Homebrew Applications

WinterMute: /* Theme managers */

== Installing ==
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the <code>3ds/</code> folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of <code>3ds/</code>, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
* <code>[appname].3dsx</code>: The executable.
* <code>[appname].smdh</code>: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the <code>.3dsx</code>)
* <code>[appname].xml</code>: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)

A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.

The [[Homebrew Launcher]] will scan the SD card for all <code>.3dsx</code> files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.

Homebrew Applications

2020-06-09T14:31:33Z

WinterMute: /* Save managers */

== Installing ==
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the <code>3ds/</code> folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of <code>3ds/</code>, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
* <code>[appname].3dsx</code>: The executable.
* <code>[appname].smdh</code>: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the <code>.3dsx</code>)
* <code>[appname].xml</code>: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)

A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.

The [[Homebrew Launcher]] will scan the SD card for all <code>.3dsx</code> files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.

Homebrew Applications

2020-06-09T14:30:35Z

WinterMute: /* File servers */

== Installing ==
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the <code>3ds/</code> folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of <code>3ds/</code>, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
* <code>[appname].3dsx</code>: The executable.
* <code>[appname].smdh</code>: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the <code>.3dsx</code>)
* <code>[appname].xml</code>: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)

A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.

The [[Homebrew Launcher]] will scan the SD card for all <code>.3dsx</code> files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.

Homebrew Applications

2020-06-09T14:29:50Z

WinterMute: /* File servers */

== Installing ==
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the <code>3ds/</code> folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of <code>3ds/</code>, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
* <code>[appname].3dsx</code>: The executable.
* <code>[appname].smdh</code>: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the <code>.3dsx</code>)
* <code>[appname].xml</code>: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)

A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.

The [[Homebrew Launcher]] will scan the SD card for all <code>.3dsx</code> files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.

== List ==

Homebrew Applications

2020-06-09T14:28:29Z

WinterMute: /* Demos */

== Installing ==
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the <code>3ds/</code> folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of <code>3ds/</code>, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
* <code>[appname].3dsx</code>: The executable.
* <code>[appname].smdh</code>: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the <code>.3dsx</code>)
* <code>[appname].xml</code>: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)

A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.

The [[Homebrew Launcher]] will scan the SD card for all <code>.3dsx</code> files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.

Homebrew Applications

2020-06-09T14:27:43Z

WinterMute: /* Launchers */

== Installing ==
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the <code>3ds/</code> folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of <code>3ds/</code>, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
* <code>[appname].3dsx</code>: The executable.
* <code>[appname].smdh</code>: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the <code>.3dsx</code>)
* <code>[appname].xml</code>: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)

A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.

The [[Homebrew Launcher]] will scan the SD card for all <code>.3dsx</code> files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.

WinterMute: remove pirate links

== Installing ==
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the <code>3ds/</code> folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of <code>3ds/</code>, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
* <code>[appname].3dsx</code>: The executable.
* <code>[appname].smdh</code>: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the <code>.3dsx</code>)
* <code>[appname].xml</code>: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)

A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.

The [[Homebrew Launcher]] will scan the SD card for all <code>.3dsx</code> files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.

Homebrew Applications

2020-06-09T14:20:26Z

WinterMute: Remove pirate links and non homebrew

== Installing ==
Applications are installed by copying the necessary files directly to the <code>3ds/</code> folder in the root of the SD card (preferred for new designs), or in a subdirectory of <code>3ds/</code>, in which case said subfolder must be named identically to its executable. Most applications come with two files:
* <code>[appname].3dsx</code>: The executable.
* <code>[appname].smdh</code>: The icon/metadata. (Not required in any case, and may be integrated into the <code>.3dsx</code>)
* <code>[appname].xml</code>: The list of supported targets (i.e. installed titles which the app supports replacing in memory at runtime, thus inheriting its permissions), and of any arguments to be passed to the .3dsx. (Optional)

A standalone .xml file can point to a differently-named .3dsx, launching it with potentially different arguments so that a single application can run in different modes.

The [[Homebrew Launcher]] will scan the SD card for all <code>.3dsx</code> files, but will only display an icon for those who have one according to the format described above. Recent enough versions can freely navigate the filesystem to select an application.

*'''22 July 16''' [[User:Dazzozo|Dazzozo]] released [https://citizens.salthax.org/ humblehax v2], supporting the Citizens of Earth update released on the eShop 3 days ago.
*'''20 July 16''' [[User:Plutooo|plutoo]] (with help from [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]]) released [https://plutooo.github.io/smilehax/ smilehax].
*'''19 July 16''' An updated version of the EUR "Citizens of Earth" regular-title is now available on the EUR-eShop, ~2 months after being originally removed. Likewise for USA on the 21st.
*'''18 July 16''' [[User:Smea|Smea]] updated the hosted *hax payload builds(only otherapp for non-KOR) and this [https://smealum.github.io/3ds/ page]. KOR is now supported thanks to d3m3vilurr(system-version >=v9.6). All otherapp payloads were rebuilt+updated, hence these now include a commit for compression(committed by [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] with compression code by mtheall). Due to this, oot3dhax+payload can now be installed with multiple other normal save-files, without any issues(via sploit_installer from the starter-kit). [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] also updated the [https://smealum.github.io/3ds/ hosted] boot.3dsx to hbmenu 1.1.1.
*'''10 July 16''' MrNbaYoh released [https://mrnbayoh.github.io/basicsploit/ BASICSploit] for version 3.2.1 of SmileBASIC. Currently only the US version is supported. On July 11th the main-app title was removed from USA/JPN eShop: it's no longer listed on the former, while on the latter it can't be purchased.
*'''26 June 16''' [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] released oot3dhax builds for supporting [[11.0.0-33]], via updated sploit_installer in the [https://smealum.github.io/3ds/ starter-kit] and raw [https://github.com/yellows8/oot3dhax/releases/tag/06-26-16 saveimages]. Note that attempting to run sploit_installer on a 11.0.0-33 system with *hax payload <=v2.7 is equivalent to [[11.0.0-33|trying]] to use the older oot3dhax on that version.
*'''3 June 16''' [[User:Plutooo|plutoo]] released [https://plutooo.github.io/freakyhax/ freakyhax]. The USA game was removed from the eShop <=3-hours later("... currently unavailable" message).
*'''9 May 16''' Nintendo released system update [[11.0.0-33]].
*'''24 March 16''' Nintendo updated the pages stored on the server used for browser-version-check. Due to almost all of the Old3DS/New3DS pages for non-latest-browser being updated(content is now "99999"), browser versions prior to [[10.7.0-32]] are not usable anymore without using the browser-version-check bypass(fixed with [[10.7.0-32]]). The only exception is New3DS v10.2, it was "updated" but the content is still "0"(this is due to browser-version-check being [[Internet_Browser|broken]] with New3DS v10.2).
*'''22 March 16''' [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] released [https://github.com/yellows8/ctr-httpwn/releases ctr-httpwn]. v1.0.1 was released on the 25th for a RootCA cert update.
*'''14 March 16''' Nintendo released system update [[10.7.0-32]].
*'''24-25 February 16''' On the 24th the Old3DS [[Internet_Browser|browser-version-check]] pages were updated so that browser version >=v10.6 is now required. The New3DS pages for this were not changed. About 5 hours later, [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] disclosed a bypass for the browser-version-check. User instructions are available [http://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax.php here], details [[3DS_Userland_Flaws|here]].
*'''22 February 16''' Nintendo released system update [[10.6.0-31]].
*'''1 February 16''' As of this date (time zones notwithstanding) following server maintenance Nintendo now checks server-side that users are on current firmware before allowing access to online functionality in games. See [[10.5.0-30|here]] for details.
*'''25 January 16''' Nintendo released system update [[10.5.0-30]].
*'''25 January 16''' [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] updated [http://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax.php browserhax], [https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_homemenuhax/releases menuhax], and the oot3dhax [https://github.com/yellows8/oot3dhax/releases saveimages] for v10.4.
*'''18 January 16''' Nintendo released system update [[10.4.0-29]].
*'''7 January 16''' (roughly, not automatically detected) Ironfall v1.0 is no longer downloadable due to the main-CXI content files on CDN being removed (TMD wasn't removed).
*'''27 December 15''' A 3DS console hacking [https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7240.html talk] was at 32C3. A recording can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UutYOidFx3c here]. Around the end of the talk, [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] released [[browserhax]] and [[menuhax]] compatible with the latest system-version at the time of release ([[10.3.0-28]]). The homebrew [https://smealum.github.io/3ds/ starter-kit] was updated for latest menuhax, and for an option for downloading the old vulnerable version of Ironfall from eShop.
*'''15 December 15''' Nintendo released Smash Bros update v1.1.3 which fixed [[smashbroshax]], see [https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_smashbroshax here] for details. However, [[smashbroshax]] is still possible on latest firmware: simply remove the update from SD card before attempting the exploit.
*'''13 December 15''' WinterMute released [http://devkitpro.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8542 devkitARM release 45].
*'''25 November 15''' [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] released [https://github.com/yellows8/hblauncher_loader/releases hblauncher_loader].
*'''17-20 November 15''' Nintendo released an update for the normal (non-invite-code) Super Smash Bros demos in USA, EUR and JPN, fixing [[smashbroshax]]. Only the demos were updated, the cartridge and eShop version of the full game are still vulnerable.
*'''12 November 15''' [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] released [https://github.com/yellows8/oot3dhax/releases oot3dhax] raw savedata images for gamecards with the latest *hax payloads. The official [https://github.com/smealum/sploit_installer installer] is now [https://smealum.github.io/3ds/ included] in the homebrew starter kit.
*'''9 November 15''' Nintendo released system update [[10.3.0-28]].
*'''2 November 15''' Following an eShop servers maintenance, changes to the [[eShop]] system application require an update of the Homebrew starter kit for eShop access on system versions older than [[10.0.0-27]]. See [[EShop|here]] for details.
*'''30 October 15''' [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] released [https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_homemenuhax/releases menuhax] v2.0.
*'''29 October 15''' [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] released [https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_smashbroshax/releases 3ds_smashbroshax] v1.2.
*'''26 October 15''' A [[Internet_Browser#v9.9_dummy_web-browser|dummy web browser]] is now being included in CUPs (cart updates) on Old3DS/New3DS likely starting with games shipping [[9.9.0-26|9.9.0-X]]. NVer is not updated by this.
*'''26 October 15''' The system web-browser on Old3DS/New3DS now displays a "sysupdate required" message on systems with [[9.9.0-26]] or above installed, if the installed browser(?) is not the latest version. See [[Internet_Browser#Forced_system-update|here]] for details.
*'''25 October 15''' [[User:Smea|smea]] released *hax 2.5 payloads, which fixes a number of bugs and adds new features such as screenshot-taking, romhacking and eshop access.
*'''20 October 15''' Nintendo released system update [[10.2.0-28]]. The publicly available versions of [[menuhax]] and [[browserhax]] at the time of sysupdate release, were blocked.
*'''15 October 15''' The [[YouTube]] application was updated with a fix for [[tubehax]]. This update is forced: the app itself checks whether a newer version of the title is available.
*'''13 October 15''' "Ironfall: Invasion" was made available on the eShop again (originally pulled on August 11th). The updated version blocks [[ironhax]].
*'''25 September 15''' [[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] released [[browserhax]] and [[menuhax]]. On the 26th menuhax v1.2 was [https://github.com/yellows8/3ds_homemenuhax/releases released].

