can send messages using the A button.

Pressing start shutdown pictochat3DS and brings you back to the homebrew menu.

Boot but no messages? Server is busy, and has no time for you.
Get an actual error message on boot? Server is offline.
Pictochat3DS crashes at the 501th message? It reaches the maximum room for messages.
Once connected, but you get error messages when trying to send a message?
- You lost internet connection.
- Server went offline after you connected.
- Server kicked you out for unknown reason.
