Setting Up Your Developer Environment.

Warning

ADMINISTRATOR PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE PROPERLY.

How???

Basic requirements

• devkitPro.
• Coding IDE (e.g Visual Studio Code.)

Installing devKitPro

After downloading the installer, run it as administrator and click next.

Only check the 3ds package (or more systems if you are actually interested in making homebrew apps for them).

Making your first project

You'll have to download the swagrbew hello world template.

Unzip the folder, then enter your coding ide.

Before starting, here are a few things to know:

• consoleInit() initializes the console's top screen. you can initialize the bottom screan instead by replacing GFX_TOP by GFX_BOTTOM.
• printf() prints text to either the top or bottom screen (depending on consoleInit's config). \n will make the next printf() statement print on a new line.

Try Your First Homebrew App

Open the template's folder in a terminal, then run make. You can now either laod the file using citra or a homebrewed 3ds!