WinterMute: Remove bogus netbeans instructions

= Setup =
Install [https://devkitpro.org/ devkitARM]. If it's already installed, update it using sudo (dkp-)pacman -Syu. On Windows, there's a [https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases/latest graphical installer]. On Unix-like platforms such as Linux/macOS, there's [https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/latest pacman]..

==Windows==
* If you already use msys2 then you can follow the instructions at https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/latest to add the devkitPro repositories.

Otherwise

* [https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases/latest download the latest version of the graphical installer] from github and run it, following the instructions as you go.
* An Internet connection is required.
* Ensure at least "3DS Development" is ticked - you can also leave the other options ticked if you wish.
* Once the installer has finished, launch MSYS from:
** Windows 7 and earlier: Start -> All Programs -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 8 and 8.1: Right click on the Start screen and select 'All Apps'. You should find MSYS there.
** Windows 10 (pre-Anniversary Update): Start -> All Apps -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 10 (post-Anniversary Update): Start -> devkitPro -> MSYS

Alternatively starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Version 1607), the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)] may also be used to run the Linux version of devkitARM. Unless you have some particular need for WSL it's recommended that you stick to a more standard environment.

==Unix-like platforms==
Currently devkitPro provides precompiled versions of devkitARM for the following Unix-like platforms: Linux (x86_64), macOS (x86_64). Note that Linux x86_64 binaries are usable under WSL.

* Follow the instructions to install pacman found at https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/latest
* run sudo (dkp-)pacman -S 3ds-dev to install the tools and libraries for 3ds development
* logout and login again to get the environment settings needed.

= Building the examples =
3DS examples are still being created; however, there are a growing number of examples available from the [https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples devkitPro/3ds-examples GitHub repository]. These are downloaded by the installer and can be found in $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds

These can be built from the command line.

To start a new homebrew project from the <code>bash</code> shell, simply type the following (replacing <code>'''~/projects/my3dsproject'''</code> with the place you would like your project to be stored, with <code>~</code> meaning your HOME directory):
cp -r $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds/templates/application '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''
cd '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''

The standard Makefile will use the folder as the name of the 3dsx that will be built. You can keep that behaviour or simply change the <code>TARGET := $(notdir $(CURDIR))</code> line in the Makefile to explicitly name your project.

To compile it, type <code>make</code> in the project directory.

==Running your code==
To run it on your 3DS, start the Homebrew Launcher, press Y to open the network loader, then on your PC type: <code>$DEVKITARM/bin/3dslink '''my3dsproject'''.3dsx</code>, replacing '''my3dsproject''' with the name of the 3dsx file you want to run.)

If all goes well, you'll soon see your application running on your 3DS.

= Troubleshooting =
'''I get the "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment." error.'''

Ensure you have the devkit-env package installed - (dkp-)pacman -Sl | grep devkit-env. Logout and login to get the enviroment settings.

For WSL users, you need to close the Bash shell, then reopen it for WSL to reload all of the variables from a clean state.

As of this writing, the latest firmware is '''[[11.9.0-42]]'''.

See [[Homebrew Exploits|here]] regarding running homebrew.

Software-based full system control exploits are known and publicly available for system versions up to and including 11.8.0-41, while [[Bootloader#Non-NAND_FIRM_boot|ntrboothax]] allows for ARM9 arbitrary code execution on any 3DS-family console regardless of system firmware version (or even its presence at all).

* Leave Configuration Mode to 'Automatic' and click 'Finish'.
* It will fail to build. Now edit Makefile and insert these two lines, adjusting for your devkitpro path, at the top:
<pre>export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM</pre>
* Right-click the project and go to Properties->Code Assistance and click C Compiler.
* In include directories enter
<pre>/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/include;/opt/devkitpro/libctru/include</pre>
adjusting again for your devkitPro path.
* Do the same for 'C++ Compiler'.
* Go to 'Run' and click 'Clean and Build Project'.
* Now right-click on the project and select Code Assistance->Reparse Project.

Now you can use Netbeans' code completion feature and build your project from the Run menu.

** Windows 8 and 8.1: Right click on the Start screen and select 'All Apps'. You should find MSYS there.
** Windows 10 (pre-Anniversary Update): Start -> All Apps -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 10 (post-Anniversary Update): Start -> devkitPro -> MSYS

Alternatively starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Version 1607), the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)] may also be used to run the Linux version of devkitARM. Unless you have some particular need for WSL it's recommended that you stick to a more standard environment.

==Unix-like platforms==
Currently devkitPro provides precompiled versions of devkitARM for the following Unix-like platforms: Linux (x86_64), macOS (x86_64). Note that Linux x86_64 binaries are usable under WSL.

