FAQ

  • Does it make sense? The worst question in the console homebrew scene. Isn't it just exciting to see your favorite videos playing on a 3DS?

Credits

  • Core 2 Extreme For Video player for 3DS which this app is based on. Needless to say, the video playback functionality is essential for this app, and it would not have been possible to develop this software without him spending his time optimizing the code sometimes even with assembly and looking into HW decoding on the new 3DS.