* Follow the instructions to install pacman found at https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/latest
* run sudo (dkp-)pacman -S 3ds-dev to install the tools and libraries for 3ds development
* logout and login again to get the environment settings needed.

= Building the examples =
3DS examples are still being created; however, there are a growing number of examples available from the [https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples devkitPro/3ds-examples GitHub repository]. These are downloaded by the installer and can be found in $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds

These can be built from the command line.

To start a new homebrew project from the <code>bash</code> shell, simply type the following (replacing <code>'''~/projects/my3dsproject'''</code> with the place you would like your project to be stored, with <code>~</code> meaning your HOME directory):
cp -r $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds/templates/application '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''
cd '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''

The standard Makefile will use the folder as the name of the 3dsx that will be built. You can keep that behaviour or simply change the <code>TARGET := $(notdir $(CURDIR))</code> line in the Makefile to explicitly name your project.

To compile it, type <code>make</code> in the project directory.

==Running your code==
To run it on your 3DS, start the Homebrew Launcher, press Y to open the network loader, then on your PC type: <code>$DEVKITARM/bin/3dslink '''my3dsproject'''.3dsx</code>, replacing '''my3dsproject''' with the name of the 3dsx file you want to run.)

If all goes well, you'll soon see your application running on your 3DS.

==Building the examples on Linux with Netbeans==
* Go to File->New Project...
* Select C/C++ Project with existing code
* Navigate to the examples directory and select the folder for the project you want to build; eg. /home/vtsingaras/3ds/examples/app_launch
* Leave Configuration Mode to 'Automatic' and click 'Finish'.
* It will fail to build. Now edit Makefile and insert these two lines, adjusting for your devkitpro path, at the top:
<pre>export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM</pre>
* Right-click the project and go to Properties->Code Assistance and click C Compiler.
* In include directories enter
<pre>/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/include;/opt/devkitpro/libctru/include</pre>
adjusting again for your devkitPro path.
* Do the same for 'C++ Compiler'.
* Go to 'Run' and click 'Clean and Build Project'.
* Now right-click on the project and select Code Assistance->Reparse Project.

Now you can use Netbeans' code completion feature and build your project from the Run menu.

= Troubleshooting =
'''I get the "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment." error.'''

Ensure you have the devkit-env package installed - (dkp-)pacman -Sl | grep devkit-env. Logout and login to get the enviroment settings.

For WSL users, you need to close the Bash shell, then reopen it for WSL to reload all of the variables from a clean state.

** On Windows, there's a [https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases/latest graphical installer].
** On Unix-like platforms such as Linux/macOS, there's a [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devkitPro/installer/master/perl/devkitARMupdate.pl Perl script]. Make sure you also select libctru and the 3ds examples when installing.
* Depending on the kind of homebrew you want to develop, you may be interested in installing and using additional libraries and tools which don't ship alongside devkitARM/libctru. A list of them can be found in [[Homebrew Libraries and Tools]].

==Windows==
devkitPro provides Win32-native precompiled versions of devkitARM which can be run directly on Windows.
* [https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases/latest download the latest version of the graphical installer] from SourceForge and run it, following the instructions as you go.
* An Internet connection is required.
* You will want to make sure devkitARM is selected during the installation process to develop for the 3DS (and also the DS and GBA) - you can also install devkitPPC (for GameCube/Wii development) and devkitPSP (for PlayStation Portable development) if you wish.
* Once the installer has finished, launch MSYS from:
** Windows 7 and earlier: Start -> All Programs -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 8 and 8.1: Right click on the Start screen and select 'All Apps'. You should find MSYS there.
** Windows 10 (pre-Anniversary Update): Start -> All Apps -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 10 (post-Anniversary Update): Start -> devkitPro -> MSYS

Alternatively starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Version 1607), the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)] may also be used to run the Linux version of devkitARM. Unless you have some particular need for WSL it's recommended that you stick to a more standard environment.

==Unix-like platforms==
Currently devkitPro provides precompiled versions of devkitARM for the following Unix-like platforms: Linux (x86/x64), macOS (universal binary). Note that Linux x64 binaries are usable under WSL.

* First, you need to install curl so the installer can download the devkitARM packages, and you should also install Git - you'll need it to update libctru or share your code on GitHub, among many other things. If you are running Linux, you'll also need wget; it comes preinstalled on most distributions, but not all.

* Find your way into a shell (eg. by opening a Terminal window), and follow the instructions for your OS:
** Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Ubuntu on WSL: <code>sudo apt-get install git curl</code>
** Fedora/CentOS/RHEL: <code>sudo yum install git curl</code>
** openSUSE: <code>sudo zypper install git curl</code>
** Arch Linux/ALWSL: <code>sudo pacman -S git curl wget</code>
** macOS: Download Git from [http://git-scm.com/download/mac] and install it. Curl is included with the OS.

* Next, we need to download, make executable and run the devkitARM updater (don't worry, the updater is also the installer.)
<pre>
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devkitPro/installer/master/perl/devkitARMupdate.pl -o devkitARMupdate.pl
chmod +x ./devkitARMupdate.pl
sudo ./devkitARMupdate.pl /opt/devkitpro
</pre>

* Finally, we need to tell your shell where to find the devkitARM binaries.
<pre>
echo "export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

= Building the examples =
3DS examples are still being created; however, there are a growing number of examples available from the [https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples devkitPro/3ds-examples GitHub repository].
There are now too many to list here in detail, so go ahead and browse them.

* To download these, if you installed Git (as you will have if you followed the above instructions), simply type <code>git clone https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples.git</code> into your shell in the directory you wish to store the 3ds-examples folder in.

These can be built from the command line.

To start a new homebrew project from the <code>bash</code> shell, simply type the following (replacing <code>'''~/projects/my3dsproject'''</code> with the place you would like your project to be stored, with <code>~</code> meaning your HOME directory):
cp -r $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds/templates/application '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''
cd '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''

The standard Makefile will use the folder as the name of the 3dsx that will be built. You can keep that behaviour or simply change the <code>TARGET := $(notdir $(CURDIR))</code> line in the Makefile to explicitly name your project.

To compile it, type <code>make</code> in the project directory.

==Running your code==
To run it on your 3DS, start the Homebrew Launcher, press Y to open the network loader, then on your PC type: <code>$DEVKITARM/bin/3dslink '''my3dsproject'''.3dsx</code>, replacing '''my3dsproject''' with the name of the 3dsx file you want to run.)

If all goes well, you'll soon see your application running on your 3DS.

==Building the examples on Linux with Netbeans==
* Go to File->New Project...
* Select C/C++ Project with existing code
* Navigate to the examples directory and select the folder for the project you want to build; eg. /home/vtsingaras/3ds/examples/app_launch
* Leave Configuration Mode to 'Automatic' and click 'Finish'.
* It will fail to build. Now edit Makefile and insert these two lines, adjusting for your devkitpro path, at the top:
<pre>export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM</pre>
* Right-click the project and go to Properties->Code Assistance and click C Compiler.
* In include directories enter
<pre>/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/include;/opt/devkitpro/libctru/include</pre>
adjusting again for your devkitPro path.
* Do the same for 'C++ Compiler'.
* Go to 'Run' and click 'Clean and Build Project'.
* Now right-click on the project and select Code Assistance->Reparse Project.

Now you can use Netbeans' code completion feature and build your project from the Run menu.

= Troubleshooting =
'''I get the "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment." error.'''

Use the following command before installing [http://askubuntu.com/questions/573070/problem-setting-up-environment-for-make-command-execution]:
sudo chown $USER /opt/devkitpro/ -R
echo "export DEVKITPRO=\"/opt/devkitpro/\"" >> ~/.profile
echo "export DEVKITARM=\"\${DEVKITPRO}/devkitARM/\"" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

For WSL users, you need to close the Bash shell, then reopen it for WSL to reload all of the variables from a clean state.

When bit31 is set, this register essentially becomes locked and doesn't change when written to. However if bit26 is "set", keyslot-selection is cued to be handled when bit31 is cleared.

Clearing bit31 while the AES engine is doing crypto will result in the AES engine stopping crypto, once it finishes processing the current block.

Read/Write FIFO counts and the MAC status can never be set by writing to AES_CNT, they are read-only.

Changing the input word order triggers the key/keyX/keyY FIFOs to be flushed.

== AES_MACEXTRABLKCNT ==
(CCM-MAC extra data length)>>4, i.e. the number of block of CCM-MAC extra data.

== AES_BLKCNT ==
(Data length)>>4, i.e. the number of blocks to process

== AES_WRFIFO/AES_RDFIFO ==
The AES engine can accept up to 64 bytes of input data (16 32-bit words) and can hold up to 64 bytes of output data at a time (for a total of 128 bytes of buffered data). Bits 12-13 and 14-15 in AES_CNT configure the DMA request for the relevant FIFO (see above).

The input data for the AES crypto operation is written to AES_WRFIFO, the output data is read from AES_RDFIFO.

Reading from AES_RDFIFO when there's no data available in the RDFIFO will result in reading the last word that was in the RDFIFO.

When triggering either RDFIFO or WRFIFO to be flushed, the AES Engine does not clear either buffer.

Word order and endianness can be changed between each read/write to these FIFOs. However changing the word order when writing to WRFIFO can cause the word to be written outside the current block, leaving uninitialized data in its place. Attempts to change endianness or word order are not honored when reading from RDFIFO when no more data is available.

| Keyslot
|-

| Hardware key-generator type: 0 = 3DS, 1 = DSi.

|}

Bit6 is only used when keyslots >=4 are used, value1 has the same affect as doing key-init with the TWL keyslots. Bit6 is only checked when a keyY was completely written, for when the final-normalkey needs updated via the key-generator. Changing bit6 has no affect on the generated normalkey when writing to this bit immediately after writing the last keyY word.

== AES_CTR ==
This register specifies the counter (CTR mode), nonce (CCM mode) or the initialization vector (CBC mode) depending on the mode of operation.
For CBC and CTR mode this register takes up the full 16 bytes, but for CCM mode the nonce is only the first 12 bytes.
The AES engine will automatically increment the counter up to the maximum BLKCNT, after which point it must be manually incremented and set again.

== AES_MAC ==
This register specifies the message authentication code (MAC) for use in CCM mode.

== AES_KEY0/1/2/3 ==
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
! Byte
! Description
|-
| 0-15
| Normalkey
|-
| 16-31
| KeyX
|-
| 32-47
| KeyY
|-}

These registers are the same as they were on TWL, and are likely preserved for compatibility reasons. The keyslot is updated immediately after *any* data(u8/u32/...) is written here, which was used on DSi to [[3DS_System_Flaws|break]] the key-generator.

== Endianness and word order ==
When writing to the AES_CTR, AES_MAC or AES_KEY0/1/2/3 register, the hardware will process the written data according to the current input endianness specified in AES_CNT. This means that the byte ordering within each word is endian swapped accordingly but the word ordering of the register remains little endian.

== CCM mode pitfall ==
Non-standard AES-CCM behaviour is observed on [[APT:Wrap|Wrap]]/[[APT:Unwrap|Unwrap]] function. According to [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3610 RFC 3610], the first block B_0 for authentication should be generated from the message length and some other parameters. Using these function, it seems that the message length is aligned up to 16 when generating B_0. This makes the generated MAC not compliant with the standard when (inputsize-noncesize)%16!=0. It is very likely that this non-standard behaviour happens on the hardware level, but not confirmed yet.

== Keyslot ranges ==
This is approximately a table of what is set by bootrom before booting into FIRM. Often it appears that keyslots in groups of 4 have the same keyX, and sometimes also same keyY set.

Keyslot pairs (0x24, 0x28) and (0x38, 0x3C) shares the same normal-key, while at the same time having different keyX's. This suggests they were set to same normal-key by bootrom.

== Keyslots ==
There are 0x40 keyslots, each of which stores three keys called keyX, keyY and normalkey. All keys can be set explicitly, but the normalkey can optionally be generated using a hardware key generator instead (see [[#Hardware_key_generator|below]]). There is no way to read the contents of a keyslot.

=== Updating keydata ===
The contents of the keyslot specified in AES_KEYCNT can be updated by consecutively writing four words to AES_KEYXFIFO (keyX), AES_KEYYFIFO(keyY), or AES_KEYFIFO (normalkey).

After writing to a keyslot, the keyslot must be selected again(write AES_KEYSEL + set AES_CNT bit26), even when writing to the same keyslot. Writing the last word to a key FIFO immediately after selecting a keyslot will not affect the keyslot keydata that gets used at that time, the new keydata will not get used until the keyslot gets selected again.

Writing to the key FIFOs with byte writes results in the AES engine converting the byte to a word for setting the key word, with this: word = (byteval) | (byteval<<8) | (byteval<<16) | (byteval<<24). The result is the same regardless of which FIFO register byte was written to.

The TWL keyslots 0x00-0x03 can be set directly by writing to the AES_KEY0-AES_KEY3 registers.

The key FIFOs can be written simultaneously. For example, executing the following will result in the keyX and keyY being set to all-zero(unknown for normalkey): memset(0x10009100, 0, 0x100);

Each key FIFO has a 0x10-byte tmp-buffer for storing the words written to that FIFO. Once the last word is written to a key FIFO, the filled tmp-buffer is then written to the key-data for the keyslot selected by AES_KEYCNT at the time the last word was written.

=== Hardware key generator ===
A dedicated hardware key generator can be used to generate a keyslot's normal-key from its keyX and keyY. The hardware key generator is triggered by writing the keyY, which is the only way to trigger it with the 3DS keyslots.

The algorithm for generating the normal-key from keyX and keyY is as follows, in big-endian 128-bit unsigned wraparound arithmetic:

{| class="wikitable" border="1"
! Mode
! Formula
|-
| 3DS
| NormalKey = (((KeyX ROL 2) XOR KeyY) + C1) ROR 41
|-
| DSi
| NormalKey = ((KeyX XOR KeyY) + C2) ROL 42
|}

Unless noted otherwise, all keyslots on retail units use the hardware key generator.

=== FIRM-launch key clearing ===
Starting with [[9.0.0-20]] the Process9 FIRM-launch code now "clears" the following AES keyslots, with certain keydata by writing the normal-key: 0x15 and 0x18-0x20. These are the keyslots used by the New3DS [[FIRM]] arm9bin loader(minus keyslot 0x11), the New3DS Process9 does this too.

=== AES key-init ===
See [[Bootloader|here]] for how Boot9 initializes the AES keyslots.

For an issue with console-unique key-init, see [[OTP_Registers|here]].

Some of the Boot9 key-init appears to have a bug(?) when initializing a chunk of keyslots at once: normally it does <code>for(i=0; i<4; i++){... <setup_keyslot_keydata(keyslotbase+i, keydata)> ...}</code>, however in some cases it does that except with <code>(keyslotbase,</code> instead. This results in the keyslot specified by keyslotbase being initialized 4 times in a row, with the remaining 3 keyslots following keyslotbase being left uninitialized.

initialize_aeskeys() works as follows:
* Validates input, calls panic() on failure. conunique_dataptr and bootrom_dataptr are both input parameters for initialize_aeskeys().
* Calls crypto_initialize().
* Then it ''basically'': copies 0x1C-bytes from conunique_dataptr to tmpbuf+0(sp+12), and copies data from bootrom_dataptr with size 0x40-0x1C to tmpbuf+0x1C(conunique_dataptr and bootrom_dataptr are updated afterwards).
* The 0x40-byte tmpbuf is hashed with SHA256.
* Keyslot 0x3F is then initialized using the above hash: keyX = first 0x10-bytes of the hash, keyY = last 0x10-bytes of the hash.
* Then with each console-unique key-init code-block: IV is loaded from bootrom_dataptr(which is updated afterwards), then the 0x40-bytes from bootrom_dataptr is encrypted with AES-CBC. The output is then used as 4 keyXs for initializing keyslots. How bootrom_dataptr is updated if at all varies per code-block. Hashing similar to the code at the start of this function is also run(when the remaining size for conunique_dataptr is non-zero), but the output hash isn't used(this code is also slightly different for one code-block).
* Once finished with that, the non-console-unique keyslots are initialized. This is done with keydata loaded directly from bootrom_dataptr.
* The last initialized keyslot is 0x3F, via normalkey. The keydata for this is copied to 0xFFF00618. This is for restoring the keydata when non-NAND FIRM boot ''fails'', since those use keyslot 0x3F with other keydata.
* Lastly it clears the 0x40-bytes at tmpbuf with the u32 loaded from bootrom_dataptr(the word following the above keyslot 0x3F keydata), then returns.

The keyslots are initialized with the same order of keyslots+keydata_type listed below:

Console-unique keydata, after the initialization for the key-generation keyslot(0x3F):
0x04..0x07 keyX
0x08..0x0B keyX
0x0C..0x0F keyX
0x10 keyX
0x14..0x17 keyX
0x18..0x1B keyX
0x1C..0x1F keyX
0x20..0x23 keyX
0x24 keyX
0x28..0x2B keyX

0x2C..0x2F keyX
0x30..0x33 keyX
0x34..0x37 keyX
0x38..0x3B keyX
0x3C..0x3F keyX

WinterMute: Don't set path in .bashrc. devkitARM is not the only arm-none-eabi toolchain someone could potentially use. This is why the Makefiles use the other variable to set path

= Setup =
* Install [http://devkitpro.org/ devkitARM]. If it's already installed, update it.
** On Windows, there's a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/ graphical installer].
** On Unix-like platforms such as Linux/macOS, there's a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/devkitARMupdate.pl/download Perl script]. Make sure you also select libctru and the 3ds examples when installing.
* Depending on the kind of homebrew you want to develop, you may be interested in installing and using additional libraries and tools which don't ship alongside devkitARM/libctru. A list of them can be found in [[Homebrew Libraries and Tools]].

==Windows==
devkitPro provides Win32-native precompiled versions of devkitARM which can be run directly on Windows.
* [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/ download the latest version of the graphical installer] from SourceForge and run it, following the instructions as you go.
* An Internet connection is required.
* You will want to make sure devkitARM is selected during the installation process to develop for the 3DS (and also the DS and GBA) - you can also install devkitPPC (for GameCube/Wii development) and devkitPSP (for PlayStation Portable development) if you wish.
* Once the installer has finished, launch MSYS from:
** Windows 7 and earlier: Start -> All Programs -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 8 and 8.1: Right click on the Start screen and select 'All Apps'. You should find MSYS there.
** Windows 10 (pre-Anniversary Update): Start -> All Apps -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 10 (post-Anniversary Update): Start -> devkitPro -> MSYS

Alternatively starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Version 1607), the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)] may also be used to run the Linux version of devkitARM. Unless you have some particular need for WSL it's recommended that you stick to a more standard environment.

==Unix-like platforms==
Currently devkitPro provides precompiled versions of devkitARM for the following Unix-like platforms: Linux (x86/x64), macOS (universal binary). Note that Linux x64 binaries are usable under WSL.

* First, you need to install curl so the installer can download the devkitARM packages, and you should also install Git - you'll need it to update libctru or share your code on GitHub, among many other things. If you are running Linux, you'll also need wget; it comes preinstalled on most distributions, but not all.

* Find your way into a shell (eg. by opening a Terminal window), and follow the instructions for your OS:
** Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint/WSL: <code>sudo apt-get install git curl</code>
** Fedora/CentOS/RHEL: <code>sudo yum install git curl</code>
** openSUSE: <code>sudo zypper install git curl</code>
** Arch Linux: <code>sudo pacman -S git curl wget</code>
** macOS: Download Git from [http://git-scm.com/download/mac] and install it. Curl is included with the OS.

* Next, we need to download, make executable and run the devkitARM updater (don't worry, the updater is also the installer.)
<pre>
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devkitPro/installer/master/perl/devkitARMupdate.pl -o devkitARMupdate.pl
chmod +x ./devkitARMupdate.pl
sudo ./devkitARMupdate.pl /opt/devkitpro
</pre>

* Finally, we need to tell your shell where to find the devkitARM binaries.
<pre>
echo "export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

= Building the examples =
3DS examples are still being created; however, there are a growing number of examples available from the [https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples devkitPro/3ds-examples GitHub repository].
There are now too many to list here in detail, so go ahead and browse them.

* To download these, if you installed Git (as you will have if you followed the above instructions), simply type <code>git clone https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples.git</code> into your shell in the directory you wish to store the 3ds-examples folder in.

These can be built from the command line.

To start a new homebrew project from the <code>bash</code> shell, simply type the following (replacing <code>'''~/projects/my3dsproject'''</code> with the place you would like your project to be stored, with <code>~</code> meaning your HOME directory):
cp -r $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds/templates/application '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''
cd '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''

The standard Makefile will use the folder as the name of the 3dsx that will be built. You can keep that behaviour or simply change the <code>TARGET := $(notdir $(CURDIR))</code> line in the Makefile to explicitly name your project.

To compile it, type <code>make</code> in the project directory.

==Running your code==
To run it on your 3DS, start the Homebrew Launcher, press Y to open the network loader, then on your PC type: <code>$DEVKITARM/bin/3dslink '''my3dsproject'''.3dsx</code>, replacing '''my3dsproject''' with the name of the 3dsx file you want to run.)

If all goes well, you'll soon see your application running on your 3DS.

==Building the examples on Linux with Netbeans==
* Go to File->New Project...
* Select C/C++ Project with existing code
* Navigate to the examples directory and select the folder for the project you want to build; eg. /home/vtsingaras/3ds/examples/app_launch
* Leave Configuration Mode to 'Automatic' and click 'Finish'.
* It will fail to build. Now edit Makefile and insert these two lines, adjusting for your devkitpro path, at the top:
<pre>export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM</pre>
* Right-click the project and go to Properties->Code Assistance and click C Compiler.
* In include directories enter
<pre>/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/include;/opt/devkitpro/libctru/include</pre>
adjusting again for your devkitPro path.
* Do the same for 'C++ Compiler'.
* Go to 'Run' and click 'Clean and Build Project'.
* Now right-click on the project and select Code Assistance->Reparse Project.

Now you can use Netbeans' code completion feature and build your project from the Run menu.

= Building homebrew for distribution =
To build your homebrew, open a Bash shell as described above, browse to the folder of the homebrew you wish to compile, and run <code>make</code>.

* This will build a .elf file and a .3dsx file (the homebrew executable itself).
** The Homebrew Launcher can only run homebrew in the 3DSX format.

* To build a CIA file, you need to use makerom on it along with a RSF file describing the application:
makerom -f cia -o [.cia file] -rsf [RSF file] -target t -exefslogo -elf [ELF file] -icon [icon file] -banner [banner file]

= Troubleshooting =
'''I get the "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment." error.'''

Use the following command before installing [http://askubuntu.com/questions/573070/problem-setting-up-environment-for-make-command-execution]:
sudo chown $USER /opt/devkitpro/ -R
echo "export DEVKITPRO=\"/opt/devkitpro/\"" >> ~/.profile
echo "export DEVKITARM=\"\${DEVKITPRO}/devkitARM/\"" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

For WSL users, you need to close the Bash shell, then reopen it for WSL to reload all of the variables from a clean state.

echo "export DEVKITPRO=\"/opt/devkitpro/\"" >> ~/.profile
echo "export DEVKITARM=\"\${DEVKITPRO}/devkitARM/\"" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

For WSL users, you need to close the Bash shell, then reopen it for WSL to reload all of the variables from a clean state.

Setting up Development Environment

2016-12-13T21:07:02Z

WinterMute:

= Setup =
* Install [http://devkitpro.org/ devkitARM]. If it's already installed, update it.
** On Windows, there's a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/ graphical installer].
** On Unix-like platforms such as Linux/macOS, there's a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/devkitARMupdate.pl/download Perl script]. Make sure you also select libctru and the 3ds examples when installing.
* Depending on the kind of homebrew you want to develop, you may be interested in installing and using additional libraries and tools which don't ship alongside devkitARM/libctru. A list of them can be found in [[Homebrew Libraries and Tools]].

==Windows==
devkitPro provides Win32-native precompiled versions of devkitARM which can be run directly on Windows.
* [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/ download the latest version of the graphical installer] from SourceForge and run it, following the instructions as you go.
* An Internet connection is required.
* You will want to make sure devkitARM is selected during the installation process to develop for the 3DS (and also the DS and GBA) - you can also install devkitPPC (for GameCube/Wii development) and devkitPSP (for PlayStation Portable development) if you wish.
* Once the installer has finished, launch MSYS from:
** Windows 7 and earlier: Start -> All Programs -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 8 and 8.1: Right click on the Start screen and select 'All Apps'. You should find MSYS there.
** Windows 10 (pre-Anniversary Update): Start -> All Apps -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 10 (post-Anniversary Update): Start -> devkitPro -> MSYS

Alternatively starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Version 1607), the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)] may also be used to run the Linux version of devkitARM. Unless you have some particular need for WSL it's recommended that you stick to a more standard environment.

==Unix-like platforms==
Currently devkitPro provides precompiled versions of devkitARM for the following Unix-like platforms: Linux (x86/x64), macOS (universal binary). Note that Linux x64 binaries are usable under WSL.

* First, you need to install curl so the installer can download the devkitARM packages, and you should also install Git - you'll need it to update libctru or share your code on GitHub, among many other things.

* Find your way into a shell (eg. by opening a Terminal window), and follow the instructions for your OS:
** Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint/WSL: <code>sudo apt-get install git curl</code>
** Fedora/CentOS/RHEL: <code>sudo yum install git curl</code>
** openSUSE: <code>sudo zypper install git curl</code>
** macOS: Download Git from [http://git-scm.com/download/mac] and install it. Curl is included with the OS.

* Next, we need to download, make executable and run the devkitARM updater (don't worry, the updater is also the installer.)
<pre>
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devkitPro/installer/master/perl/devkitARMupdate.pl -o devkitARMupdate.pl
chmod +x ./devkitARMupdate.pl
sudo ./devkitARMupdate.pl /opt/devkitpro
</pre>

* Finally, we need to tell your shell where to find the devkitARM binaries.
<pre>
echo "export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

= Building the examples =
3DS examples are still being created; however, there are a growing number of examples available from the [https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples devkitPro/3ds-examples GitHub repository].
There are now too many to list here in detail, so go ahead and browse them.

* To download these, if you installed Git (as you will have if you followed the above instructions), simply type <code>git clone https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples.git</code> into your shell in the directory you wish to store the 3ds-examples folder in.

These can be built from the command line.

To start a new homebrew project from the <code>bash</code> shell, simply type the following (replacing <code>'''~/projects/my3dsproject'''</code> with the place you would like your project to be stored, with <code>~</code> meaning your HOME directory):
cp -r $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds/templates/application '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''
cd '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''

The standard Makefile will use the folder as the name of the 3dsx that will be built. You can keep that behaviour or simply change the <code>TARGET := $(notdir $(CURDIR))</code> line in the Makefile to explicitly name your project.

To compile it, type <code>make</code> in the project directory.

==Running your code==
To run it on your 3DS, start the Homebrew Launcher, press Y to open the network loader, then on your PC type: <code>$DEVKITARM/bin/3dslink '''my3dsproject'''.3dsx</code>, replacing '''my3dsproject''' with the name of the 3dsx file you want to run.)
</code>.

If all goes well, you'll soon see your application running on your 3DS.

==Building the examples on Linux with Netbeans==
* Go to File->New Project...
* Select C/C++ Project with existing code
* Navigate to the examples directory and select the folder for the project you want to build; eg. /home/vtsingaras/3ds/examples/app_launch
* Leave Configuration Mode to 'Automatic' and click 'Finish'.
* It will fail to build. Now edit Makefile and insert these two lines, adjusting for your devkitpro path, at the top:
<pre>export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM</pre>
* Right-click the project and go to Properties->Code Assistance and click C Compiler.
* In include directories enter
<pre>/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/include;/opt/devkitpro/libctru/include</pre>
adjusting again for your devkitPro path.
* Do the same for 'C++ Compiler'.
* Go to 'Run' and click 'Clean and Build Project'.
* Now right-click on the project and select Code Assistance->Reparse Project.

Now you can use Netbeans' code completion feature and build your project from the Run menu.

= Building homebrew for distribution =
To build your homebrew, open a Bash shell as described above, browse to the folder of the homebrew you wish to compile, and run <code>make</code>.

* This will build a .elf file and a .3dsx file (the homebrew executable itself).
** The Homebrew Launcher can only run homebrew in the 3DSX format.

* To build a CIA file, you need to use makerom on it along with a RSF file describing the application:
makerom -f cia -o [.cia file] -rsf [RSF file] -target t -exefslogo -elf [ELF file] -icon [icon file] -banner [banner file]

= Troubleshooting =
'''I get the "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment." error.'''

Use the following command before installing [http://askubuntu.com/questions/573070/problem-setting-up-environment-for-make-command-execution]:
sudo chown $USER /opt/devkitpro/ -R
echo "export DEVKITPRO="/opt/devkitpro/" >> ~/.profile
echo "export DEVKITARM="/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

For WSL users, you need to close the Bash shell, then reopen it for WSL to reload all of the variables from a clean state.

To start a new homebrew project from the <code>bash</code> shell, simply type the following (replacing <code>'''~/projects/my3dsproject'''</code> with the place you would like your project to be stored, with <code>~</code> meaning your HOME directory):
cp -r $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds/templates/application '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''
cd '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''

The standard Makefile will use the folder as the name of the 3dsx that will be built. You can keep that behaviour or simply change the <code>TARGET := $(notdir $(CURDIR))</code> line in the Makefile to explicitly name your project.

To compile it, type <code>make</code> in the project directory.
To run it on your 3DS, start the Homebrew Launcher, press Y to open the network loader, then on your PC type: <code>$DEVKITARM/bin/3dslink '''my3dsproject'''.3dsx</code>, replacing '''my3dsproject''' with the name of the 3dsx file you want to run.)
</code>.

If all goes well, you'll soon see your application running on your 3DS.

==Building the examples on Linux with Netbeans==
* Go to File->New Project...
* Select C/C++ Project with existing code
* Navigate to the examples directory and select the folder for the project you want to build; eg. /home/vtsingaras/3ds/examples/app_launch
* Leave Configuration Mode to 'Automatic' and click 'Finish'.
* It will fail to build. Now edit Makefile and insert these two lines, adjusting for your devkitpro path, at the top:
<pre>export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM</pre>
* Right-click the project and go to Properties->Code Assistance and click C Compiler.
* In include directories enter
<pre>/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/include;/opt/devkitpro/libctru/include</pre>
adjusting again for your devkitPro path.
* Do the same for 'C++ Compiler'.
* Go to 'Run' and click 'Clean and Build Project'.
* Now right-click on the project and select Code Assistance->Reparse Project.

Now you can use Netbeans' code completion feature and build your project from the Run menu.

= Building homebrew for distribution =
To build your homebrew, open a Bash shell as described above, browse to the folder of the homebrew you wish to compile, and run <code>make</code>.

* This will build a .elf file and a .3dsx file (the homebrew executable itself) together with a .smdh file (the icon).
** The Homebrew Launcher can only run homebrew in the 3DSX format, and can only display SMDH icons.

= Troubleshooting =
'''I get the "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment." error.'''

Use the following command before installing [http://askubuntu.com/questions/573070/problem-setting-up-environment-for-make-command-execution]:
sudo chown $USER /opt/devkitpro/ -R
echo "export DEVKITPRO="/opt/devkitpro/" >> ~/.profile
echo "export DEVKITARM="/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

For WSL users, you need to close the Bash shell, then reopen it for WSL to reload all of the variables from a clean state.

Setting up Development Environment

2016-12-13T13:37:54Z

WinterMute: /* Building homebrew for distribution */

= Setup =
* Install [http://devkitpro.org/ devkitARM]. If it's already installed, update it.
** On Windows, there's a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/ graphical installer].
** On Unix-like platforms such as Linux/macOS, there's a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/devkitARMupdate.pl/download Perl script]. Make sure you also select libctru and the 3ds examples when installing.
* Depending on the kind of homebrew you want to develop, you may be interested in installing and using additional libraries and tools which don't ship alongside devkitARM/libctru. A list of them can be found in [[Homebrew Libraries and Tools]].

==Windows==
devkitPro provides Win32-native precompiled versions of devkitARM which can be run directly on Windows.
* [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/ download the latest version of the graphical installer] from SourceForge and run it, following the instructions as you go.
* An Internet connection is required.
* You will want to make sure devkitARM is selected during the installation process to develop for the 3DS (and also the DS and GBA) - you can also install devkitPPC (for GameCube/Wii development) and devkitPSP (for PlayStation Portable development) if you wish.
* Once the installer has finished, launch MSYS from:
** Windows 7 and earlier: Start -> All Programs -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 8 and 8.1: Right click on the Start screen and select 'All Apps'. You should find MSYS there.
** Windows 10 (pre-Anniversary Update): Start -> All Apps -> devkitPro -> MSYS
** Windows 10 (post-Anniversary Update): Start -> devkitPro -> MSYS

Alternatively starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Version 1607), the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)] may also be used to run the Linux version of devkitARM. Due to the fact that GCC was originally designed for Unix-like platforms its use may yield performance and convenience improvements. For instructions on how to set up devkitARM under WSL refer to the ''Unix-like platforms'' section. For WSL installation instructions, see the linked MSDN page.

==Unix-like platforms==
Currently devkitPro provides precompiled versions of devkitARM for the following Unix-like platforms: Linux (x86/x64), macOS (universal binary). Note that Linux x64 binaries are usable under WSL.

* First, you need to install curl so the installer can download the devkitARM packages, and you should also install Git - you'll need it to update ctrulib or share your code on GitHub, among many other things.

* Find your way into a shell (eg. by opening a Terminal window), and follow the instructions for your OS:
** Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint/WSL: <code>sudo apt-get install git curl</code>
** Fedora/CentOS/RHEL: <code>sudo yum install git curl</code>
** openSUSE: <code>sudo zypper install git curl</code>
** macOS: Download Git from [http://git-scm.com/download/mac] and install it. Curl is included with the OS.

* Next, we need to download, make executable and run the devkitARM updater (don't worry, the updater is also the installer.)
<pre>
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devkitPro/installer/master/perl/devkitARMupdate.pl -o devkitARMupdate.pl
chmod +x ./devkitARMupdate.pl
sudo ./devkitARMupdate.pl /opt/devkitpro
</pre>

* Finally, we need to tell your shell where to find the devkitARM binaries.
<pre>
echo "export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

= Building the examples =
3DS examples are still being created; however, there are a growing number of examples available from the [https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples devkitPro/3ds-examples GitHub repository].
There are now too many to list here in detail, so go ahead and browse them.

* To download these, if you installed Git (as you will have if you followed the above instructions), simply type <code>git clone https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples.git</code> into your shell in the directory you wish to store the 3ds-examples folder in.
** To overwrite the (almost certainly outdated) examples installed by the devkitPro updater, type <code>git clone https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples.git $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds</code>.

These can be built from the command line.

To start a new homebrew project from the <code>bash</code> shell, simply type the following (replacing <code>'''~/projects/my3dsproject'''</code> with the place you would like your project to be stored, with <code>~</code> meaning your HOME directory):
cp -r $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds/templates/application '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''
cd '''~/projects/my3dsproject'''

To compile it, type <code>make</code> in the project directory.
To run it on your 3DS, start the Homebrew Launcher, press Y to open the network loader, then on your PC type: <code>$DEVKITARM/bin/3dslink -a '''192.168.X.X''' '''my3dsproject'''.3dsx</code>, replacing '''192.168.X.X''' with your 3DS's IP address (displayed in the network loader screen) and '''my3dsproject''' with the name of the folder your project is in (ie. the folder you have the source folder in and the README file.)
Don't type the full path, just the last segment - eg. for <code>C:\a\b\'''verygood3dsapp'''</code>, you would type <code>'''verygood3dsapp'''.3dsx</code>.

If all goes well, you'll soon see your application running on your 3DS.

==Building the examples on Linux with Netbeans==
* Go to File->New Project...
* Select C/C++ Project with existing code
* Navigate to the examples directory and select the folder for the project you want to build; eg. /home/vtsingaras/3ds/examples/app_launch
* Leave Configuration Mode to 'Automatic' and click 'Finish'.
* It will fail to build. Now edit Makefile and insert these two lines, adjusting for your devkitpro path, at the top:
<pre>export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM</pre>
* Right-click the project and go to Properties->Code Assistance and click C Compiler.
* In include directories enter
<pre>/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/include;/opt/devkitpro/ctrulib/libctru/include</pre>
adjusting again for your devkitPro path.
* Do the same for 'C++ Compiler'.
* Go to 'Run' and click 'Clean and Build Project'.
* Now right-click on the project and select Code Assistance->Reparse Project.

Now you can use Netbeans' code completion feature and build your project from the Run menu.

= Building homebrew for distribution =

* This will build a .elf file and a .3dsx file (the homebrew executable itself) together with a .smdh file (the icon).
** The Homebrew Launcher can only run homebrew in the 3DSX format, and can only display SMDH icons.

= Troubleshooting =
'''I get the "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment." error.'''

Use the following command before installing [http://askubuntu.com/questions/573070/problem-setting-up-environment-for-make-command-execution]:
sudo chown $USER /opt/devkitpro/ -R
echo "export DEVKITPRO="/opt/devkitpro/" >> ~/.profile
echo "export DEVKITARM="/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
For WSL users, you need to close the Bash shell, then reopen it for WSL to reload all of the variables from a clean state.

'''Unable to load source code when debugging using the provided GDB. It says, "No source files available".'''

When after loading your ELF file, make sure to set a breakpoint at main(), then continue. The GDB will refresh with your source code.

Setting up Development Environment

WinterMute: add installer links

= Setup =
* Install [http://devkitpro.org/ devkitARM]. If it's already installed, update it. On Windows there's a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/ GUI installer]. On Linux/Mac there's a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/devkitARMupdate.pl/download perl-script]. Make sure you also select libctru and the 3ds examples when installing.
* Depending on the kind of homebrew you want to develop, you may be interested in installing and using additional libraries and tools which don't ship alongside devkitARM/libctru. A list of them can be found in [[Homebrew Libraries and Tools]].

==Linux==
* First get the devkitARM updater Perl script for Linux.
* Run it with superuser privileges if your /opt directory is not marked world read-writeable.

<pre>sudo apt-get install git curl
curl -L http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/Automated%20Installer/devkitARMupdate.pl/download -o devkitARMupdate.pl
chmod +x ./devkitARMupdate.pl
sudo ./devkitARMupdate.pl /opt/devkitpro
echo "export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$DEVKITARM/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
</pre>

= Building the examples =
3DS examples are still being created. Currently there are a few examples distributed by the devkitPro supplied updaters - these can be found in $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds and the [https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples 3ds examples repository]. There are now too many to list here in detail.

These can be built from the command line - on Windows devkitPro supply msys which can be started using the msys shortcut in the devkitPro Start Menu entry or by browsing to <installdir>\devkitPro\msys and double clicking the msys.bat file found there. This will launch a bash shell. On Linux/OSX you can just open your system supplied shell.

To start a new homebrew project from here simply type
<pre>cp -r $DEVKITPRO/examples/3ds/templates/application ~/projects/my3dsproject
cd ~/projects/my3dsproject
make
</pre> To run it on your 3DS start up The Homebrew Launcher, press the Y button to open the netloader then
<pre>$DEVKITARM/bin/3dslink my3dsproject.3dsx</pre>

Hopefully you'll see it boot on the 3DS.

Obviously you can add $DEVKITARM/bin to your PATH from the shell then simply run 3dslink as normal. You shouldn't add this permanently - it could potentially interfere with other tools.

==Building the examples on Linux with Netbeans==
* Go to File->New Project...
* Select C/C++ Project with existing code
* Navigate to the examples directory and select the folder for the project you want to build; eg. /home/vtsingaras/3ds/examples/app_launch
* Leave Configuration Mode to 'Automatic' and click 'Finish'.
* It will fail to build. Now edit Makefile and insert these two lines, adjusting for your devkitpro path, at the top:
<pre>export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro

* In include directories enter
<pre>/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/include;/opt/devkitpro/ctrulib/libctru/include</pre>
adjusting again for your devkitPro path.
* Do the same for 'C++ Compiler'.
* Go to 'Run' and click 'Clean and Build Project'.
* Now right-click on the project and select Code Assistance->Reparse Project.

Now you can use Netbeans' code completion feature and build your project from the Run menu.

= Building homebrew for distribution =
To build your homebrew open a terminal, browse to your homebrew's folder and run make.

* This will build a .elf file and a .3dsx file together with an icon. The icon and .3dsx file are the format required for the [[Homebrew Channel]].

* To build a Gateway-compatible .3ds file you need to strip the .elf file and use makerom on it (with the provided RSF file):
arm-none-eabi-strip [ELF file]
makerom -f cci -o [.3ds file] -rsf [RSF file] -target d -exefslogo -elf [ELF file] -icon [icon file] -banner [banner file]

Makerom

2015-12-15T16:09:52Z

WinterMute: spell devkitARM properly.

{{Infobox homebrew
| title = makerom
| type = pc utility
| author = [[User:3dsguy|3dsguy]]
| download = https://anonfiles.com/file/865643f366d17771aa907d467f00826f

| version = 0.13
}}

makerom is a tool which can be used to create [[NCCH]], [[NCSD|CCI]], and [[CIA]] files.

== Format Overviews ==
=== NCCH ===
The native format storing code binaries and data archives for the 3DS is [[NCCH]]. [[NCCH]] files are comprised of:
* code/exheader/plainregion (used for code execution) (plainregion just lists included SDK library add-ons)
* icon (app title text, icon, homemenu settings, see [[SMDH|here]]
* banner (cbmd + cwav, i.e. the upper screen banner/sound shown on the homemenu)
* logo (the splash screen displayed after an application is launched from the homemenu)
* romfs (read-only filesystem used to store resources)

Typical uses for NCCH files include:
* Executable image (code+exheader+icon+banner+logo+romfs)
* e-Manual archive (accessed from homemenu) (romfs)
* [[Download Play|DLP]] child CIA archive (accessed from application) (romfs)
* Update Data archive (romfs)
* Standalone data archive (romfs)
* DLC index archive (icon+romfs)
* DLC archive (romfs)

=== CCI ===
The native format for gamecard images is [[NCSD|CCI]] and is a NCCH container format. CCI files are limited to containing 8 NCCH files, and can contain NCCH files for applications titles only.
==== NCCH configuration for CCI ====

|}

=== CIA ===
The native format for packaging NCCH files for install is [[CIA]], which is also a NCCH container format. CIA files are limited to containing 65535 NCCH files and can be used to contain NCCH files for any title type. CIA files also contain '''signed''' data used by the 3DS for general title management and DRM. Installing custom CIA files on a 3DS which also uses eShop/SysUpdates is unwise as conflicts will likely occur.

==== Examples ====

General examples:

'''Create CXI'''
makerom -o sample.cxi -rsf sample.rsf -target t -elf sample.elf -icon sample.icn -banner sample.bnr -desc app:4

'''Create CFA'''
makerom -o sample.cfa -rsf sample.rsf -target t

'''Create CCI'''
makerom -f cci -o sample.cci -target t -i sample.cxi:0 -i sample.cfa:1

'''Create CIA'''
makerom -f cia -o sample.cia -target t -i sample.cxi:0:0 -i sample.cfa:1:1

Makerom supports building a NCCH file and including it automatically (as index 0) into a NCCH container:

'''Create CCI and CXI at the same time and include a CFA'''
makerom -f cci -o sample.cci -rsf sample.rsf -target t -elf sample.elf -icon sample.icn -banner sample.bnr -desc app:4 -i sample.cfa:1

'''Create CIA and CXI at the same time and include a CFA'''
makerom -f cia -o sample.cia -rsf sample.rsf -target t -elf sample.elf -icon sample.icn -banner sample.bnr -desc app:4 -i sample.cfa:1:1

Rebuilding CXI:
makerom -o rebuild.cxi -rsf rebuild.rsf -target t -code rebuild/code.bin -exheader rebuild/exheader.bin -icon rebuild/icon.bin -banner rebuild/banner.bin -romfs rebuild/romfs.bin

=== Creating RSF files ===
Inspired by Nintendo's format for their makerom, a yaml configuration file is required for creating NCCH files. CIA/CCI can be created without using a RSF file, but default settings will be used.

For CXI, RSF files can be used to specify permissions, and access control settings. Makerom can use default settings by use of the "-desc" option, which removes the requirement for specifying them in the RSF file.

Sample RSF to be used with "-desc": [https://gist.githubusercontent.com/3DSGuy/83e12e0ae3dcccb9827f/raw/sample0.rsf download] (link broken)

Sample RSF to be used without "-desc": [https://gist.githubusercontent.com/3DSGuy/83e12e0ae3dcccb9827f/raw/sample1.rsf download] (link broken)

=== Creating ELF files ===
devkitARM used in conjunction with [https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib ctrulib] can create ELF files compatible with makerom, provided they are linked with [https://gist.github.com/yellows8/6da7984a80a825b10294 this linker script], and striped.

ELF files that are created using the official SDK are also supported by makerom.

== Compiling Source ==
For Windows a MinGW/MSYS build setup is required.

For Linux, gcc/g++/make must be installed.

All additional libraries used by makerom (polarssl/libyaml) are included in the source, and are linked statically.

== Issues ==

* RomFS hasn't been completely implemented (but valid pre-built RomFS can be used as substitute)

Setting up Development Environment

2014-11-21T15:49:30Z

WinterMute: /* Remove unnecessary env variable stuff */

== Setup ==
* Install [http://devkitpro.org/ devkitPro]. If it's already installed, give it an update, it can't hurt. On Windows there's a GUI installer. On Linux/Mac there's a perl-script.
* Install the [http://mtheall.com/~fincs/3dsdkA/ 3dsxtools] on top of devkitPro according to the website.
* On Linux/Mac cd into your devkitPro folder and execute:
git clone https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib
* If you're on Windows you can download ctrulib as a [https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/archive/master.zip zip] and extract it into your devkitPro folder.

'''Note:''' devkitPro/ctrulib/libctru contains ctrulib itself, and devkitPro/ctrulib/examples contains a few 3DS homebrew examples.

== Building ctrulib ==
In the form under which it's provided, ctrulib needs to be built before you can build homebrew.

Open a terminal (cmd window under Windows) and browse to ctrulibs directory (the one you entered in the CTRULIB variable of the previous step). Run the following commands:
make clean
make

If everything goes right, a lib folder should be created with a file named 'libctru.a' in it.

== Building the examples ==
You can build from the examples provided with ctrulib.

* '''arm11u:''' simple homebrew example
* '''sdmc:''' demonstrates how to access files on the SD card
* '''mic:''' demonstrates how to read sound from the microphone
* '''gpu:''' demonstrates how to render 3D geometry with the GPU

== Building homebrew for distribution ==
To build your homebrew, it works the same way as for building ctrulib. Open a terminal, browse to your homebrew's folder and run make.

* This will build a .elf file and a .3dsx file together with an icon. The icon and .3dsx file are the format required for the [[Homebrew Channel]].

* To build a Gateway-compatible .3ds file you need to strip the .elf file and use makerom on it (with the provided RSF file):
arm-none-eabi-strip [ELF file]
makerom -f cci -o [.3ds file] -rsf [RSF file] -target d -exefslogo -elf [ELF file] -icon [icon file] -banner [banner file]
